Showcasing 32 country houses, in places as various and far apart as the prairies of Indiana and the coast of Denmark, 'Country Living' is a spectacular tribute to the potency of the rural idyll. The first part, Traditional, looks at heritage locations ranging from a farmhouse in Texas to an 18th-century island chateau.
Rustic focuses on homes where wood and other natural materials are the main elements. Romantic covers homes that are particularly pretty or feminine in character, while Simply Tranquil takes a look at more pared-down rural architecture, where whites and neutrals predominate. From Suffolk to the Swiss Alps, the homes featured here are exciting to explore and of lasting interest.
Whether traditionally elegant or unusual and experimental, they all capture the magical allure of country living.
