NOTEBOOK

A round-up of the latest property news,

from the city to the countryside

BY ROSEMARY BROOKE

AN ICON REBORN

Designed by the leading Georgian architect John Nash, Regent’s

Crescent is a Grade I-listed terrace at the edge of Regent’s Park,

which has been completely rebuilt in an extraordinary renovation

project. With the first residents moving in this month, the 67

apartments and nine townhouses will be maintained by Rhodium

Residence Management, which will also oversee the extensive

entertainment, spa and business facilities of this unique space.

OWN A TUDOR ROSE

Tucked away in the picturesque hamlet of Ruscombe in Berkshire,

this Grade II-listed manor house dates back to the Tudor period

and is full of character and charm. There are timber beams, a

traditional galleried hall and huge open fireplaces, and it’s been

sympathetically extended and restored to create a comfortable

family home. Outside, there are 10 acres of parkland and mature

gardens with views across the surrounding countryside.

NEW HOMES ON THE RIVER

The pretty riverside town of Staines-upon-Thames has plenty to

recommend it, not least its excellent transport links – it’s a 35-minute

commute to London Waterloo and a 15-minute drive to Heathrow

Airport. The award-winning developer London Square has transformed

the town centre with a major new building project that includes a piazza

with shops, offices and private apartments. Each of the apartments has

its own outside space, and residents can make use of a 24-hour concierge

and on-site gym. From £399,950.

WONDERS FOR WALLS

For over 30 years, the Irish artist

Lucy Doyle has been creating

vibrant still lifes and figurative

paintings from her studio in

Wicklow. She’s known for her

expressive use of colour and

textural canvases, and her work

can be found in public and

private collections around the

world. Her paintings are now

available to buy in the UK, via

the Art Salon in Bath, where you

can see a selection of pieces by

this wonderfully unique artist.
