We have carefully restored the house to its original 1880s layout and use, using entirely period wallpapers, decorative objects d'art and antique furniture, down to the smallest detail, including bathrooms. All rooms are furnished in high Victorian style, and the house has the feel of a living museum. There are also servant's quarters with pantry scullery and kitchen with a service lift and a speaking tube to the dining room.

Stephen and Paul have spent 20 years returning the house to its original configuration, decorating it and filling it with period objects. Great care has been taken over the artistic style of each room, so that guests can enjoy a unique experience of stepping back in time.

St.Leonards was established in the Regency period as a purpose built seaside resort, and was expanded in the 1880s when St.Benedict was built. It is now both a holiday resort and a centre for artists, with a growing number of galleries and vintage/antique shops. The gracious architecture of the area is an attraction, as is the proximity to the English Channel.
