Nick and Kylie Bradford's proud restoration of Nundle Woollen Mill stands to keep one of Australia's oldest traditions alive.⁠
⁠
While Kylie admittedly never saw herself returning to country life after a stint in Sydney, the family couldn't be happier, living off the spoils of a life led simply. "I think we've created a utopia here," Nick reflects, musing on their purchase of what was once an overgrown block and house.⁠

After years dreaming of a move to the country, one Sydney couple finally took the plunge, purchasing a grand 18-room house with good bones, a charming garden and a vibrant history. ⁠
⁠
After some minor repairs and a fresh coat of paint, they soon filled the home with a collection of treasured antiques. "None of our pieces are worth a lot but they hold memories of our travels and the talent of friends and family," says owner Meg. ⁠

Country Style’s February issue is out!⁠
⁠
On the cover, West Highland terrier Tilly has the best seat in the house at Di and Anthony Loone’s light-drenched beach shack, @drop_anchor_, in picturesque Weymouth, Tasmania.⁠
⁠
When editor @kylie.imeson volunteered for a weekend @remount.org.au, a charity in NSW’s Southern Tablelands that supports veterans’ mental health through horse-riding, she discovered that amid the hard work, heart-warming stories abound.⁠
⁠
Peek inside @jimmybarnesofficial’s kitchen in the NSW Southern Highlands town of Berrima, with our exclusive extract from his new cookbook, co-written with his wife Jane. Time to get the barbie going!⁠
⁠
Ever dreamed of chucking it all in and embracing chateau life in the French countryside? Aussie Sara Silm did just that, buying @chateaumontfort and respectfully renovating the crumbling ruin into a peaceful retreat that breathes history from every stone.⁠
⁠
We chat to Laura Hall of @phyllidesigns, who’s taking the town of Scone (plus various celebrities and the entire internet) by storm with her custom hats.⁠
⁠
We’ve rounded up some of Australia’s most stylish country hotels – did your favourite make the cut?⁠
⁠
Ramble among the ranunculus at @starlingflowers_’ glorious Limestone Coast flower farm in South Australia, where British florist Rebecca Starling and her Aussie financier-turned-farmer husband James have made their home (and business) on James’s family farm. ⁠

⁠
The newly built home is also 100 per cent off the grid. "We're independent of town facilities - power, water, waste water," says Hayley. ⁠
