#  Take A Look At This London Family’s Elevated Take On Country Style  


Set within six acres of National Trust land, this Arts &amp; Crafts home has been thoughtfully reworked by All &amp; Nxthing’s Stephen Nash into a refined yet relaxed retreat. Balancing clean, contemporary lines with warm, characterful details, the house now offers a seamless blend of town and country living – designed as much for slow weekends as it is for stylish entertaining. Here, Stephen tells us how it all came together…

## The Property 



  

Set within six acres of National Trust land on the borders of West Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire, the property is a large Arts &amp; Crafts detached home. Prior to the renovation, much of its original character had been stripped away during a refurbishment carried out by the previous owners in the early 2000s, leaving a shell that lacked the charm typically associated with homes of this style and period. The house was arranged with five bedrooms and two bathrooms across the first floor. The ground floor comprised a hallway, study, playroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, a frame extension and a guest WC, as well as a double carport.

The house was purchased by a busy London family as an escape from the city, somewhere to head to for some well-deserved R&amp;R and somewhere the kids could play and explore. Now that the house has been renovated, they have fallen in love with it all over again and the intention is to move in and call it their full time residence.

 

## The Brief 



  

The brief was to create a home that felt unmistakably country but not overly traditional. The clients’ usual taste is much more modern and pared back, so the aim was to find a balance between warmth and simplicity – something that felt appropriate to the setting but avoided the more decorative clichés of a classic country house. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and woodland, we decided to lean into an autumnal palette that would amplify the landscape and strengthen the relationship between the house and its natural environment. We wanted it to feel relaxed, understated and inviting, with a cleaner, quieter approach throughout.

Because this is their country house, the clients wanted it to feel like a true retreat from their busy city life. Somewhere calm, restorative and deeply connected to its setting, but also somewhere that could generously accommodate friends and family. Entertaining was a big part of the brief, so it was important that the house could welcome lots of people comfortably and feel like a place where everyone could gather, switch off and stay for long weekends, with each space feeling connected but still special in its own right. The brief centred on a complete transformation of the house, both structurally and aesthetically. Having undergone a previous renovation that stripped away much of its original character, the property required a full rethink – not just in terms of layout and design, but also behind the scenes, with significant upgrades to the infrastructure to future-proof it. From new mains water feeds and roof works to water pumps and provisions for heat pumps, every element was considered during the 12-month project to ensure the house would function as well as it looks.

A key part of the brief was to expand and reconfigure the internal layout to better suit modern family living. A large ground floor extension was introduced in place of the existing garage, creating two additional bedrooms, a shower room and a snug-cinema room, bringing the total number of bedrooms to seven. On the ground floor, the internal flow was carefully reconsidered. The hallway was widened to create a more generous and welcoming entrance, with the addition of a dedicated coat and boot room, as well as a wine room. The kitchen, dining and living areas were opened up through a series of arched openings, creating a sense of connection between the spaces while still maintaining definition. Upstairs, an additional en-suite shower room was added on the first floor to improve functionality for a growing family. Looking ahead, there are also plans to landscape the gardens, further enhancing the setting and completing the vision for this expansive family home.

## LET'S TAKE THE TOUR 



 

 

 

## The Hallway 



  

We wanted the hallway to feel warm, welcoming and bright, while also working hard for the number of guests the clients planned to host. To make it feel more generous and functional, we removed several walls and absorbed space from a number of smaller rooms, which completely transformed the entrance. We also introduced a subtle shaker-style panelling detail, keeping it colour-matched to the walls so it added character and texture without feeling too decorative.

## The Cloakroom 



  

As an extension of the entrance hallway, we redesigned this area to include a full wall of coat hanging, boot storage and seating. The clients plan to have lots of friends and family staying, so it was important that it felt practical and generous enough to cope with the reality of a busy country house – including space for up to 20 pairs of boots and wellies. We also made sure to find a home for ‘Pigeon’, the clients’ much-loved vintage dresser, which has moved with them from house to house over the past couple of decades.

## The Kitchen 



  

The scale of the kitchen largely informed the layout, particularly given how much the clients love to entertain. A large, deep island became central to the design, creating plenty of space for cooking, gathering and hosting. The cabinetry takes its cue from a more traditional country style, finished in hand-painted muted yellows and browns to keep the room feeling warm and grounded. The zellige wall tiles were chosen for their handmade imperfections, which bring texture and softness to the space. We framed them in oak to give the detail a sense of structure and tie it back to the rest of the room.

## The Dining Room 



  

We opened up both ends of the dining room to the kitchen and living room with near full-width arched doorways. Although the house has a lot of separate rooms, it was important to the clients that it still felt open, connected and sociable. Once the room was opened up, it became as much a thoroughfare between the kitchen and living spaces as it was a dining room, so we wanted it to feel special both in passing and when used for long winter dinners. We continued the panelling introduced in the hallway and added a bespoke art rail, giving the room a stronger sense of character. It is now filled with a curated mix of pieces and also happens to have one of the best views of the garden.

## The A-Frame Extension 



  

Although the extension was already there, it had been divided into three small rooms and used as a gym, shower room and storage. The clients’ vision was to turn it into one large but cosy space designed purely for relaxing and socialising. We opened it up structurally and vaulted the ceiling, which gave the room its impressive height and sense of volume. That also gave us the opportunity to introduce more character and texture through oak support beams and painted tongue-and-groove panelling. Subtle details – but important in a room of this scale.

Overlooking the garden, we arranged the seating in a conversational U-shape, including a bespoke bench with log storage beneath for the new wood burner. While the interior was fairly uninspiring to begin with, the exterior felt even more unresolved, so we clad the entire existing A-frame extension in solid Scottish larch, which will weather beautifully over time to a soft silver tone and added a split circular window at high level.

## The Extension 



  

We obtained planning permission to replace the existing double garage with a new ground-floor extension, built from locally sourced oak and reclaimed tiles. Accessed from the main entrance hallway, this new part of the house includes a hallway leading to the cinema snug, two guest bedrooms and a guest shower room.

## The Guest Room 



  

In the new extension, the two guest bedrooms sit beneath the apex of the roof, giving them mirrored vaulted ceilings and adding an extra sense of volume to what were already generous rooms. We wanted them to feel cosy and considered rather than them feeling like ‘spare rooms’ so we carefully sourced only antique furniture and introduced more traditional styled wall panelling to lend a sense of permanence.

## The Guest Room En-Suite 



  

We wanted the shower room to feel luxurious but understated, using a softer, more muted palette and a balance of texture throughout. The floor is laid in a chequerboard of tumbled peach-toned and white marble tiles, paired with a traditional pedestal basin and WC. The shower is hidden away behind an almost full-height wall, with no glass enclosure, which gives the room a more relaxed, hotel-like feel.

## The Utility Room 



  

We wanted this room to lean a little more rustic and traditional than the rest of the house. Early on, the clients spoke about imagining a utility room that felt almost old-fashioned in the best possible way, something softer and more farmhouse in spirit, with curtains in place of cupboard doors, even florals, and rosemary hanging from oak peg rails. We loved the idea, especially because it sat slightly outside our usual comfort zone, so we decided to lean into it and give them exactly that.

## The Main Suite 



  

As the principal suite occupies its own section of the first floor, we wanted the clients’ private quarters to feel more self-contained and a little more dramatic, somewhere that felt slightly set apart from the rest of the house and just for them. The bedroom has dual aspects across the grounds and out towards the South Downs, so we looked closely at the greens in the surrounding landscape and drew some of those tones into the spaces.  
  
We wanted the bathroom to feel like ‘the best suite in the hotel'. The palette shifts subtly from the other bathrooms, but the materials and textures remain connected to the wider scheme. The shape of the room naturally lent itself to a generous double shower and a large bath positioned beneath the window. Opposite sits a bespoke vanity, topped with a Verde Alpi stone slab that felt like the perfect way to bring in the richer green tones carried through the rest of the suite.

## The Guest Bathroom 



  

Much like the ground floor guest shower room, we wanted this bathroom to feel luxurious but understated. The floor is laid in a chequerboard of dark and light marble tiles, while the panelling shifts slightly to give the room its own identity. The vanity is a smaller-scale version of the one used in the principal bathroom, which helps maintain the same sense of luxury while still reinforcing the hierarchy between the spaces.

## The Second Guest Room 



  

This bedroom sits at the far end of the first floor and enjoys what we think is the best view in the house, with its own balcony looking out across uninterrupted, far-reaching views of the South Downs. We added a compact en-suite shower room and curved the wall back towards the doorway, softening what would otherwise have been a more abrupt entrance into the space. As with the rest of the house, we introduced wall panelling but kept it painted in the same colour as the walls so the texture is felt more than immediately seen.
