Artist Robert Montgomery and poet & actress Greta Bellamacina welcome House & Garden into their picturesque Georgian country house in Kent. “We wanted to make something that blended an English Georgian house with an Italian colour palette,” explains Robert when reflecting on the decision to take on the project during lockdown whilst pining for Italy.
The Kent home of Montgomery and Bellamacina is a jewel box of candy colours, distinctive antiques and original artworks. Watch the full episode of ‘Design Notes’ as we tour Robert & Greta’s country house in the idyllic English countryside.

A dream
The poem at the start made me roll my lips together in an attempt to restrain an outburst of laughter. However, I was promptly rendered speechless not by barely tolerable overwrought poetry but by this fortunate couple's magnificent home. It's unbelievably gorgeous. Wow. Thank you so much to everybody involved in this short film, I really appreciated having a look around such a breathtakingly lovely home.
I wanted to hate it but I love it! It’s very “pretty”, whimsical, spontaneous, lots of DIY details, like living in a dolls house or storybook. Definitely has a twee, Wes Anderson quality, but good for them. What I like about it is that it’s fashionable but not “cool” or trendy, they are unafraid of being corny.
I liked almost everything, apart from the texts
Love it not my style but love it!
What are the heating bills ?
Just. Creepy.😮
So lovely!
so pretentious
it's nice… but I hate it.
Love love love everything ❤❤❤
Utterly fabulous
A lovely, comfortable home.
You know its good when the whole video feels like an SNL sketch
Love the colour, playfulness, the enjoyed original features a beautiful play of current & historic. Love this home, delightful, not taking things too seriously but poetic.
Zoolander?
Stunning place and lovely people – they obviously love their home and each other –
Wowowwwww! This is so sweet
the most pretentious poetry I've ever seen. Watching on mute just to take in interiors only!
Beautiful home, but these people are the absolute worst.
I like it, but the giant text art is terribly out of place. It belongs in a barndominium.
I love the colour in the dining room – beautiful!
This is giddily contrived and amusingly pretentious. What makes it comical is that the parents dont realise how amateur theater production all this thing.
What an absolutely incredible home.
Keyboard courage commenterpalooza
a fabulous ironic pastiche of posh pretensions.
terrible talentless art too. enjoy!
That pretentious beginning …
I like how arty this is. When i first started watching this, I thought they were fake, but when I looked up her movie. She can actually act.
Yummy so rare to get a glimpse of such creativity and sensitivity ………….. I bet the house is reeling with Joy given what it has lived through over the centuries ie formality and rules………..
Do they shit cash?
Initially, i thought "luvie, pretentious, I'll hate this" and it is absolutely the most beautiful interior i think I've ever seen. How blessed they are.
The house is gorgeous and the garden seems lovely.
I always watch on mute, only puts sound if host seems interesting and then rewatch on mute slowest speed if house is fascinating.
The decor of this house is appalling, the “art”, the scale and placement of furniture are off, as for color I always imagine the place on a cold dreary day and this is awful especially kitchen and bathroom.
This came off as a bit performative…but a lovely property. The home has great style potential.
This is so full of everything that matters. Really enjoyed watching that.
Affected vibe of the homeowners (artifice designed to impress) is a bit too much, a deterrent to enjoying the beauty of house & garden. Seems like a commercial for themselves.
Beautiful house, the interiors though, colours, all over the place, looks tacky in places, and confused, keep trying, your get there 😮😂
Delicious…
Oh dear, never mind.
OhdearGod, but the comments are vile! There is an outpouring of nasty snobbism masquerading as 'Just-us- plain-folkes' … A pool of piranhas trying to cleverly tear apart this family, accusing them of MONEY, pretension, clichés, & being something akin to an American television show. I can only surmise that people's cultural references are SEVERELY limited, their tastes questionable and their oversized envy thinly disguised as mild disgust. HOW DISAPPOINTING!
This family is wonderful, and their imagination a sheild against the nasty greyness of the world… and SMALL MINDS.
It's like marmite
Unusual home for Unusual people.. love the kitchen
I don't understand the negative comments, I'm not a fan of the poems but the rest of the house is gorgeous and I didn't find them more pretentious than any other pair on the channel.
This house seems to smile.💛
What a beautiful home.💛💛💛
