Scavenger hunts
|
|
Lakeland homes with Narnia-esque ambience, mountain farmhouses riddled with heirlooms, and life-sized gingerbread houses where floral installations grace the dinner table; this month we celebrate some of our most scout-and-seeker homes. Places where scavenged goodies have a seat at the table, lampshades are wrapped in vintage Indian saris, and WWII army huts have been relocated to the cliffs at Polperro via zip wire.

Charity
|
BLACK MOUNTAINS, HEREFORDSHIRE
|
|
An authentic farmhouse with a contemporary flair, at Charity you'll find piecemeal wall displays of found tools and cookbooks written by the owner's mother to offset the modernity of its hot tub and cinema barn.

Ellesmera Mill
|
DARTMOUTH, DEVON
|
|
A lesson in luxury, but with a heavily foraged edge, this 400-year-old millhouse could only be created by an owner no stranger to treasure hunting; from Moroccan treasures to heirlooms, every item has a story to tell.
