Liv Styler, Personal Stylist

January 13, 2021

Interview with Liv Styler, Personal Stylist

As we enter 2021 in full swing, we sat down with Liv Styler, a Surrey-based personal stylist who has some advice for boosting our mood in the winter months and lets us in on some top fashion tips! We want to continue to shine a light on the local independent businesses that make Surrey what it is and lend some character to our lives. 

Liv Styler offers a range of fashion-related services including body shape and colour analysis, wardrobe editing and personal shopping services both online and offline!

You're a qualified colour consultant; what would be your suggestions for winter wear in Surrey this year?

Try and wear some colour! It’s easy to resort to black in the winter, but wearing colour, even if it’s a bright scarf or a statement necklace, will lift your features, even your skin tone and make you feel happier. And if you feel happy, you can get through the winter! Otherwise layering is in, so pile on the jumpers and coats and you’ll also look stylish too.

We can see from your Instagram account that you wear a dazzling array of colourful outfits. Where did your love of fashion come from?

My love of fashion started with my mum who has always been super stylish and never afraid of wearing bright colours. When I was little I loved watching her getting dressed up for a night out. I wished that I could be as glamorous as her and I could always be found dressing up in whatever I could get my hands on. As a child, Mum would take me on shopping trips to Guildford - we would go to Benetton, or Tammy Girl and I could pick out an outfit. As I grew up, I tried lots of different styles and had plenty of fashion disasters, but now I love being individual and styling items my own way to get the maximum out of my clothes.

Your brand name is Liv Styler; is Liv Tyler a style icon for you?

No! (Sorry Liv!)I just wanted a fun Instagram name and I suddenly came up with Liv Styler as a play on her name, so I hope she doesn’t mind! I’m known as Olivia by my friends and family so Liv has become a bit of an alter ego!

I get a lot of my style inspiration from Instagram. I might see something I like on one of the many stylish ladies I follow, and then recreate the look in my own way.

You offer a Wardrobe Edit service, what's your philosophy behind what should stay and what should go?

It’s simple - if you love it, it fits you, it flatters you and you do a happy dance when you’re wearing it - keep it! At least twice a year, I will have a declutter of my own. I don’t have anything in my wardrobe that I don’t actually wear. I don’t have a massive wardrobe and I never store my clothes during season changes as I like to always see what I have. When you open your wardrobe you want it to reflect you and your style personality and picking outfits each day should be easy and stress-free. I love helping my clients find new combinations from their existing wardrobes which they might never have put together before. Once we have gone through every item (sorting into charity and selling bags etc), we then hit the shops to fill in the gaps, or I will send them style and outfit suggestions online.

Where do you shop locally?

The Gate Boutique is a lovely independent store in Guildford and her gorgeous sister shop, Catwalk, is in Godalming. The Shop At Bluebird in Guildford always has an excellent collection, as does Courtyard in Guildford and Quattro Rish in Reigate. I’m also a huge fan of Oliver Bonas and have been since the 1990s when they only had one store!

When you're not working, where are your favourite places to go in Surrey?

My husband and I love to take the dogs up to the top of The Mount in Guildford - the views are fantastic and on a clear day you can see across to Wembley! We also love walking around Pewley Downs and beside the river too.  We both love cooking at home, but we do enjoy a good restaurant - my favourite being The Ivy Castle View in Guildford, as the food and service are always amazing. Other favourites are De Nada in Guildford which is a fab Spanish tapas place, and The Olde Ship pub does the best wood fired pizzas. I also have a new-found love for Gail’s Bakery in Guildford, but I have had to restrict my intake of cinnamon buns to weekends only!

2020 was a tough year for local businesses, what are your hopes for 2021?

My hope is that we can start to get back to some sort of normality in 2021, with my small business slowly being able to gain some new clients who would like to start their year with a beautifully organised wardrobe and perhaps some new clothes to make them look and feel great.

Liv has a fantastic deal for anyone wanting to enter 2021 in style! Any service booked during January will be discounted by 20%! To redeem this offer or to find out more about Liv Styler visit www.livstyler.co.uk

Inspired Textiles: House Alice

Inspired Textiles: House Alice

Christmas is fast approaching, and local businesses are going to need our support more than ever this year. Christmas shopping just wouldn't be the same without the small local businesses who pour their heart into their work and create truly unique gifts and experiences. We sat down for a chat with Alice Witheridge, an experienced textile designer, who launched her own range of products this year through her business House Alice. House Alice sells lampshades, wallpapers, notebooks, sweatshirts and more, all with Alice's original designs that are created by hand. 

How did you get involved with textile design? 

Since an early age, I have been influenced and inspired by colour and pattern. As a child, I was always making things, building things, and experimenting with different art mediums. Textiles were something I was particularly drawn to; I love the fact that you can apply art to a functional piece of fabric. I studied Textiles and Art Printing for two of my A-Levels. After leaving university with a degree in Fashion Design, I began my career as a Design Assistant for Jigsaw. From this, I moved to work for Helena Gavshon Studio, a leading London design studio. I worked part-time in-house as a Studio Coordinator which involved travelling around the world, selling, sourcing, curating client collections and working with designers on briefs. I also freelanced designed for Helena alongside this role. After having my daughter in 2014, I went fully freelance for Helena, who is still my agent today and took on other clients. This year saw me start my own extra products-based online business House Alice. 

What brought you to set up your own business?

Having designed so many prints over the years for other peoples brands, I really wanted to be able to put my name to some physical products. I love freelancing for other people and watching what they do with the designs I create, and I will continue to do this, but I wanted a little something just for me, to be able to design a product from start to finish. 

I missed designing for a product and seeing the end design, so founding House Alice was the natural next step for me. As for taking the plunge in 2020 of all years, Covid 19 has had a huge impact on projecting forward online retailers. Companies that have an online presence are going from strength to strength, and so this to me felt like a platform I wanted to get involved with. 

Where do you source your inspiration from?

My inspiration comes from a love of ethnic prints, patterns and colour; I take my influence from all around the world. I'm the daughter of hippies, so I've been heavily influenced by other cultures and travel, and this has always come through in my work. I spent a year at age three living in India, and I think all the colour and pattern there must have seeped into my bones early on! My work is a mixture of classic and trend-led prints, so my designs will evolve over time by exploring some new cultures while still having that classic grounding. I believe that art is just so important for the home, it's uplifting at this time, it really raises spirits, and so I will continue to create for years to come! 

What is your process? Do you have a studio? 

My studio is in Worplesdon; it's a lovely countryside studio in my garden. Everything starts from hand; I mainly use watercolour and a variety of techniques that lead to an assortment of styles. I experiment with traditional textiles like Shibori, batik, tie-dye, silk painting and anything I can learn to do! Once I have a hand-made piece, I scan it in and use Photoshop to finish off the designs, by putting them into repeat and tweaking elements. I then get my prints digitally printed. 

You're a Surrey-based designer, where do you recommend people visit?

I'm always inspired by Watts Gallery, I love the shop and the exhibitions they hold, I always come away inspired to create something, and there are some lovely walks in the vicinity. They also make the absolute best French Toast! Other than that there's One 40 in Cranleigh, it's an independent shop with a real collection of women's wear and stationery. I feel the High Street lacks these destination stores; they're a real hub of the community. If we are to bring back people to the high street, we need to be able to make them not so formulaic; independent shops spark curiosity, and a reason to leave the house! I also am slightly addicted to any garden centre, Secrets is a great place to spend an afternoon, and meander around the shop there as well. 

Where can we find your work?

I work a lot with social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook.I'm going to be featured on kissedbybetty.com soon, and I plan to start approaching local businesses. For now, if you're looking for Christmas present ideas, then the best place to purchase my work is on my website www.housealice.com and House Alice on Etsy.

Have a Heart Charity Christmas Sale 2020

have-a-heart-xmas-sales

December 4, 2020

Have a Heart Charity Christmas Sale 2020

Sunday 6th December, 10am-4pm

Old Farm Barn, Stovolds Hill, Cranleigh, Surrey, GU6 8LE

Helen and Peter McNiven's barn sales have raised huge amounts for good causes over the past three decades. Eighty-five charities have directly benefited with last year's sale alone raising £14,000 for those in need! This Sunday marks their 30th Christmas Sale and due to current events, support is needed more than ever. 

Helen's best known for her wonderful driftwood angels (see pictured) that are such a beautiful symbol of her generosity, and there will also be other work, including ceramics on display. All proceeds go directly to charity. 

If you are unable to visit the exhibition on Sunday 6th then appointments can be made on the 11th, 12th and 13th December 10am - 4pm, please email haveaheartchristmassale@gmail.com. 

Due to compliance with health guidelines, Sunday's sale will take place mainly outside with controlled access to indoor spaces. Masks must be worn, and social-distancing observed.

As the McNivens prepare for Sunday’s sale, we took a few minutes of Helen’s time to pop her some questions and learn a little more about the stories behind her driftwood angels.

Helen, tell us a little bit about your artistic background?

I have a degree in fashion design, and taught art for 20 years, firstly in Esher and then at Cranleigh Prep School. I mostly make driftwood Angels, but I also make ceramics, and when I can, I paint in oils. 

Proceeds from your barn sale go to the Have a Heart charity - what does it do? 

It all began with the first Blue Peter Bring and Buy Sale, and we raised £75. 

Thirty years on, last year, we raised over £14 000 and currently have a list of about 85 charities we support.

Your Angels are lovely, what's the backstory to them?

We had been in Tuscany on the proceeds from the publishing of 4 art books for children. In the tiny village churches, I absolutely loved the crucifixions and nativity figures, clearly made by the local carpenters who also made the pews, doors etc. On our return we were at the beach on the South coast when I found a driftwood 'Angel's head' amongst the shingle, further along the beach a wing - suddenly it all came together! I made the first Angel 26 years ago and have made hundreds since.

Where do you source your driftwood?

I love beaches, either on the South coast or in Brittany, where much of the wood comes from, but I love to gather driftwood anywhere.

Where can people see your work, purchase it, or donate directly to your charity?

At our Christmas Sale, on my Instagram @haveahearthelen, or by appointment.

Jan Erika Design

Local inspiration - Jan Erika

November 6, 2020

Local Inspiration

As we enter a second lockdown, it is important that we show our support for local businesses who have been forced to cease trading. It's the small local businesses, the pubs, restaurants and the independents, that add character to our towns and who need our support now more than ever before.

Over the following months, we're going to be showcasing some of the fantastic local businesses that call Surrey home, and we hope you will lend them your support. 

 

Jan Erika Design

A former professional cellist, Jan Erika changed careers to become an artist and now creates bespoke multi-media artworks from Tannery Studios on the outskirts of Ripley.

Creatives are often noted for having more than one string to their bow but for Jan Erika the meaning of that phrase is quite literal.

Jan originally trained as a classical cellist, but after hanging up her cello bow to have children, she decided to follow a different creative path.

Proving that art isn’t just about that which can be hung on the wall, she is now stamping her mark on pretty much any surface you can think of.

From huge murals to gin bottles, jackets, tabletops and rugs – there’s not much this Surrey artist won’t work with.

Music is still a major form of inspiration for Jan, who has worked with the likes of Paul Weller, and she’ll usually crank up the music when she’s painting. We chatted to her to find out more…

G: How did you become an artist? 

J: I did art at A-Level and got into Art School but decided to do a degree in classical music so until two years ago, I’d not painted in 20 years! At 38 and after having my two boys, I started painting again and realised that was my true calling.

G: You’re based in Ripley – what is your studio like?

J: Tannery Studios is a gorgeous brand-new development right on the canal. It’s a lovely bright workspace with views of the canal behind me. I’m one of several studios there and have just done a spectacular 50ft mural on one of the huge walls in my signature style based on the canal and village life in Ripley.

G: Where do you find inspiration?

J: From what’s around me really and music. I might play the same song 35 times over when I’m painting a particular piece as that song will get me in a certain mood or will make me think about a certain thing. Whether I’m painting a floral piece or an abstract piece, the song will trigger a mood and I’ll paint to it.

G: Tell us a bit about your collaborations.

J: Locally, I have a collaboration with The Gin Kitchen in Dorking where we work on the shop floor in Fortnum & Mason and I paint bespoke art requests onto their gin bottles. I do a few pre-painted to sell but the rest are done on the day. Stephenson Wright is another local company I’ve partnered with – my first collaboration actually – painting tabletops and stools for their interior design showroom in East Horsley.

I also have a range of hand-painted water bottles online with English Heritage, which are based on the gardens at Wrest Park in Bedfordshire.

Further afield I’ve painted a range of tableware for US company Juliska and I’m also launching a range of rugs with Matthew Wailes, a luxury rug producer based in Chelsea, on November 1. There will be five of my creations in the collection.

G: Do you have any favourite projects/collaborations you’ve worked on? 

J: I loved working in the USA with Juliska and my most recent work in Tannery Studios was definitely the most satisfying.

G: Why is art so important in the home?

J: Art is really key to a home. It can bring joy, colour, warmth, character, it can set a certain mood. Remember art doesn’t have to just be something you hang on a wall, as many of the projects I work on prove, it can be implemented into many aspects of your life.

G: What are your favourite places in Surrey to relax and or gain inspiration?

J: In Surrey, we're massively spoilt by fantastic places to walk, breathe and be inspired. St Martha's, Newlands Corner and Leith Hill are amongst my favourites.

G: What other local businesses do you love? 

J: Apart from the incredible Tannery Studios l really admire the love and atmosphere at Nest Café in Ripley and the work of my talented interior design friends Stephenson Wright, who have a studio at The Old Post Office in East Horsley.

Where you'll find Jan Erika

Tannery Studios, Tannery Lane,
Send, Woking GU23 7EF.

Brighter than you might think, the property market in Surrey.

david-williams-property-market

October 6, 2020

Brighter than you might think, the property market in Surrey.

David Williams, Director at Grantley Estate Agents in Guildford, answers questions about the property market in Surrey; the outlook is brighter than you might think.

How has lockdown affected people's buying habits? The need for space, a good garden and a spare room or garden cabin to use as a home office are definitely at the top of a buyer's list of requirements. The country market is probably the strongest it has been in terms of activity for at least the last ten years – we are almost back to the same level of activity as prior to the financial crisis. 

This surge is driven predominantly by people recognising that, as they spend more time in their family homes and in some instances with several generations returning to the family homestead, whether that's working from home or general day-to-day, they need more space – both inside and out.

What does that mean for the local property market?  There has been an influx of people who live in Guildford Town Centre looking to move out to the surrounding villages. Furthermore, as working habits change and commuting is no longer as necessary as it was due to the evolvement of video conferencing systems and more adaptable home working setups, we are seeing a huge surge in families from London looking for that country retreat. We have seen a 40-45% increase in enquiries from London buyers compared with this time last year. 

There has been a considerable amount of pent up frustration over the past three years, mainly down to political uncertainty and Brexit indecision causing a loss of confidence that was felt across the property markets. Many people have been sitting in rented accommodation, waiting for the market to settle and an increase in suitable housing stock. Due in part to the pandemic, those families have now decided that if they are going to move, then it should be for a better quality of life and with a renewed sense of urgency.

Why is now such a good time to sell?  We have seen buyer demand rise by 34% from January this year to now, compared with the same period in 2019. Furthermore, it currently takes 31% less time to sell a house than it did pre-lockdown*. Demand continues to outstrip supply meaning now is an excellent opportunity to capitalise on that to achieve the best price, before the full impact of the pandemic comes to the fore, which could see an adjustment in prices and activity levels.

Why use Grantley?  We are specialists in the country market – from listed buildings and period, country cottages to properties with equestrian facilities and large country estates; we offer a completely tailored approach. Each and every property we market is carefully staged before our lifestyle photography team go in, each brochure is built specifically to the house as are the targeted social media campaigns. We believe that every property is unique and as such demands a tailored marketing approach rather than a standard template that you are expected to fit within. We are trusted property advisors, and regularly work with other agents to source properties in a buying agent capacity. As we are also a large property management company, we have access to a range of trades and services meaning we can help prepare your home ready for market or attend to any maintenance jobs you require before survey. 

Grantley's services include residential sales and lettings, property management, land and new homes. If you're looking to sell your home or just need some advice, please contact David Williams on 01483 407620 or email david.williams@grantley.net.

Surrey’s Best Independent Schools

longacre-school

November 15, 2019

Surrey's Best Independent Schools

There are many aspects of the Surrey Hills that draw young families to it. Having the convenience of London being at arm's reach whilst still having the luxury of easy countryside access is a rare offering in the housing market and a big sell.

However, there is another major perk that Surrey has going for it; it has some of the very best schools in the country. In fact, three of the top-performing schools in the UK are found in the self-styled home-counties capital of Guildford itself. The Telegraph's Top 100 UK private schools list last year ranked Guildford High School for Girls second; the Royal Grammar School (33rd) and St Catherine's (24th).

When considering where in the UK to call home, it is best to keep your child’s schooling in mind in order to give them the very best start in life. Understandably living near a decent school also only helps to improve the property value. Of course, every child needs something different from their education; however, we've drawn up a list of some great recommendations for independent schools in the Surrey area. We recommend researching all the various options in detail, attending an open day and starting the entry process as early as possible - competition remains fierce for the limited places available at the more prestigious schools.

Guildford High School for Girls
Frequently appears in the list of top ten performing independent schools in the UK and is a lovely day school near the centre of Guildford town. If your focus is on academics, then this is the school for you.
Type: Day / Girls

Royal Grammar School, Guildford
A high-performing option for boys. Found right in the centre of Guildford town and heavily integrated with the town's culture.
Type: Day / Boys

St Catherine's School, Bramley
St Catherine's is a village-based school with a strong focus on academic achievement and ties to the Church of England.
Type: Boarding / Day / Girls

Charterhouse School
This is Surrey's famous public school with a long history and extensive alumni. From next year they will be taking girls from the age of 13.
Type: Boarding / Day / Co-educational 

St John's Leatherhead
Not as academically focused like the other schools on this list but still a respectable establishment for those who enjoy extra-curricular activities.
Type: Day / Boarding / Co-educational

The Royal School
Situated in Haslemere and ranking in the Top 100. It has a strong Christian foundation and became a diamond school in 2011.
Type: Boarding / Day / Co-educational

Cranleigh School
The Good Schools Guide describes Cranleigh as the “ideal for the sporty, energetic, sociable, independent and lovely child.”
Type: Boarding / Day / Co-educational

Hurtwood House
Entrance only from ages 15. Known more for its broad range of extra-curricular activities than it’s academic prowess.
Type: Boarding / Day / Co-educational

Duke of Kent
The Duke of Kent school is based in a gorgeous listed building in Ewhurst and is small in pupil size.
Type: Day / Co-educational

King Edwards, Witley
Has a reputation for a focus on sports and is known for encouraging its pupils to think independently.
Type: Boarding / Day / Co-educational

Prior’s field
A renowned feeder school for Russell Group universities and one of the more expensive schools in the area. Does offer generous scholarships.
Type: Boarding / Day / Girls

Tormead
Cited in the Sunday Times as a reason to live in Guildford and rumoured to have a friendly rivalry with Guildford High School.
Type: Day / Girls

For those readers with younger children who want to provide them with the very best start to their schooling years, then The Grantley Group recommends:

Longacre School
Family orientated with a focus on happiness at the core of its philosophy. Located in Shamley Green and welcomes parental interaction.  Type: Day / Boys / Girls 

Aldro School
Feeder school for Charterhouse and other public schools, very academic but with excellent extra-curricular activities on offer. Based in the charming village of Shackleford, near Godalming.
Type: Boarding / Day / Boys

If you’re looking to move home to make the school application process a little easier, you can view our properties for sale and let close to excellent schools in Guildford and other areas of Surrey here, or you can contact us here.

Selling your home with The Grantley Group – Lydia’s story

lydia-story

October 17, 2019

Selling your home with The Grantley Group – Lydia’s story

The Grantley Group was recently instructed to sell the beautiful family home of Lydia and her family in Guildford and she was happy to share her positive experience with us.

Lydia and her family had lived happily in their Guildford home for almost nine years but with three young children growing up fast and Lydia now running a small business from home, they had outgrown the property.

Following an initial visit from group director, David Williams, Lydia chose to instruct Grantley because of the team’s discretion, professional yet personable approach and impressive knowledge of the area.

“It really appealed to me that David could discretely market the house before it went to the open market and he also ensured me that there wouldn’t be a board outside the house,” she says.

“He was able to tell me about properties that came to the market before I necessarily found them online and that’s because he has really good working relationships with other estate agents in the area.”

It was important to Lydia that the essence of her family home was brought to life in the marketing material produced and The Grantley Group were more than happy to oblige.

“The attention to detail was amazing; David managed to move everything out of the way, like the kids toys, all the paraphernalia, the chaos you get with every day family life and I was really impressed when the final photographs came through,” Lydia adds. “David really staged the house to capture its true character.”

Whether you would like to discreetly market your property, like Lydia, or are looking for maximum market exposure, The Grantley Group’s inimitable approach to selling is to provide a service that perfectly matches your needs.

With more than 40 years sales experience, we know the strengths and weaknesses within the market place and offer a distinctly different approach to selling.

Rather than simply using web portals, which are fast becoming a replacement for proactivity, interaction and personal contact, we use a range of marketing tools that best suit your needs and will present your home in the most effective way.

Furthermore, our highly experienced staff offer expert advice to ensure that you can make well­-informed decisions regarding the impending sale of your property.

Lydia has now moved into her new home – check out and like our Facebook page soon to see how she is settling in and to view more of our client experience videos.

If you would like to share your own experience of selling your home with us, contact David today: david.williams@grantley.net.

Staying Connected at the Longacre Summer Ball

longacre-school

July 26, 2019

Staying Connected at the Longacre Summer Ball

We live in a digital world. Where we used to send a postcard home when we were on holiday or send a letter to update our friends on our news, we’re now posting, Tweeting, scrolling, sharing and streaming at home and at work. Email is convenient and quick, but no matter how well-written it can lack the personality and care that comes with a hand-written note or a real live meet-up.

At Grantley, we still believe in the power of truly personal communication, not least within the communities in which we live and offer our services. Over the years, we’ve met many families and individuals in Guildford and its surrounding villages.

One of our favourite and longest-standing partnerships is with Longacre School and this week, we attended the annual summer ball, organised by the school’s PTA, on the hottest day of 2019 so far. The theme this time was ‘festival’ which meant a dress code of dinner suits, cocktail dresses or shorts and sunhats! 150 guests gathered at the marquee for speeches, auctions and a fabulous six-piece funk and soul band, as well as champagne and beer served at the Grantley drinks tent. A grand total of approximately £17,000 was raised for the school’s chosen charity, Peterson’s Fund for Children.

We love being a part of the extended Longacre family and to staying connected with so many of our clients – past and present – at these events. With more fundraising fun in the pipeline for Halloween and Christmas this year, we very much look forward to meeting more of the community in 2019, even without sending an email!

David Williams, Director
