INSPIRING SPACES

Our choice of irresistible homes and beautiful gardens

This month, we see how one forward-thinking family extended and re-imagined their Edwardian house in London (page 96), then head to New England to discover the tranquil delights of a Connecticut retreat (page 108). Plus, we admire an elegant townhouse in Surrey that has been reworked to make the most of the views (page 120). Outdoors, what was once an awkward-sized, neglected space has been transformed into an inspirational garden (page 130), and we have seasonal suggestions for how to bring the best of autumn to your own plot (page 139).
