For Judy Craymer, this country home in a peaceful village in Warwickshire represents her “absolute sanctuary” from her frenetic work life (she is producer of the phenomenally successful stage musical MAMMA MIA!, as well as the equally popular film starring Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan). The Grade II listed building is made up of two distinctive halves: an elegant Georgian façade, coupled with a beamed cottage that dates to the 1600s. Judy turned to her friend, Alison Papworth of Camhall Interiors, for help with putting her stamp on the interiors and gardens, and the home now exudes a calming air, with its limewashed beams and palette of greys and creams that helps unite the two different eras.
