Datchet, Berkshire

Design, restoration and preparation of a 25 year management plan for an Historically significant manor house set within 200 acres of parkland. The site had fallen into complete disrepair before the works were commissioned by a large software firm. The manor is situated on a moated island within Capability Brown parkland landscape.
