upstairs guest room is decorated in a wallpaper from Cole<br />

& Son, that again nods to the Arts and Crafts vernacular<br />

of the house. In each room Clare has cleverly combined<br />

different styles and eras all put together with ease. “I was<br />

very lucky, an artist who once lived under my husband’s<br />

mother’s house died, and they were giving away his stuff as<br />

no-one wanted it, sadly. We managed to get hold of some<br />

really eclectic pieces, much of which you see in the house<br />

now. I have added to it over the years with other pieces but<br />

it’s always nice to inherit a good set of paintings early on.”<br />

As with everything in this most magical of houses it<br />

is Clare’s effortless sense of style that makes it so special.<br />

It is a house that is cherished, yet not over precious. It<br />

is a house that is homely yet without lacking elegance<br />

and it is, of the many houses one visits, a house that<br />

you would really rather love to own yourself!<br />

This page: Over the garage Clare has created a guest suite. She<br />

got the curtains that dictated the scheme of the room from a<br />

job and found the rattan bedhead on eBay<br />
