West Sussex · RH14
Loxwood lies on the restored stretch of the Wey & Arun Canal, a village of older cottages along the main street and comfortable family housing spreading out towards Ifold and Plaistow. It has a settled, unhurried character, and a good deal of housing that rewards careful decoration.
Decorating in Loxwood
The older properties near the canal and the Onslow Arms are traditional Sussex — brick and tile, modest rooms, timber joinery that has been painted many times over. Ifold and the surrounding lanes add larger post-war and modern family homes set in generous wooded plots, where the priority is a clean, hard-wearing finish that copes with family life.
Loxwood’s older cottages often carry decades of previous paint on the joinery, and the difference comes from stripping back, filling and sanding properly before the first coat. On the newer houses it is about a durable, even finish that still looks right after a few years of a busy household.
Around Loxwood and Ifold I often take a house a room at a time over several visits, which lets families spread the work sensibly without ever living in a building site.
