Can you imagine living in a 4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣-year-old house in the English countryside? 🫢 This family does, and their home is mind-blowing 🤯 It’s not just old—it’s filled with secrets, art, and charm that’ll leave you speechless 😲🏰 See inside of the house in the article below 👇
Let’s step into the beautiful English countryside, where a stunning 400-year-old mansion stands proudly. Many British homes are breathtaking, but this one leaves you speechless from the moment you walk through the door.
Blanche, the owner of this remarkable home, is the cooking editor for a popular British website and the author of a well-loved cookbook. Her husband, an art historian, is passionate about finding and supporting talented but lesser-known artists.
This two-story house, with its stone floors and rich history dating back to the 15th century, was bought by the couple in 2001, before they were married. The home is a heritage site, just like many others in the area, with its traditional adobe walls and thatched roof.
Now, let’s take a look at the dining room annex, where the family comes together during visits from relatives.
Adjacent to it is the living room, filled with cozy touches such as a fireplace, a small stained-glass window, a chest of drawers for firewood, and a shelf brimming with vintage books.
To make walking on the antique stone floors more comfortable, the living room and several other rooms are double-carpeted.
The house is filled with art, many of which grab your attention. It makes sense, given Blanche’s role in the art world.
The home even has two living rooms and two dining rooms, even though there are only three people living there.
The first floor also has a restroom.
The kitchen, though modern in appearance, still holds historical elements, like the AGA stove and a collection of copper utensils that Blanche has been collecting over the years.
The children’s living room is decorated with artwork by the British artist Grayson Perry.
Now, let’s take a look at the parents’ bedroom—where waking up would feel like royalty.
The second-floor bathroom also has plenty of charm.
The guest bedroom is frequently visited by relatives, so there is always a sense of warmth and joy in the house.
Even the stairwell here feels like a piece of art.
And here’s a glimpse of the nature surrounding the house:
A peaceful, typical English scene! The serenity of the landscape truly stands out. Perhaps this house will continue to stand strong for centuries to come.
