Charming Interior: Renovated 16th Century Cottage in Cotswold

June 1, 2023
  • Share

I adore charming cottage renovations. Mainly, because I lived in a small cottage in Los Angeles. So when I see a uniquely renovated cottage it piques my interest. I discovered this lovely home in House & Garden. This pale stone cottage, with its charming turrets and gables inspired by Scottish castles, has undergone a remarkable renovation that seamlessly blends history with modern design. Influenced by her Norwegian roots and years in Portugal, the current owner has transformed this cottage into a practical yet aesthetically pleasing home for her family. Each room has intricate details using vintage materials and elegant wallpapers. The owner collaborated with Gloucestershire-based architect Christian Fleming to help expand the property to fit her four children comfortably. The 16th-century cottage feels like it came from a fairytale. Scroll below to see the rest of the home.

The Story Behind the Cottage Renovation

Stanley Falconer, the late director of design at Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler, previously owned the cottage. He already featured unique design details and additions that drew the attention of the current owner. Stanley had placed his particular stamp on the property, from antique rim locks, timber paneling, and elm flooring. The present owner, however, realized there wasn’t enough space for her big family. She needed to add an expansion.

The Handpainted Kitchen

Maybe the most enchanting room in the house. So much detail! Will Foster Studios hand-painted the cabinets in the kitchen, which were designed by Carlton Smith.  The cabinets are made of French wood with Silestone’s ‘Yukon’ countertops. The backsplash behind the over are 18th-century Portuguese tiles.

The Green Dining Room

The dining room is rich in character. The wallpaper is Zoffany’s ‘Verdure’ wallpaper in tapestry green. To add a vintage twist, she added French mirrors sourced in Paris and an 18th-century marble-topped Italian console table.

The Charming Bedrooms

When the owner moved into the house in 2013, she eliminated a windowless dressing room to expand the primary bedroom. Luis Maximo, a Portuguese upholsterer, fit a four-poster bed draped in florals from Bennison Fabrics between its sloping walls. The guest bedroom features bed curtains in Bennison Fabrics’ Pondicherrylinen textiles.

Cotswold Garden and Outdoor Space

The attractiveness of the cottage extends beyond its interiors, with a garden that oozes romance and tranquillity. The existing garden was enhanced with the help of historic landscape specialist Sarah Cotter Craig and designer Phillippa May. The cottage garden features everything from wild daisies and peonies to rose bushes. So dreamy!

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.
