HEATH HALL 1

he restoration of this beautiful Grade II listed property has

been a labour of love. My vision was to restore it to its former

glory; remain faithful to its Classical, Arts and Crafts and

Scottish Baronial architecture and retain the ornate, period

details that make the property so unique; but at the same time create

a home that offers the ultimate in luxury living.

I commissioned a team of 120 builders and master craftsmen to bring this

property back to life, ensuring the work remained sympathetic to the

existing architecture whilst updating and modernising the interior.The work included extending the rear of the building to increase the living

space from 19,000 sq ft to 27,000 sq ft and installing a state-of-the-art home

automation system throughout.

The result is Heath Hall, a residence like no other in London. Steeped

in history and located in a street renowned for its high profile, it offers

an exceptional and unrivalled place to live.

A TASTE OF THE PAST

Heath Hall formerly called East Weald was built in 1910 as the

London residence for William Park Lyle of the Tate & Lyle family.

It was designed and built by architects Henry Victor Ashley and

F. Winton Newman (who later made their name as competition

winners for monumental public buildings such as the The Grand

(Masonic) Lodge of England) and the designs drew on a combination

of Classical, Scottish Baronial and Arts and Crafts styles. The plans

were so impre ssive they were shown at the 1910 and 1911 Royal

Academy exhibitions.

The Edwardians were known for their affluent tastes and display

of wealth, and East Weald embodied this with its 19,000 sq ft of space

set behind an impressive ornate red brick, symmetrical frontage

with Baroque-style wrought iron gates and a Romanesque-inspired

arched entrance.

Located in The Bishops Avenue, East Weald was a fine example of

the grand British domestic architecture that sadly came to an abrupt

end with the outbreak of World War One. It wasnt until the 1920s

that large-scale mansions were once again built in this street but

none that could rival the majestic appearance and attention to detail

of East Weald.

East Weald was not to remain in the Tate & Lyle family. It was later

used as a home for the blind and then in the 1950s it was purchased

by the Bank of China to house employees working in England and

it continued in this function for the next couple of decades before

becoming disused and falling into disrepair.

In 2001, East Weald was granted Grade II listing by English Heritage

but by this stage the property had sadly fallen into near ruin, with the

brickwork left to crumble, plasterwork damaged and fireplaces and

tiles shattered.

In 2006 Andreas Panayiotou purchased East Weald, changing the

propertys name to Heath Hall and embarking on a journey to

restore the property to its former beauty.

ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS

East Weald is considered an excellent example of both Classical and

Arts and Crafts styles although neither is used in its purest form.

The Classical influences are more notable in the interior with its

focus on symmetry and elaborate cornices, whereas the exterior

displays more references to the Arts and Crafts form with carved

stone embellishments and well-proportioned lines.

East Weald also displays some elements and forms of the Scottish

Baronial style, another architectural characteristic that was popular

during the Edwardian period. The uneven roof line, and individual

roofs over large bays are all indicative of this influence.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the architecture and design,

which makes East Weald stand out from the other properties

in The Bishops Avenue, is the recurring visual devices inherent

within the design.

The Arts and Crafts influence is shown in the abundance of

decorative adornments depicting an array of flora and fauna native to

the British Isles including holly, mistletoe, oak, rose, wheat, rabbits,

squirrels and so on, examples of which are found on the stone work,

lead panelling and rainwater hoppers on the exterior. They are also

found, to a lesser extent, inside on plasterwork on ceilings and on

relief panels above fireplaces.

THE DIAMOND MOTIF

A diamond motif is another key recurring theme in East Wealds

architecture. The geometric pattern appears regularly, on brickwork

on chimney stacks, on decorative brick and tile panels, on brick

parapets and cornices and on the oak balustrade. The pattern is such

an integral architectural theme that the restoration process ensured

particular development and continuation of this design.


11/56

Heath Hall is a fine example of

Edwardian architecture drawing on

the Classical, Arts and Crafts and

Scottish Baronial styles. It includes

many ornate features such as

decorative stone carvings and cutand projecting brickwork.

THE LIVING AREAS

There are six main living areas within Heath Hall, all offering

Luxurious white-gold leaf has been used to highlight features

The diamond pattern is a key feature in the interior and is

used extensively on wooden panelling and on the plasterwork

above fireplaces.

THE LIBRARY

The library has wall-to-wall custom built bookcases in European

oak with burr oak veneer panels with wenge detailing. The library

opens onto the south veranda with its commanding view across

the landscaped grounds.

The architects were keen to continue and develop the diamondpattern that is so prevalent in the architecture and ensured that

this device was repeated in many of the new commissions.

The symmetry of the building is a key feature of the Classical style and

has been reflected in much of the interior design.

The bathrooms all differ in design and are built from a variety of

polished marbles. The focal point of the main bathroom is the large oval

bath made from a single block of magenta veined Milas Lilac marble.
