Painted in Zoffany Paris Grey - the dining room walls are lined with a collection of Grand Tour gouache works of Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. The painted chairs with navy leather seats are by Christopher Howe in Pimlico. Built in 1850 as a two-up two-down it had been extended at both ends by a previous owner providing a sitting room and a play room TV area opening onto the garden with the kitchen and dining room in-between. An enfilade view through three rooms was a bonus. Although the cottage was in good condition the new owners wanted to put a definite individual stamp on the place and create a sophisticated garden where there was just lawn and a few shrubs. *** TEXT AVAILABLE ***
