“Holiday homes can sometimes be a bit sterile, but this is part of our home, and it’s full of the things we love. We use the space as an art studio, a library, and a place to gather with friends.”
They love
“The amazing walks through the Itchen Valley. From the doorstep, there’s a local loop that runs alongside the River Itchen, where you can spot trout, kingfishers and herons, with a stop in the picturesque Bush pub.”
We love
The gentle colour pallette, so calm and inviting, and the enormous library of inspiring books.
