However, there is always the danger with a favourite style of allowing one’s passion to get the upper hand and for a property to become a museum, a hymn to a particular genre, and while fascinating for a connoisseur to explore, not always a success as a family home. A combination of the two styles, seasoned with a pinch of Ikea, was the perfect solution. Jenny’s knowledge of 60s vintage and Scandinavian furniture – and where to source it at the right price – had always been part of the service she had offered to her clients and it now really came into its own in her own home. This was a totally different environment from her Victorian house and needed a certain approach not only in terms of décor but furniture. “We just had to do a little tinkering here and there but it was really a matter of working with the strengths of the property and applying a style that would highlight the space and light.” “It was just a collection of big bright spaces that already worked perfectly for us,” says Jenny of her home. She has now also started a vintage toy business which has rapidly expanded into all things vintage and has both a website – – and a concession in Dorking High Street tea shop Gorgeous Gerties.

We walked through the door and hardly looked back.” We looked at some Victorian properties but it wasn’t until we saw this we realised that, actually, it would work perfectly with both our family and professional lives. “We’d really outgrown our last home and wanted more space both inside and out but it had to be within a relatively easy commute from Doug’s job in London. “What we were looking for primarily was square footage,” says Jenny. However, the sums didn’t quite add up and they became open to a more contemporary property. Like so many other house-seekers they were looking for a period home – in their case a Victorian house like their previous terraced home but larger. And such a couple were Jenny and Doug Branson when they were looking for a new home for themselves, son Jasper (7) and twins Kit and Jude (5).Īctually, that’s a lie.
