Structure

The house is entered from a large curved collonaded “loggia” – verandah space into a double volume reception room/hall which is lit from above by stained glass windows. This space forms the ‘hub’ of the house off which the rooms are accessed. The ground floor of the house consisted of a series of formal rooms; the morning room, drawing room, library, dining room and billiard room serviced by the kitchen and scullery to the back of the house. The ground floor rooms are all wood-panelled with pressed board ceilings, decorative mouldings and feature fireplaces.
