This page: The bathrooms are luxurious
and inviting spaces with contemporary
furniture and the sleekest fittings
The same company made the wall of
cupboards in the amazing master bathroom, on
the first floor, one of the details – no shampoo
bottle and other beauty product detritus – which
makes this the most fabulous bathroom I have
ever been in. “This room was a bedroom,”
says Claire, “but the client is a dedicated bath
person, so we decided to sacrifice the bedroom
so she could have her dream bathroom –
calm and serene, looking out onto the front
garden with its original stone fountain.”
With the large Georgian window and the
original fireplace and mantelpiece still in place,
the room retains an airy bedroom feeling, so
different from a cramped, extractor fan bathroom.
The standout feature is the oversized,
stand-alone, squared-off matt bath (from
West One Bathrooms, as are all the
fittings) which sits in the centre of the large
space looking towards the window.
Finished with a separate brass standpipe tap,
with an elegant pedestal table for necessary
items to the side (and this is definitely a bath
to take a glass of wine, or a cup of tea to…),
it is both ultra classic and contemporary,
with the latter emphasised by the shiny
marble-effect oversized porcelain floor tiles,
also used on the walls of the large shower.
Across the landing is the master bedroom
– with the same calm and cocooning
atmosphere as the bathroom, with the
same view over the tinkling fountain
