Allison Ilsley, and her husband, Richard, a management consultant and ultra-walker, have lived a global life in Chicago and London. However, their latest move proved rather shorter than their previous trans-Atlantic journeys. “We had been living in a lovely Grade II listed cottage on the far side of our village, in the pretty Dedham vale, but with two young sons – Alex and Rowan, then three and five – we decided we needed more space and a bigger garden,” explains Allison.
Their five-bedroom family home used to be the staff quarters.
