Constructed between 1465 and 1480 by Thomas Tropenell, a prosperous clothier, the manor was designed as a comfortable home rather than a fortress. Its remarkable preservation is what makes Chalfield truly special. From its symmetrical façade and mullioned windows to the charming oriel windows, the manor exemplifies late medieval domestic architecture at its finest.

When it comes to interior spaces I am an unashamed maximalist. Though counterintuitive a room dressed with furniture feels larger than an empty room. Similarly a messy desk often indicates a well ordered mind. The way we organise interior spaces is deeply psychological. 

Nestled high in the Cotswold Hills, the village of Snowshill is a picture-perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. It feels like a scene from a storybook, complete with honey-coloured stone cottages, winding lanes, and breathtaking views.
