Perhaps its most striking feature is the hammerbeam ceiling in the Great Hall – thought to be the only one of its kind in a private British residence. When the couple set about having the ceiling restored,maillot psg 2012 ebay, the wood for the job was chosen carefully not to match the existing ceiling, so that – in accordance with English Heritage regulations – future generations will be able to tell which parts have been restored.
‘Someone else might want to use the Great Hall as their main living space but,mercurial victory iv turf, for us, it feels a little bit noble, almost like a church,kate spade handbags cheap,’ Stuart says. Instead, the couple hold concerts, meetings and large dinners there.
Sylvie adds: ‘Whitestaunton is not a museum,maglie da calcio personalizzate nike, it is a family house. And there is not a room that does not work. The house is so friendly – it has such good vibrations. We decided to buy it before we hit the front door. The gardens were so beautiful, the trees so amazing. We made an offer on it the day before it went on the market. The owner was in the gardens and we made an offer there and then.’

She is certainly right about the gardens,maillot de gardien de but bayern, which surround the house on three sides and are dominated by a variety of beech and willow trees. There are also Roman remains – this time of baths – in the grounds. These were uncovered by Channel 4’s Time Team in 2003.
Beyond the Roman ruins lies a Japanese garden,numeri delle maglie del napoli 2012, which was installed by the current owners. There is also a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi, a croquet lawn, a vegetable garden with a greenhouse, and an orchard with apple,nouveau maillot psg domicile 2012, apricot and pear trees.
Archaeological and historical research commissioned by the vendors during their ten years of structural and cosmetic refurbishment shows that the house lies directly over a Roman villa. And next to the property,wmns hypervenom phatal fg, which is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is the 13th Century St Nicholas Church.
The couple bought the property because they wanted to embark on a project together. ‘This was a larger project than we could ever have imagined,’ Stuart says. ‘We got stuck into it, though,authentic kate spade bags for sale philippines, and we camped in different bits of the house for eight years while it was being rebuilt. For two years, the house had the roof off with a big plastic box over the top of it. I was like a kid in a sandbox,adidas men's predator x ag football boot, it was absolutely great.’

Highlight: The imposing great hall at Whitestaunton Manor, with its carefully restored hammerbeam roof – thought to be the only one of its kind in a private British residence
He adds: ‘When we discovered the foundations of the Roman floor in the kitchen, that shut the room down for a year while an archaeological group from South Somerset Council came to look at it.’
The property also includes a lodge at the start of the drive, which has three bedrooms and a bathroom, sitting room,acheter le nouveau maillot du psg, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room,precio botas nike magista, utility room and cloakroom. 
There are also outbuildings constructed of stone from Whitestaunton Manor’s own quarry. They comprise six stables, two garages and a gardener’s WC, as well as a workshop.
The couple are selling up as they hope to retire to Paris together. Stuart says of Whitestaunton: ‘It will take the right kind of person to understand it.’
Edward Sugden, director of Savills’ country house department, says: ‘When one arrives at Whitestaunton one is not only struck by the presence of the manor house but the serenity of the setting, with its beautiful lake and stunning mature beech trees. The gardens and land are particularly special.’
