Townsend Place in Shrivenham (Bovis Homes)

Townsend Place (Bovis Homes)An interior stylist, who has dressed a national housebuilder’s family show home in Shrivenham for a special Christmas event, has revealed the importance of the village’s military heritage on her work. Grace Morrison, from Claude Hooper Interiors, decorated the five-bedroom house at Bovis Homes’ Townsend Place, off Townsend Road. There are framed military photographs, model aircraft and old books from the Royal Military College of Science to mark the impact of the armed forces on Shrivenham, now home to the Defence Academy of the UK.

As well as making the interior design relevant to the area and the homebuilder, Grace has also focused on colours. “We have used pastel colours, deep purples and metallics throughout the house and decorated two Christmas trees – one in the sitting room and a second in a reception room, that we have styled as a play area to mark the family-theme,” she says. “The feature tree in the sitting room has around 800 lights and is decorated with dusty greys, blues and deep purples. We have co-ordinated the trees with the wrapped presents underneath. The beautiful coffee table has been dressed to match the tree – and the dining room table next door is all ready for Christmas too.”

Prices start from £260,000, and Help to Buy is available
