A couple of years on from ‘finishing’ our house (i.e. the builders leaving) I’ve still got a list of things I’d like to add, tweak or recover. Obviously some jobs are bigger than others and some more pressing than others. This is my list of the things I’m coveting right now, few a necessity but things that will spark joy or smarten us up.

This grand Victorian house on the shores of Lake Windermere makes for a deeply comfortable place from which to explore the beauty of the Lake District. For me, the recently renovated hotel was a perfect lure to entice my family to dip their toes (literally) into the Lakes for the time.

Although Annie admits she found her mother’s fastidiousness very boring to live with as a child, she is now the grateful beneficiary of an extraordinary legacy. When she and her husband, Sir James Chichester, took over the house in 2014, the ceiling of the central hall was sagging alarmingly and the roof required attention, as did the plumbing and wiring. The house also needed to be updated in order to work better for 21st-century living with the addition of a family kitchen and more bathrooms.

Born and raised in Australia, Marcus Jacka came to the UK in 1996 for a research position at the University of York (he has a PhD in physics). As I admire the elegantly spare and beautifully crafted chairs, tables and lights that he makes in the studio and workshop of Non-Standard, on the edge of the North York Moors, I find it hard to believe that he has been a maker only for 10 years and is entirely self-taught.
