The sensitive restoration of a former village post office has delivered a new life in the country for Bee Osborn

FIRST CLASS

Exterior

Bee has spent considerable time restoring the gardens surrounding the pretty thatched cottage. The pleached hornbeam trees from Burford Garden Company add an elegant screen to the garden in the summer months and in winter lend a sculptural appeal

Living room

The low-ceilinged entertaining space has a cosy cottage charm. Walls painted in Sheringham Beach by Fenwick & Tilbrook. Sofas, side tables and pouffes, all Studio Osborn. Mirror, Station Mill

Bee Osborn has carved out a successful career designing beautiful interiors with her award-winning, internationally acclaimed firm, Osborn Interiors. For her, a home is a place in which you should feel nurtured and relaxed. ‘Life is hectic and it is important to create personal spaces that enable you to unwind,’ she says.

Located in the Cotswolds, Bee’s thatched stone cottage dates back to the 1530s. Combining classic detailing with a modern country aesthetic, the interior is a beautiful mix of traditional and contemporary: think a chalky palette, original stone walls, panelling, elegantly styled furniture and occasional dark tones, adding a subtle change of pace and drama.
