Design & Development Comment

While beautifully preserved, this villa offers scope for sensitive modernisation, particularly to create a contemporary chef’s kitchen, reimagine the leisure level as a spa-wellness retreat, or enhance the gardens for outdoor entertaining. Original period detailing provides an elegant foundation for interior reconfiguration, while the size and scale of the property allow for bespoke lifestyle additions such as a gym, library, or art gallery.
