Set above a terraced garden, an apartment converted out of the ballroom of an old manor house by interior designer Felicity Lock and her husband Ian, has become their perfect home. ‘We had been looking to downsize like so many couples whose families have flown. We rented in the town for seven years unable to find a light, dry, affordable home, ’ says Felicity. ‘Last year an agent rang to tell me to view this property, assuring me I would know what to do with it.’ Although it was dark and smelt of cats, they loved the quiet location within easy walking distance of the town with amazing restaurants, pubs and shops. ‘It was the veranda and the vast half circular floor to ceiling glass doors that sold it to us and it was within our budget.’ Felicity adds.
