Quiet beauty

This Georgian gem was re-energised with a fresh palette and a sympathetic makeover that make the most of its elegant proportions and vintage character

Architect Nancy Gouldstone’s passion for historic properties was given the ideal outlet when she bought a Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse

With its eclectic mix of fabrics and artworks from around the world, set against a vibrant palette, this relaxed Edwardian home has a curated air of individuality

Thanks to an innovative renovation, a tiny two-up two-down cottage has been completely transformed into a wonderfully lofty, open-plan space

Feel-good and fabulous, this maisonette gives full expression to the owners’ passion for bold design

Local stone, acres of glass and Japanese blackened timber have transformed a traditional 19th-century home on the Isle of Purbeck into a smart and stylish family home
