When Sue moved into her home some 30 years ago, the designer’s vision included breathing fresh life into its interiors and adding a glass extension (now the bright and airy living spaces span 3,460sq ft). By leaving both the textured stone walls and thick wooden beams exposed and adding the right amount of colour (a bold burnt-orange wall downstairs, which serves as a backdrop to a lemon-hued sofa; a yellow-painted wall in the main bedroom), as well as installing up-to-date appliances, Sue has exquisitely blended history with modernity.

Sue’s interiors certainly make a statement (not least in the main bedroom, or “master floor” as Sue calls it, a playful open-plan space that features a tub and study). Its location does too: whether you’re peeping out one of the windows or standing on the south-facing terrace in the garden, the bucolic views of the surrounding Cotswolds countryside are breathtaking. “One of the amazing things about this house is the connection to Cleave Hill,” Sue says. Measuring 330m, the nearby point is the highest in Gloucestershire. In fact, the home is “well placed for incredible walks in all directions.”

Having lived here for three decades, the designer is ready for the next chapter – and a new challenge. And while there’s plenty she’ll miss about it, she likes “the idea of someone taking this place on and doing something fresh with it”. If you like what you see, request a viewing today.
