Sienna Milleris sharing an inside look into her traditional English cottage with a contemporary twist.
Beginning the tour in the kitchen, theAnatomy of a Scandalstar showed off the 1920s Crittall doors and expansive Lacanche stove that, as an avid cook, she always dreamt about having.
“Having such an old house is a magical thing, but contemporary touches really work,” she tellsAD.
With six bedrooms and the ability to sleep 12 people, the actress says the cottage is the “biggest tiny house you’ve ever seen.” She jokes about spiderwebs being a natural feature of a countryside home, along with her essential wine nook.

Moving upstairs, Miller tellsADthat her daughter Marlowe’s room is “something out of Jane Austen.” Although it is a charming room with tiny old windows, Marlowe, 9, uses the reading nook in the outside hallway to store more of her toys and books.
“It is heaven sleeping in my room and waking with the morning light filtering through the curtains,” she says in the September issue ofAD.
A set of vintage doors with panes of old glass lead out to a peaceful balcony overlooking the meadow. The importance of details carries into the bathroom, which boasts antique saloon doors and Moroccan tiles in the shower.
Outside of the cottage, the garden holds a number of unique amenities such as the playhouse, barbecue, pond and an outhouse.
According to Miller, the outhouse used to be a boring storage shed until Delall transformed it into “the most romantic bedroom on the property.” It contains a wood burning stove and vintage signs embedded into the high ceiling.
