Wealden Times | WT232 | September 2021 | Winter Interiors supplement inside

This page: The extension now links on to what
was once a stable block via a stunning glass
corridor of black slimline frame windows
wall lights. To the far left and to the right are two rows
of exquisite full-length pale grey cupboard doors.
The ones to the left are finished with a geometric
brass trim and in front of the four doors to the
right – which enclose cupboards to house the
outdoor wear and other daily bits and bobs of
the homeowners and their two daughters – is a
glorious midnight blue velvet banquette. A very
classy spot to sit and take your trainers off.
Then you go into the downstairs loo… although
‘guest cloakroom’ does seem a more appropriate term
for this chicest of lavvies. The glamorous Art Deco feel
of the hall intensifies here, with a black marble, brass
and fluted glass sink unit of astonishing loveliness – by
Oasis from West One Bathrooms – fitted against a
black marble wall, with a matching fluted glass mirror.
Even the towels in here are perfect, in black
and gold geometric patterns by the Biba label
(currently marketed by House of Fraser), which
is appropriate because this is definitely the most
luxe Art Deco interior I’ve been in since visiting
that famous shop as a child in the 1970s.
