Re-modelling of an Essex House

Both the exterior and the interior of  a simple Victorian house were remodelled in Palladian style, with new parapets and stucco work in quoins and window surrounds. A port cochere, study, and orangery were added, as well as staff accommodation in the manner of a red brick stable block with service yard. A lake and ha-ha have also been constructed. The interior environment within the orangery is fully computer controlled. A plasterers award was given for the elaborate interior cornices and columns, and the exterior stucco detailing. [1]
