A journey of three and a half hours by car from London takes us to Mark and Sally Bailey's White Cross Farm, an old farm from 1764 in which they combine dwelling and store. Their home is an unlikely mix of old and worn with new life. It is difficult to determine where the store ends and home begins.












Have a great Saturday, my friends! And stop by tomorrow!

Located in Devon, this mid Victorian barn was transformed by owners Christina and Nigel Dickinson into a French style farmhouse with a budget of £8,000.

Good Monday morning! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I had fun learning how to skate on a two wheeled skateboard, and I'm proud to say I fell only once!

Off we go now to London. This Edwardian house was renovated by owners Naomi an Liam McNamara. They chose a neutral colour palette to complement the existing features such as the panelled ceiling in the sitting room and Edwardian fireplaces with bright-coloured tiling.




















See you tomorrow!

This house dates back to the 16th century and it is thought to be the oldest property on the street. It has an acre of landscaped garden and a giant yew tree that probably pre-dates the house itself. It is located in Buckinghamshire, only about half an hour from London by train.

Freelance TV director, Wendy Arnot and her husband Geoff say about it: ‘The house was fantastic: it had been so beautifully renovated by the previous owners we knew we wouldn’t have to do anything immediately, rather take our time making it our own.’ Geoff continues: ‘The garden, though, is what sold it to me: the owners had put so much time and money turning it into an oasis, separated into different zones, with a pond here, a pergola there; and dotted around are various outbuildings that we knew would come in handy.’

Renovations since moving in have been kept to a minimum: they’ve repaired original oak doors, widened the drive and added security gates, and built a small oak porch to the side entrance; they’ve also enhanced the bathroom.

I have already featured some gorgeous houses from 1st Option shooting locations. If you missed them go here, here, here and here. This one is called Mall Cottage and is also located in England.
Except for the bathroom which is quite modern, every room has an English style with its period furniture, antique portraits, Aubusson rug in the living room and rose floral fabrics.





























There are a few more photographs of this location right here.
