Straight and narrow

The proportions of these houses are not particularly good, they are a little too tall and a little too narrow says interior designer Cindy Leveson of the hallway of this nineteenth century house designed in collaboration with Holloways of Ludlow. The rooms have been opened up and the hall wall removed and replaced by almost invisible sliding doors, which disappear into deep reveals. The elegant, painted corner cupboard opens to reveal a practical space for coat and boot storage simple but brilliant.
