FAMILY RESIDENCE
~ An enchanting family residence nestled in the heart of the countryside ~
A rural backdrop forms the stunning setting for this elegant family residence which draws inspiration
from Georgian architecture and the colours of the Amalfi coast. Period features take centre stage,
with full height doors and sash windows adding an element of grandeur. Deep blues offer a subtle nod
to the Tyrrhenian Sea, beautifully coalescing with soft whites and soupçons of antique gold. Artwork
is prevalent throughout the home, from the carefully curated gallery wall showcasing treasured
memories to a framed Hermès scarf and playful prints.
The large reception room has been designed for entertaining. A bespoke chandelier comprising 1,800
hand-hung crystal droplets forms the stunning centrepiece, bringing instant glamour to this family
space. Navy blue silk walls meet with crisp white panelling to provide an elegant canvas for an array
of seating including a silver-grey sofa, occasional chairs and antiqued mirror coffee tables.
The kitchen presents an equally inviting space. A sophisticated backdrop of Zoffany silver is merged
with soft white Corian surfaces and sparkling crystal chandeliers, reflecting the light streaming in
through the French doors. An Aga range sits alongside stylish details such as Ralph Lauren houndstooth
backed chairs and an antique mirror splashback, adding an extra layer of opulence.
These timeless design details are perfectly complemented by a chequered Nero Marquina and white
Carrara marble floors which adorns the entrance hallway. A Bob Dylan watercolour ‘Dallas Hotel
Room’ adds further visual interest, echoing the deep blue tones weaved throughout the interior.
A sweeping staircase crafted from wrought iron balustrade is shaped into a graceful curve, leading
the way to the upper levels of this exquisite home. In the master suite Ralph Lauren pinstripe walls
serve as the backdrop for a stunning navy upholstered emperor bed which is layered with swathes of
sumptuous textures and subtle prints.
The ensuite acts as a seamless extension of the master bedroom, with high gloss grey eucalyptus veneer
and chrome inlays mirroring the wardrobes. A classic free standing bath, inspired by a 20th Century
French fireclay bath, is positioned beneath a glittering chandelier, fusing a vision of modern luxury.
This home represents family living at its best, offering the perfect marriage of classic style with
distinctive contemporary touches.
