Shabby, Country & Historical


Chloe Cyphus’ home, situated in part of a former Victorian nunnery.
Location:Warminster, Wiltshire UK

Photographer:Nick Carter

Chloe lives in part of a former Victorian nunnery, in the Wiltshire town of Warminster. The building is thought to be on the site of a former manor house which was rebuilt in 1771 and later in 1891, in local stone. In 1906 the property was leased to the sisters of the Ursuline order who had fled persecution in France, and converted into houses in the 1980s.
Living above the shop is one thing; living inside it is completely another. But four times a year that’s effectively what Chloe Cyphus’ home becomes -- a showcase for the painted French and Swedish furniture, unusual accessories and delicate, vintage textiles she sells through invitation-only sales held at the property.
