Veere Grenney welcomes us into his Palladian folly located near Stoke-by-Nayland on the borders of Suffolk and Essex. Built by Sir Robert Taylor in the 1760s, the Temple of the Four Seasons, as it is formally known, is surrounded by pendulous greenery and a vast canal extending some two-hundred yards from the facade.

As we tour the interior, it is hard not to appreciate the symmetry and proportions of this expertly staged building — from the drawing room overlooking the central canal to the oeil-de-boeuf window in the kitchen. A labour of love, the Temple is Veere Grenney’s personal sanctuary: ‘There wouldn’t be ever a moment where I just don’t love it… To live with this view and in this place, that appears to be untouched by the rest of the world, is pretty rare.’ Watch the full episode of ‘Design Notes’ as we tour Veere Grenney’s secluded Palladian folly in Suffolk.
