The one thing Hilda Barnfield was sure about when she and her husband Howard were looking for a bigger home for their family, was that she didn’t want another Victorian property. ‘I’ve always hankered after a mid-century style house and really thought that’s what we would find when we moved,’ she says.

‘At the time, we were living in a nice area of Brighton, close to a park in a typical property for the area – a tall, thin Victorian townhouse, which was a bit top heavy, with a postage stamp size garden. But, with three boys, we knew that quite soon we’d need more living space inside, and a larger garden,’ says Hilda.
