Attraction in Isleworth
In 1761 the founders of Child's Bank commissioned Robert Adam to transform a crumbling Tudor mansion into an elegant neo-classical villa. This was their house in the country, created for entertainment and to impress friends and business associates. Today the spectacular interiors contain one of Britain's most complete examples of Adam's work and include exceptional plasterwork, carpets and furniture. The magnificent 16th century stables survive largely intact and are still in use. The house is set in extensive park and farm land, complete with pleasure grounds, ornamental lakes and classical garden buildings.
