PREVIOUS PROPERTY

‘We lived in a three-bedroom cottage near Heathrow,’ says Ella.

DINING AREA

‘Previously there was laminate flooring in here and grey floor tiles in the kitchen, which felt disjointed,’ says Ella. ‘Now the light oak herringbone pulls the two rooms together.’

Engineered oak herringbone flooring, from £32.80sq m, Wood and Beyond. Hay J77 dining chairs, £131.75 each, Maven.

Ella Fletcher has no regrets about moving from London to a peaceful street in the Morningside area of Edinburgh. After meeting husband Rory at Edinburgh University in 2004, the couple had always dreamed of moving back. ‘It made sense to return before our daughter started school so we planned to rent first,’ says Ella. However, Rory found a job in Edinburgh straight away, so the pair quickly sold their property in London and started house hunting.
