In the airy kitchen, the long oak table is an adapted version of The Conran Shop's Biblioteque, designed by Terence for this kitchen. The chairs were rescued from a decommissioned ocean liner, recently reupholstered in pale blue leather to soften the mood.

2/9 Kitchen island
Both Terence and his wife are keen cooks - as evidenced in the industrial-seeming island unit, built for practicality.
3/9 Kitchen shelving
Shelves provide a home for collections of copper pans, salt and pepper cellars and crockery. Find brick tiles at Johnson Tiles.
4/9 Dining room
Black Fischel chairs work beautifully with the Saarinen Tulip table, which Terence has had for a long time.
Find similar chairs at SCP; Geoffrey Drayton sells Tulip tables. The Rug Company has colourful rugs.
5/9 Living room
The sofa and rug in the living room are Terence's own designs.
The coffee table and chess table are by Benchmark, the Arco lamp is by Achille Castiglione: Twentytwentyone sells them. The room is painted in Farrow & Ball's New White and defined by Blackened on the ceiling.
6/9 Study
The ceiling in the study was lowered to create a more intimate working space; large curves for lights have been moulded, lending it a rather space-age feel.
Find office chairs like this at Aram. The walnut desk was another one-off by Terence.
7/9 Hallway
The French Deco metal table in the hallway was bought in the L'isle-sur-la-Sorgue flea market in Provence. The boxes store Terence's collection of butterflies.
8/9 Bathroom
The Victorian tub is a favourite place to escape to after a busy day. The basins are set into caramel-hued Italian travertine stone. Shaker brushes, found in an antiques shop in New York, hang in a row over the unusual 'hole' fireplace.
Victoria Plumb sells a bathrub like this, Stone Age does similar basins.
9/9 Customised chair
This chair was redesigned by Terence when it broke - he turned the arm upside down.
Find similar blinds at Hillarys.
