Traveller’s retreat

Mould was stripped out, floorboards liberated and fireplaces exposed when transforming a near-derelict Cotswolds cottage into a chic, contemporary home, artfully styled with antiques

Drawn by the peaceful setting and history of the property, Alison Elliott and her husband, James Sampson, have lovingly improved their elegant Victorian townhouse

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

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

For one young family, renovating this space transformed it into an all-day hangout

This serial decorator couple built their forever home by creating a joyful space that balances period details, modern comfort and a connection to the creative, eclectic London neighbourhood they love
