Teddington, London (1,840 sq /ft)
Home of ND Studios founder Natascha Dartnall, this Grade II listed, 16th-century oak framed cottage a stone’s throw from the Thames in Teddington is a masterclass in elevating an unconventional, time-honoured space.
There are exposed beams and floorboards throughout, as well as muted paintwork, sisal carpets and carefully considered but playful wallpaper.
Each room is a trove of antiques and vintage treasures all of which add to the sense of character.
The beds in the children’s bedroom are especially notable: Natascha designed the headboards so that they can easily transform from two single beds into one double by simply pushing them together.
The guest bedroom features a delightfully unique arched door into the en suite – just one of many features that make the cottage stand out.
The entire property has a relaxed feel and manages to be a delightful mix of charming, chic and cosy.
