On a sunny Monday morning in Somerset, Pearl Lowe’s kitchen is a scene of cheerful chaos, with people and dogs coming and going in every direction. Our hostess is producing coffee and amusing conversation for the BAZAAR team, her own assistant, the postman and the florist Kitten Grayson, as well as her daughters, the model Daisy, who is visiting from London, and Betty, here for the school holidays.
Lowe, the singer - songwriter turned fashion designer, interiors expert and vintage-furniture dealer, has transformed this elegant Georgian house into a home as multifaceted as she is. It also contains her business headquarters and atelier, a shoot location and a studio belonging to her husband, the Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey. The sound-proofed extension was the only addition the couple made to the 11- bedroom building when they moved here in 2016, having coveted it from afar for years.
“A friend had said, ‘Oh, you’re going to adore this place. It’s completely you’, so she took me to see it,” Lowe says. “It was snowing, and the lady of the house was tobogganing down the hill. I fell completely in love, but I just couldn’t afford it.” For several years, Lowe stalked the Grade-II listed property on Rightmove, and when the price dropped, she called the owner, who told her to make an offer. She did—and was both amazed and delighted when it was accepted.
