Take a tour around a 17th-century cottage

This 17th-century cottage in West Sussex has a modern extension, hall, sitting room, open-plan kitchen-diner, media room, boot room, 3 bedrooms (one en suite) and 2 bathrooms.

1/8 Exterior

2/8 Sitting room

A seat beside the fire gives the living room a warm, cosy feel.

Find a similar chair at The English Sofa Company. The coffee table is from Axel Vervoordt.

3/8 Kitchen-diner

The kitchen has deliberately been kept simple to allow the eye to take in the beautiful view of the surrounding gardens and countryside beyond.

Shaw Stone sells granite worktops.

4/8 Media room

Pretty vintage-style florals lift the dark colours in the media room.

The curtains are in fabric from Nicholas Haslam.

5/8 Hallway

Religious carved and painted wood sculptures make a focal point on the console table in the hallway.

Lombok sells console tables like this.

6/8 Dining room

A collection of pewter and silverware takes pride of place in the dining room.

The Hemingway table from John Lewis is similar to this one, and the chair covers are in fabric from Nicholas Haslam.

7/8 Bedroom

Interesting proportions, created by low, sloping ceilings, make the bedroom extra cosy.

You can find a similar bed at Feather & Black.

8/8 Bathroom

Thanks to the paintwork, the bathroom is wonderfully light and fresh.

The walls are in Not Totally White from Papers and Paints.
