Above left: Double doors open out from the sitting room into the courtyard where Helen has decorated the space with driftwood and pebbles and bunting from SHOP Above right: The bathroom something, I’m driven to do it anyway. It was the same with SHOP. You have to speculate to accumulate.” Also giving her confidence, one great thing was in place – the ground floor had already been knocked through to create one large airy room. “I just put double doors out to the courtyard, so you can see right through from the front door, which makes it look much bigger and brings in light from both sides. I also asked the builder to strip back the 1980s plasterboard from the back left corner to see what was underneath – and it was the original sandstone, so I’ve left it.” Apart from that, the main structural work Helen did was to remove the ceiling on the first floor, where the two bedrooms are, creating a lofty vaulted space, which completely transforms the cottage proportions. So rather than the pokiness so often found upstairs in small houses, the top floor of this one has the airy romantic feeling of a Paris garret. Helen has played up this unexpected scale further by putting in an oversized vintage metal ceiling light, found at Ardingly antiques fair, at the top of the stairwell. On the landing wall is another surprisingly big – and therefore perfect – item; a portrait of Christopher Isherwood by Fraser Taylor, Helen’s friend, that she bought during an art sale at renowned Soho restaurant L’Escargot, in the 1980s (when it was the most fashionable place to eat in town…). Just as the top of the house is so much more spacious than you’d expect, down at the bottom of it, the lower ground floor kitchen has no basement feeling, because of the large window, looking out onto stairs leading up to the front of the house. Here is an area Helen has planted very boldly, with wooden box tubs of dramatic succulents and lavender, enclosing a front patio area with a table and chairs – a perfect spot for her to sit and watch the urban world go by, in this close community. The kitchen itself is very simple, with a St Leonards junk shop table – “the only thing I could fit in” – and Greek-style rush seat chairs from IKEA. “These chairs have been every colour known to man.” The design is deceptively simple with whitepainted Shaker-style cabinets, which look more like pieces of furniture than a built-in kitchen. “It was built by a local carpenter – Mark Tomlinson – out of wood, not MDF. He also did all the windows. Helen added a new back door and tongue and groove panelling to go over the original sandstone walls, so they can breathe. That’s how it would have been when the house was built. It had to be bespoke to get the right beading.” The kitchen floor is old scaffolding boards supplied by Hastings and Bexhill Wood Recycling Ltd., cleaned 93 wealdentimes.co.uk
