Inside this magnificent old house in the English county of Wiltshire, it is simply impossible not to think about its past – high ceilings and characteristic second-light windows remind you of the special history of this building.

What we love about lofts is their uniqueness – each object is not like the others, and sometimes there are completely unique objects.
