Phase 1 & 2: Obtain consents for alterations to historic core of main house with new underfloor heating to the entrance hall, various internal and external alterations and recasting of two service wings incorporating staff, kitchen, storage accommodation and  rear yard to form a grand formal vista through the house linking the main stair hall through the  kitchen and dining area punching through the rear service wing to complete the vista through to the garden and swimming pool beyond.

Phase 3:  Alterations to the coach house  to provide garaging & garden equipment storage and a very posh loft for the resident white doves who currently inhabit a large open barn.  A Roman Road runs across the main entrance to the property which triggered archaeological conditions involving preparation of special reports and survey material with close liaison with the County Archaeologist (ESCC) and appointment of specialist archaeological consultants to give an archaeological watching brief to monitor the excavation and ground works and agree the recording of any finds.
