accommodation above, with a kitchenette
and designated shower room, ideal for a
multitude of functions.
The initial rooms are accessed via
symmetrical double doors from the
hallway. To one side, the study has a full
height library wall constructed in grey oak,
and painted paneled walls. The furnishings
are mid century style, with a teak
drinks trolley found from 20th Century
Furnishing, and a vintage tan leather
Eames chair sits comfortably behind the
glass and metal ‘Kipling’ desk by Andrew
Martin.
The drawing room has no less than six
windows and french doors, with views
of the gardens, washing this south facing
room in light. A grand stone fireplace
from Marble Hill, sits on the opposite
wall, and the room is accessed via 2 sets
of substantial paneled doors. The walls
are again paneled to half height, and the
ceiling is punctuated by the grid design.
Georgina wanted to avoid the typical
neutral look for this project, so accent
colours, and an eclectic use of accessories
give the scheme a homely feel. The
pendant and wall lights are from Circa
Lighting, in a polished nickel finish.
Beyond the drawing room, is access to
the large kitchen. This space is housed
beneath a vaulted ceiling, clad in painted
timber complete with rooflights. The
kitchen joinery is designed bespoke by
PEEK Architecture. The kitchen worktops
are beautiful ‘Calacatta Brazil’ stone
from MGLW in battersea, complete
with marble splashbacks. The room also
houses a dining and lounging area to the
far end. The multitude of glazing, such as
the rooflights and French doors, give this
space an orangery feel. A sizeable larder
is situated off the kitchen, with full height
shelving and wine racks. The dining table
is in tactile pine, from Sweetpea & Willow,
and the dining chairs are in an industrial
metal finish, from Baker & Stonehouse.
A modern gas ribbon fire defines the
lounging area, clad in the same Bateig
Beige tiles as the floor.
Off of the central hallway to the rear is
the luxurious guest wc, with black and
white rustic marble floor, deep blue walls
(‘Hague Blue’ by Farrow and Ball).Tall
walnut joinery provides storage, and the
sink sits within a marble vanity unit.
The formal dining room, which is central
to the front door, is at the end of the
ground floor hall, in a more intimate
location. Full height, painted paneling clad
the walls, and large windows flank the rear
wall creating a large bay.
The terrace to the rear, is enclosed by the
kitchen and family space to one side, and
the formal reception the other, both with
large French doors lining the walls.
