Norman Cottage

Featured as cover story for “House Beautiful Magazine’s April ’08 issue, this house’s interiors are elegantly serene, with beamed ceilings and six wood-burning fireplaces. Mantels are of limestone, floors are wide plank limed-oak and the library beguiles with its Gothic paneling. A superb curved staircase leads to the family’s bedrooms. French doors allow complete access to the gardens, both front and rear.
