Country House : Private residence Quality was key in the upgrade of this mansion. From the dramatic, and correctly proportioned, solid Portland stone new entrance portico to the crisply modern architecture of the subterranean pool and spa, all is finely detailed and finished. The entrance hall and kitchen were enlarged, and ground floor rooms reorganised into a private suite and a range of reception and service facilities. The upper floors are a series of guest and master suites, two centred on new private roof terraces. The quality of the finishes, including Pietra Cardosa stone and walnut joinery, is consistent throughout.
