About the Item

A House in the Country, The Second Home from Cottages to Castles by Mary Gilliat. London: Hutchinson Co. Publishers LTD. First edition hardcover with dust jacket, 1973. 160 pp. A review of revamped English and Irish cottages, barns, farmhouses, rectories and castles as second homes. An essay on the restoration of these homes along with all aspects of British country living, the decor, builders and architects. It describes the rural resentment of the weekenders, remembering that the infiltration could well be the salvation of rural Britain. The houses are usually holiday homes chosen for their location, amenities and external aesthetic qualities and are decorated for relaxation and comfort. NPT Books, a division of N.P. Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
