FOREWORD In the summer edition of Luxury I mentioned that myself and my business partner Mark Cuzner were lucky enough to have acquired Luxury, complimenting our growing portfolio of publications. I’m pleased to tell you that our summer edition has had amazing feedback and the response has been really overwhelming as our glorious summer weather (which is hopefully set to give us an Indian summer, despite the cooler night temperatures. Autumn is one of my favourite seasons and signals the start of the National Jump Season at Cheltenham Racecourse. And in this issue my team and I have worked very hard to bring you some useful and thought-provoking articles to help you with your own home design aspirations. In this issue we feature Kitchen Gallery who have been designing and installing SieMaticfurniture since 1987. The team at kitchen Gallery understand the importance of quality and craftsmanship. Customers have come to expect the very finest levels of service and aftercare and the very best in contemporary kitchen design. See pages 12-17. We also chat to international interior designer Anna Dodonova's and how her design skills have helped create a fabulous family apartment in a new build in Knightsbridge. The property has breathtaking views of London and has over 300 square meters of space. Read more see pages 38-42. For all you keen golfers who are interested in the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles read our article about a substantial new build property that overlooks the course with breathtaking views of the countryside and its wildlife. If you are lucky enough to be in attendance keep an eye out for this stunning new property. See pages 62-67. I’m also delighted to be featuring an Historic Mill House in Malmesbury this month which is just on the edge of our Cotswold region. The Old Mill House has been a family house for a long time and was even mentioned in the Doomsday Survey in 1085. It’s currently on the market and would be a fabulous investment opportunity for the property tycoons out there! Finally as we approach Autumn I really hope that you’ve enjoyed the summer months and like myself, are looking forward to the cold, crisp mornings with the mist shrouding the Cotswold Hills together with all the exquisite changes that Mother Nature has to offer.
See you in December.

River Residence Nothing to Mill over when looking at historic Malmesbury property ne of Wiltshire’s most iconic homes has gone up for sale in the market town of Malmesbury. Old Mill House is instantly recognisable as one of the first sights of Malmesbury when entering Malmesbury from the North and base of the town’s hill. There it sits, riverside, instantly noticeable by its impressive iron gate and large windows. Steeped in history Old Mill House is situated next to the town’s Silk Mills, now converted into flats but once the hub of the town’s wool and then silk trade. This family home has been part of Malmesbury for a long time, with reference to the watermill, where the house is situated on in the Doomsday survey in 1085, however the first detail is recorded in 1300 as a corn mill known as Schotesbure Mill. Old Mill was once the ‘power house’ for the various industrial processes carried out on the site and has undergone much change over the period to today. From a traditional vertical undershot wheel believed to be on the side of a single building, the structure grew to four separate buildings, two each side of the current hallway, with a vertical mill wheel between them - the mill race running through the centre of the buildings. Once through the large iron gate, that greets you on arrival, you are then at the fabulous oak door with a lock and key taken from Bradenstoke Abbey. Either side of the door are coach lamps while of you look up at the parapet of the property you will see a lead urn,

originally from a stately home in Gloucestershire. Many of the artifacts now part of Old Mill House are the product of the sifting of antique furniture and effects brought to the building whilst an antique business set up by one of the town’s most famous characters of old - Bill Couch. He owned a business called Keyford Galleries and based it in the front of the property. He is responsible for various features in the house including the galleried hallway balcony. This is hand made with hand pressed lead crests that are originally from the luxury liner - The Mauritania and the carved fireplace drawing Room, which has been attributed to Grinling Gibbons. The house, although period, lends itself to various decoration and the current owners love of Chinese art seems a perfect match, with both pictures adorning the thick walls and purpose built cabinets in the corners of rooms to show of various ornaments and treasures from the Far East. Once inside the property you will suddenly feel the sudden sense of history. A grand reception hall with Karndean flooring and the galleried landing give it a real sense of grandeur and character that continues throughout the house. The drawing room features the ‘Grinling Gibbons’ carved fireplace while the 24ft formal dining room has a bookcase that also operates as a secret door to the kitchen and breakfast room. The property boasts a further three

reception rooms, a cloakroom and a boiler room. On the first floor, the 24ft master suite occupies one side of this home with feature fireplace and decorative tiled surround, an ensuite, separate cloakroom and a storage area. Across the landing, which possesses impressive floor to ceiling cross lead paned windows that throw in an abundance of natural light, are a further 4 bedrooms and family bathroom. Externally, this substantial property enjoys a waterside terrace garden ideal for al fresco entertaining with steps widening down to the river’s edge. Exclusive fishing rights can be enjoyed upon this gently flowing stretch of the River Avon which provides an abundance of aquatic life, including fresh water trout and if you wish, cray fish. Set around the reputed location of one of the UK’s first horizontal mill wheel is a generous parking area and double garage with storage. It is here you can see the historic Silk Mills, built in 1793 by Francis Hill, a clothier from Bradford. A century later, the woollen industry in Malmesbury as a whole had closed down. In 1852, after years of the site slipping in and out of use and various owners, it was bought by silk manufacturers Thomas Bridget & Co. of Derby. Silk ribbons were very much in demand in the Victorian era and at its peak the factory employed around 400 people. The business failed in 1899, but was reopened and by 1900 there were 150 workers. The mill was forced to close yet again that year, but as before it reopened, this time in the early 1920’s by Avon Silk Mills Co. Ltd. Silk production continued until 1941 when it was closed down by the Ministry of Supply ceased and the employees diverted to more important war work, much of it at Ekco just outside the town. After the war in 1950 the Dryden family bought the mill; initially to dress and process rabbit skins. Myxamatosis put paid to that and in 1954 it became the antique showroom; an imaginative change in their business plan. The use as Antique showrooms continued When Bill and Mavis Couch purchased the site from Hugh Dryden in 1967. Princess Margaret was a

frequent visitor throughout the period and would often ‘take refreshments’ with Bill and Mavis in Old Mill House. The current owners of Old Mill House have been in the property for over 30 years and have brought up a family in the town. The house, while in their tenure has become famous for their Christmas tree, which was placed in the large first floor windows, visible from the front of the house and when lit from the nearby bridge. This is a tradition that we hope will be upheld by the new owners. Old Mill House is on the market for £695,000 for more information please contact: Lockstones 52 The High Street, Malmesbury 01666 338633 David@lockstones.co.uk Lockstones can be found at 52 The High Street in Malmesbury and can be contacted on 01666 338633, or email david@lockstones.co.uk

Door hardware specialist Oxford Ironmongery has expanded with the opening of a new shop selling timber doors in Marston. The new outlet, called Oxford Doors & Security, will display beautiful internal and external timber doors in a realistic setting so that customers can see what their new door will look like in situ. The showroom is the only one of its kind in the area and builds on Oxford Ironmongery’s 33 years of experience in the door hardware market. As well as the aesthetics of the doors themselves, trained, experienced staff will be on hand to advise customers with their security, safety and accessibility requirements. The showroom displays a full range of glazed, semi-glazed and unglazed doors in contemporary and traditional designs all in natural timber. The full range of stylish door furniture for which Oxford Ironmongery is well-known will also be on show and specialist security products can also be selected to keep homes safe and secure. Julian Newman, Director of Oxford Ironmongery is convinced that customers will be pleasantly surprised by the doors on display at the new Oxford Doors & Security shop. “The timber door offering has really come on in leaps and bounds over the last few years and these doors are now manufactured to engineering standards. The old contraction and expansion issues are long gone; the modern timber door is made in a technically advanced factory where attention to detail is the absolute norm” he says.

A Room with a VIEW With this fantastic spell of weather we are experiencing, what better way to enjoy your home than with a Rebate building. Bringing the outside in, creating the perfect room to relax, dine and for simply enjoying your garden.
Above and below: This traditional conservatory which incorporated two gables, is a fantastic addition to this period country house. It has been positioned to take advantage of both the stunning country views and vistas of the landscaped gardens. The floor area of this traditional conservatory has allowed the owners to make the most of the space it provides by separating the dining and living areas. This creates a feeling of space while still maintaining an intimate setting for entertaining.
