Previous pages: Next to the kitchen is a cosy room known as ‘the snug’. Initially a very light grey, and devoid of much natural light, Caroline has worked with the darkness, choosing deep tones and adding little pops of colour Above: Caroline initially intended on turning the playroom at the front of the house into a snug. The walls are painted in Pavilion Gray and Mole’s Breath by Farrow & Ball and prints on the wall were found at Battersea Affordable Art Fair So, what exactly have the Victorians done for us? For those of you who remember the television series of a similar name, you may well know. Or, if not, its presenter Adam Hart-Davis sums it up neatly: “In 1875, the Bulldog Club defined the perfect British Bulldog in a booklet that was circulated to breeders everywhere. From dogs to engineering, from sports to space and time, the world was becoming obsessed by standards and the rules that defined them. This was the world of the Victorians.” Another thing that gives us a clue about the lives of the Victorians are their houses. Relatively ordinary on the outside – at least their proliferation has this effect on our judgement – it’s hard to step inside a Victorian ‘family home’ without marvelling at the sheer scale of their interior spaces. By new-build standards, well, there really is no comparison. At least, this seems to have been the thinking of Caroline and Simon Kyriazis when they decided to leave Tooting in south London, with their children Tilly and Oscar, and move to Tunbridge Wells: “We love period houses,” says Caroline. “We had a Victorian terraced house in London and before that we had period flats.” And it wasn’t just the era that was the same: “This house is really similar in size and layout to our London home,” says Caroline. It’s easy to see why they wanted something similar: high ceilings, huge rooms, great layout and just the right amount of period detail to give it character, but without feeling stuffy. Unfortunately for them, the appeal of such houses had not gone unnoticed by other house-hunters. “As soon as a suitable house came on the market, which was not very often, it would get snapped up,” says Caroline. Being in London did not make house-hunting any easier. “We couldn’t get down in time and houses would sell overnight,” says Caroline. So, they decided to enlist the help of a property finder: “We wouldn’t have found this place without help from Fiona Penny,” says Caroline. “She has great relationships with the agents so knew about this house before it officially went on the market.” It worked out well for the sellers too, as Caroline and Simon made an instant decision when they viewed the house. “I was standing outside and I just got a feeling. It was really weird. I’ve had that with all of the places we’ve lived. I’ve walked in and thought ‘I love this house’,” says Caroline. “Fiona also has a great ‘little black book’ and helped us with everything from the removals company, to finding swimming lessons for the kids.” Despite finding their dream home, it still took a little 77 surrey-homes.co.uk
