It saw the reinstatement of the glazed, opening roof, large windows remade in wood to the original pattern, strengthened by the addition of stainless steel and underfloor heating, a ground source heat pump and rainwater harvesting were also introduced.

The Georgian Group is a charity which works to conserve historic buildings and planned landscapes.
