Some of my favourite houses are the ones that don’t actually look decorated. Or should that be designed. The ones where it looks like the owners just unpacked their stuff, poured a glass of wine and sat down. This Georgian townhouse is one of those. Although, it has to be said, the words “Georgian” and…
So last week we looked at a four bedroom house in the wing of a country manor and this week we’ve got the whole manor. It’s actually a four bedroom former rectory that’s two or three times as big as last week’s but that can bring its own issues I think. This is on the…
We’re off to Leeds this week to a Grade II listed 17th century hall which has been divided into three homes of which the end wing, with four bedrooms, is for sale. It’s on the market with Manning Stainton for £399,950 and is five miles from the city centre. It’s spread over four floors with…
Now this is lovely. It’s a three bed maisonette that’s on the market with The Modern House and it’s in west London. Before we go in I should point out that I only ever post a selection of images from a listing and always include the link so that you can go and look around…
Welcome to The Househunter and my selection of a fabulous property that is on the market this week. Each week we take a look around a different house or flat and see where we can take inspiration and what the owners have done that might give us ideas for our own spaces. The price is…

A big house this week but one that is filled with colour ideas and is also one of the most distinctive properties in the area of East London in which it lies. This detached building is on the market with The Modern House for £1,795,000 and has four bedrooms. It was built in the late…
I am often asked to look at small flats and cottages with small rooms and while I try to be as obligiing as possible, I can’t always find good examples of these – this post is, after all, as much about the aesthetic as the advice. However, today I have found a small flat –…
Finishing the August Archives with a look back to these two properties which were on the market back in March. From Monday we will be back to normal with some new inspiring rooms to look at, some new trends and ideas for your own spaces and a new episode of the podcast where Sophie and…
Every now and then RightMove does a round up of the most unusual properties on the market at the moment and this month they include a windmill, a castle, a water tower, a converted church and an unconverted church and a bungalow that has been transformed into a Venetian Palace. Oh yes. You need to…
