Amelia Harvey never tires of seeing her visitors’ astonished expressions when they first set foot in her multicoloured Cotswold home. ‘From the outside, it’s fairly unassuming and traditional, but that is certainly not the case inside,’ she smiles. ‘Behind the subtle green front door, there’s a riot of colour and pattern; it’s quite the surprise.’
This jewel-toned gem is a huge departure from the neutral, Scandi-style house in London where Amelia was living four years ago. When lockdown struck, the entrepreneur reassessed her life and snapped up a handsome Grade II Listed cottage and its annexe, located in the peaceful village of Shipton-under-Wychwood. Between June and December 2020, Amelia embarked on an ambitious, whirlwind renovation journey, transforming the annexe and cottage, as well as the cottage next door.
