It is built in the Empire style and the building’s fabric and furnishings are of national importance. The works to the Residence and Gatehouses is to replace the electrical distribution and small power services throughout including replacing distribution boards and fire alarm system replacement, these works will require specialist care to protect fine interiors during the project execution.
