This important Palladian revival house of 1710, featured in Colen Campbell’s Vitruvius Britanicus, had declined into a state of decrepitude at the time of its purchase by the present owner. Over a passage of five years, with enormous and painstaking care and the support of an enlightened client, Peregrine Bryant gently restored the house to its true glory. The firm also discreetly modernised Wilbury Park, the overall winner of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors’ Building Conservation Award in 2006.
