Above: Downstairs, reached via French doors which face out on to the garden, is Ally’s office and work room. The room is filled with<br />

luscious fabric samples, wallpaper books and haberdasher’s goodies<br />

As you step down into each of the bedrooms, it<br />

would be easy to imagine that you were <strong>inside</strong> a castle<br />

turret and the classic, luxurious furnishings add to this<br />

impression. The main bedroom contains a regal, fourposter<br />

bed that belonged to Ally’s parents, carefully<br />

chosen dark furniture and overhead, a spectacular wirework<br />

chandelier: “I actually bought it in Africa, although<br />

they are made locally to here,” says Ally. The table-top<br />

lamps, with bead and feather trim, she commissioned.<br />

Ally is a fount of knowledge, when it comes to great<br />

suppliers of items less ordinary. Reclaimed, upcycled<br />

or imported from Africa one can only imagine that her<br />

contacts book is bulging. If you love the look, but lack<br />

the contacts, maybe you should drop her a line...<br />
