- WORDS AND STYLING MARISHA TAYLOR

WHY WERE YOU LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME? It was 2022 and we were living in a semidetached four-bedroom house in Surrey with our three children, Amelie, 10, Evie, eight, and four-year-old Ellis. We'd spent many summers enjoying trips to the Dorset coast and always said we would love to live by the sea, especially after my parents retired here. Then when my husband's job went remote, we found ourselves with a now or never choice. With the kids still young enough for a move, we decided to go for it, a complete change of lifestyle!
