Easton Neston house in Northamptonshire is a major work by Nicholas Hawksmoor, flanked by a service range (originally one of two) by Sir Christopher Wren (or possibly Talman). The house was sold by the Fermor Hesketh family in 2005, and a substantially phased project to repair and redecorate the house and restore the outbuilding, has followed for the new owner. On the main house, the Hawksmoor basements have been cleared of services and the original vaulted kitchen restored as a magnificient interior. At the ground floor level, 1920?s lavatories and cloakrooms have been cleared to reinstate the historic connection to the former service range. The roofs have been carefully repaired, joinery and panelling restored and the house redecorated to the specifications of Henrietta Spencer Churchill.
