After a five-hour trip from West Sussex to Cornwall, it was an absolute delight to step into this gorgeous coastal home and receive such a very warm welcome.
Luckily (considering the rather touch-and-go weather we’re having this year!), it was a case of sunshine all the way for the memorable, fun-filled shoot with photographer colleague, Andreas von Einsiedel.
Creative interior designer Suzy Smith and her husband David went to huge lengths, jumping through all sorts of hoops, to transform this ancient property into an incredibly stylish home. I just adore the penthouse suite with its amazing panoramic views and classic navy-and-white scheme. In fact, I couldn’t resist taking this quick behind-the-scenes snap (below).
To find out how this hardworking pair tackled their ambitious renovation to create a stylish, relaxed home with a gentle nod to its breathtaking seaside surroundings, pick up a copy of this month’s (August 2016) 25 Beautiful Homes and enjoy a leisurely read.
