  • Step inside the West Sussex home of of presenter, author and former TV style advisor Susannah Constantine. From her cosy drawing room filled with nods to her childhood home, to her her beloved kitchen, Susannah gives Good Housekeeping a tour uncovering all her favourite items (and the pile of clothes on her unmade bed, too!).
    Susannah also shows us her bathroom (the room she calls "the most interior designed"), and there's even her former colleague and long-time friend Trinny Woodall's skincare range within arm's reach of her evening routine. Watch the video to see which other household treasures Susannah shares in her tour.

    I think this is the first home EVER that’s been shown like this that looks legit. People actually live here & she didnt do a makeover before they arrived. It had a lovely lived in vibe. Gorgeous views

    Susannah, I used to watch you and Trinny Woodall and loved that show. I think I felt a bit more of an affinity to you in that show. I love the way to communicate to all of us, so naturally and the honesty you show. I grew up in Canada but was born in Rutland; a triplet and we were the youngest of eight. My biological father left us when we were around three or four because he could not handle it. I was separated from them all when I was almost seven and taken to Canada to live. Agreeably, there are things in life that happen to us and it can affect the way you think or the things you do. I never resented my mother for giving me up or was angry, you understand the circumstances. I admire your honesty regarding being a recovering alcoholic. Thank you for sharing your home and a small part of your life with us. You are amazing!

Not an ounce of artifice, love that the husbands clothes were draped across the bed, a slice of real life. A very real snack food list too, I laughed aloud at 'maltesers'

Wow, what a real woman - talking about her mother’s mental illness, and allusions to her own alcoholism. Who can’t relate to life being less than perfect? Best of all was the tour of the bedroom, including damp on the wall, her husband’s clothes and flies. I love you now.

      The fact that you took care of your mother until she dies, regardless of the truly appalling things she said to you, means you are a beautiful, forgiving human being. Your mother - sadly - was not. There may have been reasons for the way she was and the abuse she dished out to you. It doesn't matter now, let it go. You've proved yourself to be a wonderful, caring person Carolyn. Chin up now, be proud, live the rest of your life knowing that you are a treasure amongst women.🤗
