The Grove Interiors

In 2021 Merchant & Mills purchased 4 The Grove, dating from the 1890s a former home of the headmaster of the Rye Grammar School. The house has been renovated to bring back its former Victorian splendour. It’s been a canvas for our interior ideas and projects; a gallery for Carolyn’s collection of art, furniture, trinkets and treasures and, of course, host to the many wonderful creative retreat guests that we welcome each month of the year.

Until now it’s been a bit of a midnight garden. Tucked away, unassuming, beyond Rye railway. Opening our doors on Saturday made it feel like a home, one where our ideas and inspirations live. And now yours too.

Victorian Bedroom Renovation
Classically proportioned, the rear facing large bedroom 2 has restored cornice and ceiling rose, crowning the original fireplace and original cupboard wardrobe. There is a magnificent hand-forged king-size iron four poster bed, dressed laundered linen and bolsters, with selected throws over the organic wool duvet and pillows. Rugs from Turkey, considered lighting, curious detailing and vintage finds furnish the room. A small, traditionally upholstered armchair, framed by distressed original Catalan shelves is the highlight of this unique scheme.
