Calm Christmas

19th century farmhouse conversion decorated for Christmas

After years living in the Far East moving between Hong Kong, Sri Lanka and Singapore the owner longed for the time when she and her husband, a New Zealander, would have a permanent base in England. "I loved all the travel and the buzz of the east," "but with 3 small children we had to think about schools and family. Also I wanted my children to have the same wonderful memories of Christmas that I had." The C1860 farmhouse they chose had plenty of potential, a stunning rural location and space to extend at the front and to the side.
