Several years ago Tim went house hunting in Carmarthenshire. “As I have a mysterious fascination with Wales probably because my mother's family are Welsh as well as a lifelong interest in architecture I felt immediately attracted to this fantastic old house as soon as I heard it was for sale” enthuses Tim who bought the property before he met his wife Suzi. It is now their much-loved family retreat light years away from their metropolitan life in London. Known as The Great House it stands in a long street of fine period properties in the quiet little town of Laugharne nestling by the Taf Estuary renowned for its association with the poet Dylan Thomas who lived in a boathouse only a short distance away - 2014 marks the centenary of Dylan Thomas' birth.
