Wealden Times | WT188 | October 2017 | Kitchen & Bathroom supplement inside

Above: The hall is clearly from another era, every detail in perfect keeping with the late 19th century period of the house, from the
rich red wallpaper, polished mahogany furniture and Holophane-shade chandelier, to the taxidermy specimens under glass domes
of the Colonel himself, which they hunted down.
Next door to that is the music room, a rather playful
swerve back to 18th century baroque, with fauteuil chairs
and a gilded organ of great magnificence, complete with a
cherub, where Stephen practises for his church engagements
(he plays at St. Pancras in Lewes). There’s a rare glimpse
of modern life in here, with a flat screen TV – concealed
behind a painting, which is lowered to watch.
