artwork, so the scheme reflects this.<\/p>\n<p>The colour palette, window treatments and new furniture are largely contemporary in style, but a high-quality and restrained approach to design means the

flatter as well as any Georgian hostess.<\/p>\n<p>Now a happy family home, this unique restoration of an historically important, listed home is a masterclass.<\/p>\n<p>The research done by Rhodes and
