Whatever the season, the sitting room offers warmth and comfort. In summer the French windows open onto the terrace, allowing the fragrance of jasmine to pervade the room, and in winter, the imposing fireplace takes centre stage with a roaring log fire.

With the soft pastel shades and bold fabrics of the décor sharing the room with original stone plaques of King Charles I and the Lion of England, the fusion of old and new comes together to create an atmosphere of calm and restfulness.
