Step inside a converted Tudor farmhouse

The owners created extra space for the family by ripping out an indoor swimming pool and replacing it with a tranquil chill-out living room, complete with retractable cinema screen.

The owner designed the sofa, which is upholstered in fabric from House Plan Interiors. The Bourgie lamp by Kartell is from Bloomsbury.

Shiny porcelain floor tiles, stainless steel and bespoke glossy lacquered cappuccino-coloured cupboards ensure the kitchen looks polished. Low ceilings did not deter the couple from hanging crystal chandeliers but they have been cleverly placed over the island and table where they won’t be head-butted!

A bold red Egg chair provides a shot of energy, while also grounding the light furniture and materials. ‘If you keep the basics neutral, you can always add and take away colour‘, says the owner.

At night, the dining room‘s very atmospheric and cosy with the low ceilings, candlelight and the fire burning, says Catherine.

The dining table was rescued from a reclamation yard in Bristol, while the chairs were poached from the onwer’s company boardroom.

An oversized Anglepoise lamp adds a fun element to the snug, while cosy sofas, cushions and throws give it a warm feel.

The low table in seamless moulded polyester is from Established & Sons.

The master bedroom sits between a wet room and dressing room to create one big luxurious suite.

The freestanding bath and rolled-up towels create a hotel-style bathroom. ‘I collect the luxury toiletries from hotels and put them in a large jar, so guests have a never-ending supply!’ says the owner.
