The children’s bedrooms are remarkably tidy, but
like all the rooms in the house, have been designed
to function well, so even the young inhabitants have
little excuse not to keep things in an orderly fashion.
Victoria and David’s daughter’s room is furnished
with a carved Laura Ashley bed, dressing table and an
antique armoire, and accessorised with Cath Kidston
rosebud bedlinen, a Kate Forman floral print fabric
for the blinds and vintage painted tables and chairs.
The couple’s son’s room is themed with his
current favourites, racing cars and sailing boats
and Victoria says her three year old is very proud
of having tidied it himself for the visitors.
In the children’s Jack & Jill bathroom, sliding doors
enable the room to be comfortably spacious. Pale
travertine tiles cover the floor and walls and the whole
room was properly tanked to cope with splashes from the
huge bath and walk-in shower, sourced from Burge &
Gunson in South London. Again, Robert, the carpenter
made the unit for the wide ceramic basin which is served
by a simple but solid curving tap inset into the wall.
