Living in Country Style

In this book photographer Brent Darby and writer/stylist Wink Colville take a tour of rural England in search of stylish and elegant country homes. From the deep dales of Yorkshire to the winding estuaries of Devon they have selected a variety of properties to showcase the myriad interpretations of country style. Whether it be a gracious Georgian manor house, a rose-covered cottage, a converted pigsty or a windswept boat shed, each has immense charm, individuality and character.

The dedication, care and imagination that owners put into their houses is truly inspiring. Each house has a story to tell and teaches a lesson not simply in interior design but equally in how to preserve the heritage of these soulful places and sustain them for the future.

Take inspiration from these wonderful houses and interiors and discover that rare thing that is natural country style.
