Conservation specialists St Blaise have come to the end of nearly a year’s work restoring the historic Grade I Elizabethan mansion of Grove Place, in Romsey, Hampshire, with its two distinctive round towers and russet red brickwork with Portland and Bath stone detailing and garden ornamentation. Royal hunting parties were once lavishly entertained there.

St Blaise, part of the Stone-west Group, were commissioned by luxury retirement specialists Renaissance Lifecare and principal contractors Warings to return the property to its former Elizabethan grandeur so that it could be used as a clubhouse in a retirement development for those who want to live out their lives in a manner fit for royalty.
