Above: Katie’s room is remarkably tidy. The pink pom-pom trim on the blinds is a recent addition that matches her pink chair around to chat things through, and say: ‘So everyone, shall I go with this colour or that colour?’ ” She asked her friends if she should go for coloured glass or a mirror. “I reckon about 95% went with coloured glass, but it felt like a full stop. So I went with the mirror and I really like it! It reflects the light and makes the area look bigger.” Pale, composite worktops also keep the kitchen light and bright. High up, overhead in the rafters of the living area are five gorgeous metal lampshades: “I bought one of the lampshades on a visit to Cairo, thinking it would be big enough. Poor Johnnie. I said, ‘Can you go to the souk next week, and get me four different ones? I don’t want them matching.’ Then a local electrician wired them up for me.” On the wall are two huge photographs of Katie and Harry, standing in a stubble field amongst rolling hills. “That was taken the day before we moved to Dubai,” says Ali, who has accompanied her husband to numerous countries, where he works setting up British schools. “It wasn’t a planned shoot. We were driving along near Wye, and I thought ‘this is Kent for me’. So I took the photos as a little reminder, to hang in our house out there, to remind us of home.” As I cast my eye around their current home, I notice a curious ladder hanging on the wall, next to the kitchen. “ The builders had just put up the 4x2 posts as the plan was to use the lofted area as storage but at the very last minute we changed the plan and turned it into an X-box/ movie den as well as extra bed space for the overspill of teenagers at the weekends. The space is great and would have otherwise been wasted.” The ladder is a French hoppickers’ ladder and is both beautiful as well as functional. The majority of rooms in the house come off a wide corridor, which runs perpendicular to the front door, from the open-plan living area at one end, to the master bedroom at the other. “I widened the corridor,” says Ali, “and revitalised the 1930s doorway by painting the door and replacing the rather ugly bevelled glass on either side with clear glass panels.” The modernised doorway works a treat and, as Ali points out, cost a fraction of what it would have done to have a new door and surround. Although Ali has found clever and affordable solutions at every turn, it’s clear that she hasn’t shied away from making radical changes to the building’s layout and, in doing wealdentimes.co.uk 106
