From crumbling castles to rose-covered cottages, this sumptuous volume is a love letter to the layers, lineage, and lived-in magic of the British countryside’s most iconic interiors. English House Style invites you to wander through a thousand years of English domestic design, told in richly detailed rooms and stories pulled from the legendary archives of Country Life magazine.
Each chapter is a journey—through Gothic arches, Tudor woodwork, the genteel restraint of Georgian elegance, and the cozy, curated charm of Arts & Crafts. Sixteen distinctive styles are brought to life in photographs (many never-before-seen) from the grandest estates to the most delightful hidden gems. Think Castle Howard, Strawberry Hill, Hatfield House—and secret darlings like Wardington Manor and Lindisfarne Castle.
With its beautiful binding and irresistible visual history, this book is more than a decorative object (though it will look terribly good on your coffee table). It's inspiration for decorators, daydreamers, and anyone who’s ever imagined reviving a forgotten drawing room or reimagining a countryside escape.
A must for Anglophiles, aesthetes, and castle-in-the-sky dreamers alike.
