AT HOME WITH...
Owners Roberta Ashley lives here with husband Zefa Mongan and their three-year-old son Rudi. Roberta sources and sells rustic and vintage pieces through her online store Hunt the Pearl (huntthepearl.com, @hunt_the_pearl). Zefa is an interior architect.
House A Grade II*-listed restored Wealden Hall House with a traditional timber-frame construction, built circa 1475, with three bedrooms.
