Templeton House’s escape from demolition and oblivion to become an incredible rarity: a country estate within the M25

Templeton House, a Georgian residence in London, defied the odds of demolition during the 1930s, surviving significant urban development. Originally part of a deer park created by Sir Richard Weston, the property evolved through various owners and transformations, including periods of institutional use and later, extensive restoration. Purchased in 2009 by David and Laura Rich-Jones, the house was meticulously restored to merge its historic elements with modern family needs. The renovation, guided by specialists and informed by the building's history, preserved original features while updating the interiors and landscape. This sensitive approach demonstrates how historical preservation and contemporary living can harmoniously coexist.
