Surrey Homes | SH18 | April 2016 | Garden supplement inside

Above: The attic, once converted, was the perfect space for three children’s bedrooms. “We renovated the first two floors of the house first,” says Perrine, “and
then had to wait while we got planning permission for our plans for the top floor.” Thankfully, approval was granted, and the children now love their cosy rooms
looking at her country home, she is delighted
– with very good reason – at the end result.
“I love the house,” she says, “and so does
everyone who comes here. It’s always full
of people, children running everywhere. It’s
exactly what I hoped it would be.”
If, like me, you’d like to be one of these people,
it’s certainly not out of the question. While the
Parkers are away or not using the property, it is
available to rent as a holiday let through Bramley
& Teal. I can’t remember the cost of rental but
whatever it is, it’s a steal. Today, Tanner House really
is the ideal country escape – whether for a holidaymaker
or Perrine and her very lucky family.
