Above: In the large kitchen, ironed cotton sheets hang on wooden hoist and spindle airers It felt as though the clock had stopped at midnight on December 31st 1899. This impression heightened as we passed a dumb waiter and a board of servants’ bells in a flagged hallway, patchworked with old Persian rugs, and went into the large kitchen, where ironed cotton sheets hung on wooden hoist and spindle airers and the cook’s labours were apparent on a scrubbed deal kitchen table. When one of the house’s owners, Paul Oxborrow, appeared in the doorway from the garden I was still lost for words, gazing around at the lace-trimmed cloth atop the mantelpiece – complete with a pair of fine Staffordshire dogs – dressers stocked with blue and white china, copper pots hanging on the walls and two armchairs with cosily worn floral loose covers, either side of the Aga. It was like being in a book by E. Nesbit. Stocking a tray with a coffee pot and elegant cups and saucers, Paul took me back upstairs to the drawing room, a superb double salon with matching fireplaces at each end, where it would be possible to succumb to the nicest kind of sensory overload, taking in the richness of the furnishings and detail. The passementerie alone is dazzling – in a good way – with decorative bullion and tassels hanging from the elaborate pelmets, golden braid along the mantelpiece and a large tassel dangling from the brass chandelier. The light over the table in the bay window, which goes up and down on a satisfying pulley system, is trimmed with extra long red silk fringe. The side of the room we were sitting in, Paul explained, was once their sitting room. The other half, now resplendent with a grand piano – the house’s co-owner, Stephen Groves, is a pianist and church organist – was their kitchen. “The house was built in 1881 and divided into three flats in 1925,” explains Paul. “We bought the entrance level flat in 1995, then six years later the maisonette above became available so we bought that and then a year later, we were able to buy the basement, so by 2002 we had the whole house.” But Paul and Stephen didn’t wait until then to start their grand decorating project. “We decorated this end of the room like this when it was still a flat,” says Paul. “Then, when we were able to take the kitchen out of the other side, we already had the fireplace which was a perfect match for this one. We found it in an antiques shop in Tunbridge Wells and thought we’d buy it, because ‘maybe one day’…” Because of this staggered time frame, the marbling on both fireplaces and on the panelling all round the conjoined rooms, from the skirting boards to the dado rail, was done over the years by three different sets of craftspeople. It looks seamless. Adding the final touch to unify the two spaces, they commissioned the woodworker who has done all the work in the house to match the gold-leafed mirror they had over the original fireplace, so now the two sides of the room are perfectly symmetrical, right down to the two delicate Chinese blue and white tea bowls 57 wealdentimes.co.uk
