Let’s not even start with the weather… actually how do we not? Was watching Killing Eve last night (anyone else?) and it’s not a spoiler to say that when she turns up in England – Basildon to be precise – it was clear that that was filmed last summer as the grass was completely brown.…
To the country as the sun is shining (at the time of writing) and there is an alarm going off outside my city garden and I wish I was lying on my back under a tree looking up at the clouds scudding by. In silence. Instead I’m on the sofa typing and occasionally shouting/pleading/cajoling with…
A classic Cotswold stone house from the outside this honey-coloured grade II listed old forge is all white washed contemporary living on the inside which is the perfect foil for the low ceilings and heavy beams. It’s on the market with Strutt & Parker for £1,750,000 and consists of a five bedroom house with a…
Well I’m not going to say that summer’s here (that would clearly be foolish) but I am going to say that since the sun has been shining this week and I went to beautiful Bath for a meeting, that this house, inspired by the Case Study houses of LA felt like one I wanted to…
This is so different from the house I live in that I wonder if I am attracted to it purely for that reason. Or perhaps that during the location shoot I went up and down to the loft so many times during the week that I quite fancy the idea of a house with no…
Happy Friday. Fancy a coming for a quick tour of this rather lovely four bedroom terrace house in north London which is so typical of the Victorian terraces in this city and is on the market for £800,000 via Brickworks. It has such a clear, and lovely, red thread that I thought it would be…
Right then after last week’s million pound extravaganza we are going to the other end of the scale this week. Well, relatively speaking anyway. This is a narrow three bedroom townhouse, a short walk from Brighton beach, which is on the market with The Modern House for £875,000. Located in a former art gallery, there…
When I was growing up in the dim and distant 1970s (and it was dim as the General Strike of 1973 meant the lights and heating were actually turned off) there was a programme on television (when it worked!) called Why Don’t You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go and Do Something Less…
Something different for you this week as we’re going to see a boat. Now, admittedly, many of you won’t be thinking of buying a boat but this is a) a very beautiful one and b) gives us all lessons in small space living so it’s worth having a look round. It’s on the market with…
At the time of writing there is sun in the sky and blossom on the very early cherry tree so this week we are going up to a rooftop warehouse conversion with a view of the City. Coming? This light-filled three bedroom penthouse in Fulham, south west London, is on the market with The Modern…
