Linda has transformed their Georgian house both inside and out
Their latest triumph is an outdoor room, perfect for relaxing and entertaining in. “I looked at buying furniture for it but couldn’t find what I wanted in the right size so we decided to make it ourselves,” says Linda.Chris constructed the frame for the sofa, while a local maker supplied the seat cushions and Linda, who collects vintage fabric, made the covers for them out of Indian Kanthas.
“I love cooking and eating outside and wanted an outdoor oven. The Traeger is brilliant and so much less messy and more efficient than a barbecue. Everything your kitchen oven can do, a Traeger Ironwood grill can do outdoors, plus you can control it from an App on your phone to maintain consistent temperatures, so you don’t have to stand over it. You can even slow cook in it and put meat in to cook overnight,” says Linda.
She and Chris have carved it into zones and created eight big vegetable plots because although the soil is quite dry in Holderness, it is a good area for growing. “We also got someone in to help us dig and lay an 18 metre pond.
“It’s brilliant. I love Humber Street in the Fruit Market, which is full of independent shops and creatives, and the HoH food hall and there’s a really good arts scene with galleries and theatres.”This winter will mean spending more time indoors and continuing finishing work on the house.
