The restoration of this beautiful Grade II listed property has been a labour of love. My vision was to restore it to its former glory; remain faithful to its Classical, Arts and rafts and Scottish Baronial architecture and retain the ornate, period details that make the property so unique; but at the same time create a home that offers the ultimate in luxury living.

I commissioned a team of 120 builders and master craftsmen to bring this property back to life, ensuring the work remained sympathetic to the existing architecture whilst updating and modernising the interior.
The work included extending the rear of the building to increase the living space from 19,000 sq ft to 27,000 sq ft and installing a state-of-the-art home automation system throughout.
The result is Heath Hall, a residence like no other in London. Steeped in history and located in a street renowned for its high profile, it offers an exceptional and unrivalled place to live.

5. A TASTE OF THE PAST
Heath Hall formerly called East Weald was built in 1910 as the
London residence for William Park Lyle of the Tate & Lyle family.
It was designed and built by architects Henry Victor Ashley and
F. Winton Newman (who later made their name as competition
winners for monumental public buildings such as the The Grand
(Masonic) Lodge of England) and the designs drew on a combination
of Classical, Scottish Baronial and Arts and Crafts styles. The plans
were so impressive they were shown at the 1910 and 1911 Royal
Academy exhibitions.
The Edwardians were known for their affluent tastes and display
of wealth and East Weald embodied this with its 19,000sq ft of space
set behind an impressive ornate red brick, symmetrical frontage
with Baroque-style wrought iron gates and a Romanesque-inspired
arched entrance.
Located in The Bishops Avenue, East Weald was a fine example of
the grand British domestic architecture that sadly came to an abrupt
end with the outbreak of World War One. It wasn’t until the 1920s
that large-scale mansions were once again built in this street but
none that could rival the majestic appearance and attention to detail
of East Weald.
East Weald was not to remain in the Tate & Lyle family. It was later
used as a home for the blind and then in the 1950s it was purchased
by the Bank of China to house employees working in England and
it continued in this function for the next couple of decades before
becoming disused and falling into disrepair.
In 2001, East Weald was granted Grade II listing by English Heritage
but by this stage the property had sadly fallen into near ruin, with the
brickwork left to crumble plasterwork damaged and fireplaces and
tiles shattered.
In 2006 Andreas Panayiotou purchased East Weald, changing the
property’s name to Heath Hall and embarking on a journey to
restore the property to its former beauty.

6. ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS
East Weald is considered an excellent example of both Classical and
Arts and Crafts styles although neither is used in its purest form.
The Classical influences are more notable in the interior with its
focus on symmetry and elaborate cornices whereas the exterior
displays more references to the Arts and Crafts form with carved
stone embellishments and well-proportioned lines.
East Weald also displays some elements and forms of the Scottish
Baronial style, another architectural characteristic that was popular
during the Edwardian period. The uneven roof line, and individual
roofs over large bays are all indicative of this influence.
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the architecture and design,
which makes East Weald stand out from the other properties
in The Bishops Avenue is the recurring visual devices inherent
within the design.
The Arts and Crafts influence is shown in the abundance of
decorative adornments depicting an array of flora and fauna native to
the British Isles including holly, mistletoe, oak, rose, wheat, rabbits,
squirrels and so on, examples of which are found on the stone work,
lead panelling and rainwater hoppers on the exterior. They are also
found, to a lesser extent, inside on plasterwork on ceilings and on
relief panels above fireplaces.

7. THE DIAMOND MOTIF
A diamond motif is another key recurring theme in East Weald’s
architecture. The geometric pattern appears regularly, on brickwork
on chimney stacks, on decorative brick and tile panels, on brick
parapets and cornices and on the oak balustrade. The pattern is such
an integral architectural theme that the restoration process ensured
particular development and continuation of this design.
8 HEATH HALL
Heath Hall is a fine example of
Edwardian architecture drawing on
the Classical, Arts and Crafts and
Scottish Baronial styles. It includes

above fireplaces.

HEATH HALL 17
12. THE LIBRARY
The library has wall-to-wall custom built bookcases in European oak
and finished in burr oak veneer. The library opens onto the veranda
with its commanding view across the landscaped grounds.
The architects were keen to continue and develop the diamond
pattern that is so prevalent in the architecture and ensured that this
device was repeated in many of the new commissions.
