– which complements the beautiful ecru grey, crackle
glaze brick tiles. A Venetian wall mirror and pristine

Jen’s special touches such as the cherubs and the crystal
doorknobs on the wardrobes, she has created – here and
throughout – an incredibly stylish, spacious yet functional
‘place in the country’. Just as well really, as the Ruffys have
now decided to move down from London and live in it.
