Garnhill House
[edit]Situated in the hamlet of St Andrews Major, the house is accessed by a long drive set in listed gardens. The Grade II listed building[1]designed by Coates Carter, occupies an elevated position on a gently sloping hillside.
History
[edit]Plans of the house were published in the late 19th century, drawings of the garden elevation were displayed at the Royal Academy in 1904. Plans to extend the house were carried out in c.1923, [2] plans included an additional bedroom and en-suite bathroom, accessed via a separate staircase, built with stone from a quarry on the estate. The house was purchased by the current occupants, the Green family, in 1912.
Style
