Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of a Country House During the course of a somewhat lengthy professional career, I have met with a number of people contemplating building a House, who have not sufficiently considered the numerous points - in fact, the "Essentials" that must be thought of before any satisfactory scheme can be evolved. It is not surprising that these "Essentials" are not all borne in mind, because they are of a very varied nature, but the consideration of them is most important. I believe that my experience in this respect is by no means unique, and it has therefore occurred to me that a small volume dealing concisely, and in a simple way, with these "Essentials" should be very useful to the growing number of people wishing to have a "Home of their own," and also to their professional advisers, who would be able to place this book before their clients, and, at the same time, have these indispensable points for consideration "focussed" for their own guidance. For the purpose of illustrating my remarks, it has seemed to me that I could not do better than refer to Plans and Photographs of Houses, which have been erected from my own designs and under my supervision. I have therefore carefully selected from these executed Works those which seemed most suitable for this purpose, the costs of which Houses range from 1,250 to 4,600, and many of which illustrate photographs of designs published in my books "Bungalows and Country Residences" and "Homes for the Country."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Country House The year was 1891, the month October, the day Monday. In the dark outside the railway-station at Worsted Skeynes Mr. Horace Pendyce's omnibus, his brougham, his luggage-cart, monopolized space. The face of Mr. Horace Pendyce's coachman monopolized the light of the solitary station lantern. Rosy-gilled, with fat close-clipped grey whiskers and inscrutably pursed lips, it presided high up in the easterly air like an emblem of the feudal system. On the platform within, Mr. Horace Pendyce's first footman and second groom in long livery coats with silver buttons, their appearance slightly relieved by the rakish cock of their top-hats, awaited the arrival of the six-fifteen. The first footman took from his pocket a half-sheet of stamped and crested notepaper covered with Mr. Horace Pendyce's small and precise calligraphy. He read from it in a nasal, derisive voice: "Hon. Geoff, and Mrs. Winlow, blue room and dress; maid, small drab. Mr. George, white room. Mrs. Jaspar Bellew, gold. The Captain, red. General Pendyce, pink room; valet, back attic. That's the lot."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating story of the evolution of the country house in Britain, from its Roman precursors to the present The Story of the Country House is an authoritative and vivid account of the British country house, exploring how they have evolved with the changing political and economic landscape. Clive Aslet reveals the captivating stories behind individual houses, their architects, and occupants, and paints a vivid picture of the wider context in which the country house in Britain flourished and subsequently fell into decline before enjoying a renaissance in the twenty-first century. The genesis, style, and purpose of architectural masterpieces such as Hardwick Hall, Hatfield House, and Chatsworth are explored, alongside the numerous country houses lost to war and economic decline. We also meet a cavalcade of characters, owners with all their dynastic obsessions and diverse sources of wealth, and architects such as Inigo Jones, Sir John Vanbrugh, Robert Adam, Sir John Soane and A.W.N. Pugin, who dazzled or in some cases outraged their contemporaries. The Story of the Country House takes a fresh look at this enduringly popular building type, exploring why it continues to hold such fascination for us today.

Download or read book Small Country Houses written by Lawrence Weaver and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Small Country Houses: Their Repair and Enlargement; Forty Examples Chosen From Five Centuries The welcome given to Small Country Houses: Their Repair and Enlargement. ix. Preface. The welcome given to Small Country Houses of To-day would seem, if I may believe my correspondents, to have been due in no small measure to the seven chapters (out of forty-eight) which described old houses repaired and enlarged. This suggested that a second and uniform volume, dealing wholly with the treatment of old houses, whether cottage or farm house or small manor house, would be useful to the increasing number of people who like the atmosphere of age in their homes. A real responsibility rests on those who under take the alteration of an old fabric, for our buildings are an essential part of our national history. This is no less true of the cottage than of the palace. Our building traditions are as much, indeed more, a heritage from forgotten craftsmen, as from William of Wykeham, Master Yevele at Westminster and John of Gloucester, who was Kings Mason at Windsor. Of such nameless folk we may use Solomon's words, with but a single change: . a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom built the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. To those who appreciate all the skill and subtlety of touch which were the outcome of the wisdom of old builders, this record of the treatment of their handiwork is dedicated. I have to acknowledge the kindness of Mr. Basil Oliver, who has lent me the photographs for Figs. I, V, VI, and the plan in Fig.47;of Mr. Batsford, for his permission to reproduce that plan from Mr. Oliver's Old Houses and Village Buildings in East Anglia; and of Mr. H. Avray Tipping, for allowing me to incorporate the substance of two articles by him in Chapters VIII and XXVI.
