TV presenter Sarah Moore effortlessly creates a charming getaway.

After a year-long search for the perfect property, interiors enthusiast and Money for Nothing presenter Sarah Moore discovered an ideal renovation project in the market town of Arundel, West Sussex.

Film fans may recognise 15 Bond Street from Wicked Little Letters, as it appears in the movie, with Edith living next door. Sarah transformed the tired one-up, one-down cottage into a relaxed yet luxurious retreat, infusing it with her signature style, rich colour, and character.

The characterful little cottage was once the residence of bakers and servants of Arundel’s castle, but after years of neglect was in full need of a full renovation. The listed property is now unrecognisable. Thanks to Sarah’s eye for colour, the cottage has been lovingly transformed and is now packed with colour and personality. The cosy hideaway opened its sage green front door to holidaymakers in June 2024 and has been warmly welcoming guests ever since.

Sarah wanted to evoke a sense of relaxed luxury, blending furnishings that carry the charm of reclaimed pieces with modern functionality. The space features top-of-the-line kitchen appliances and a sumptuous bathroom, all wrapped in a vibrant tapestry of colour and character.

When tackling a renovation project, having knowledgeable and accessible suppliers is essential. The team at Ashbee & Stone was outstanding in assisting me with assembling the entire package. We worked closely together, carefully reviewing the checklist to ensure I had everything I needed. I truly appreciated being able to speak directly with their expert staff. Their support was exceptional.

I was keen to have both a bath and shower. We have a Petite Millbrook roll top cast iron bath in our own home so I knew that I could incorporate comfort and style from a seemingly smaller bath. I love the chunky, durable feel of the bath. It feels like a traditional old cast iron bath but is brand new and has all the modern touches. We've received fantastic reviews from our visitors, one even mentioned it was the best shower they’ve ever experienced.

The mix of traditional and modern ensures guests can relax in comfort and enjoy their stay.

The vibrant colours flowing through the house reach their peak in a sunshine-yellow bathroom. Surprisingly spacious for the property, the bathroom was formerly a bedroom, giving Sarah the freedom to include both a luxurious bath and a shower from Ashbee & Stone.
