Great escape

A PITCHED ROOF EXTENSION WITH WOODEN CLADDING IS JUST ONE WAY VICKY AND GARETH HAVE NAILED NEW ENGLAND STYLE IN THEIR SEASIDE FAMILY HOME

Anyone unfamiliar with Camber Sands might be surprised by the old-fashioned charm of this tiny coastal enclave. It’s tucked amongst the dunes, just a pebble’s throw from the beautiful historical town

With its natural textures, inky tones and artfully upcycled finds, this holiday home has been designed to soothe the soul

The lure of seaside living led to Sarah Peasant and her husband Nick relocating to Dorset where they found a dated 1980s house that was to become their ideal family home

Thanks to the narrowest of extensions, the owners of this welcoming home were able to create a stylish space that suits them perfectly

Functional but with more than a touch of luxe, this updated Sixties home offers just the space and flow one family needs for themselves and their treasured collections of art, accessories and furniture
