6: Pearl Lowe

Round the Houses with Sarah Beeny

This week Sarah's in beautiful Somerset at the fabulous country home of Britpop star turned clothing and interiors entrepreneur Pearl Lowe.

Pearl's passion for her home is palpable from the minute Sarah opens the door, and listeners join her on a tour of her impressive country manor with its dozen or so bedrooms and views of rolling fields. While admiring its velvet clad baths, Victoriana-inspired black floral wallpaper and spectacular Shaker-style kitchen, Sarah talks to Pearl about her sobriety after long-term addiction, the reality of having your personal life unwillingly splashed across the NME every week and domestic bliss in the countryside with her husband, Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey, and their children.

Pearl also looks back at the homes she's had before, and reflects on how a near miss with this house years ago ended up with her living here today.
