Wealden Times | WT171 | May 2016 | Restoration & New Build supplement inside

Above: The pool house, at the far end of the garden, has a touch of Victorian Gothic style about it and looks out over the vast lawn and swimming pool
path to the beautifully rebuilt swimming pool.
Stone steps around the pool form a kind of amphitheatre
and there are all-weather rattan recliners from OKA for
family and friends to soak up the spring and summer
sunshine. The pool was rebuilt from its former Roman
style into a simpler, rectangle and specially lined with
a grey, rather than white or blue surface to ensure that
the water appears as a softer blue to better suit the
English light. At the far end of the pool stands a rather
grand summerhouse from HSP in Suffolk, which with
its elegantly curving glazing bars and oriental style
lead roof strongly resembles a delicate, but enormous
lantern. Inside, rattan sofas have lime green cushions
scattered across them and offer the ideal spot from
which to look back across the rose and lavender
beds at the very lovely, wisteria-covered house.
