Inside Veere Grenney's 18th-Century Palladian Folly | Design Notes
Ойын-сауық
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.

Absolutely !
This man must be the most cultured, refined ex-hippie who ever lived. With an exquisite eye and sensibility and an understanding of tasteful restraint. This all seems like something from another time, inviolate and untouched. I especially love the view and vanishing point down the canal with the hedges flanking.

I absolutely agree!
If I died right now, I'd want to come back as a ghost and live there. Not to haunt it, I wouldn't want to disturb Veere, but just to luxuriate in the beauty and serenity he's created. This was therapeutic to watch, thanks so much.
What a beautiful home & grounds. A designer with such a keen eye and presence, lovely!🏆
Superb inside and out, and yet another reason to applaud David Hicks for ensuring its survival.
what a special place! and what a wonderful eye he has !
Such a joy! Absolutely sublime! And what a man! You just want to invite him to dinner!
What a wonderful home and a wonderful designer....I could listen to him talk for hours. Thank him for us!
It is lovely. Colors are creamy and gorgeous. Upholstery beautiful. Molding, ceiling, busts, speaks volumes. Manicured shrubs, and private gardens, such a delight!
Deeply moving. The slowless and gratitude is palpable ❤
I'm in love with both Veere and his stunning home. Can you just imagine being a guest there, sublime. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely gorgeous
Both home and garden-so beautiful!!
Lovely home. But more importantly, lovely man. Thank you for such a nice video. DA
Definitely a charmed life to have left NZ with naught and arrived in you Palladian dream!
What a fortunate human! Delightful.
Timeless: that is an elusive definition that is referred to in design, and everything about this extraordinary residence defines that quality. It will look just as fresh 40 years from now, as it did 40 years ago. It is supremely edited with just enough furnishings, and artwork, and no more. It is also very light in feeling or mood. Its all of a piece: the architecture, the furnishings, the gardens, and utterly enchanting.
Design wise I have always known this house in photos, lovely to see it lived and commented.
I fall in love over and over everytime I watch and re-watch Design Notes. The people, the places, the spaces. Gorgeous.
It’s a recklessly beautiful house. And he’s totally right- what a perfect place for a single person or a couple. It’s built like a hideaway for one. I just love it.
I Absolutely love English Aesthetics.. Comfortable Plush Everything is amazing and still usable.. You can still put your feet up...
the pink color is stunning
Utterly exquisite once again.
What an elegant gentleman with an equally elegant home.
The more videos with Veere Grenney I watch the more I like the person!
SOOO INVITING!...JUST BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL!...I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS HOME!
The stuff that my dreams are made of 😊
This is one of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen!
Just lovely! A piece of paradise.
This is utterly beautiful, what a great home, love the bedroom with the doors out to garden 😍
So beautiful and serene. The satin/taffeta curtains are a dream.
I spent a wonderful summers day here as l had a cottage not far from here and kept waiting for the open gardens day, pure Suffolk magic
He mentions Robert Kime, who also said he "just collected the beautiful things he loved". But you have to have impeccable eye and style, which both these men have.
I love it deeply ❤
I actually find this man more interesting than his home. He`s fascinating to listen to. Gorgeous garden.
This fantastic property is a testament to both tasteful design and a discerning eye, passion and big heart. 🥰🥰
What a beautiful house and garden. Love the colours, the textures. You can tell he puts love on every detail. Well done, sir!
What a beautiful, beautiful home. Proud he is a New Zealander. A very interesting clever man. 🤍
Wonderful.
How clever he is to add the layers and lushness with restraint so the architecture and divine views still star! So proud of this incredibly talented New Zealander. I will never be scathing about the Dahlia again-his look fabulous. Vere really knows how to make a guest room so welcoming- lucky visitors to this house.
Of all the beautiful Design Notes moments I have cherished over the years and all the magical little factories you have taken us into this must be the best yet. What a charming man and place he has created. Remarkable. Thank you Design Notes.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING... Love the house and the Gentleman host!!! Well done, very well done...
Loved the house, gardens and man! Then. He had to mention having his dahlias covered with manure and surviving winter and being many years old and I am now obsessed with this idea. I really want to know exactly what his friend does, as this is not a usual storage method! Reverse hotbed🤔🤔🤔Brilliant!
Incredible
Beautiful!
What a beautiful home inside and out. The flowers are just incredible. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love the pink color - charming.
The perfect perfect weekender. Hard to stay away ,one would imagine.
such a lovely and interesting man and life!
What a lovely person he is! "Madness"! And such joy and appreciation of the subtle details. I'm going to paint my bedroom that beautiful "brownish" pink if I can come close to a match. 😊
너무 아름다운 정원 물이 있고 하늘과 넘 ~~~예쁜 핑크 제라늄 너무 사치하지 않으며. 그러나 세상에서 가장 편 안하고 예쁜 정원 이예요 몇번을 돌려 봤는지요 향기와 하늘과 뽀송하고. 신선한 느낌 아름다워~~~~~~~요 하나님의 축복이. 영원하시길

There's something really quite soothing about these people talking about all their artisinal friends theyve worked with and known to create elements of their home ❤ LOVE the kitchen chair greek key inspired fabric!!
Love his story and home! What a beautiful manifestation ✨
This is just lovely. I can feel the love in the walls of this place. Timeless and so comfortable and easy to live in. Just beautiful, Thank you for sharing
Probably the most lovely home I've ever seen ❤
What an exquisite home. The interior compliments the surroundings well.
Wow. Every bit of that is exquisite.
Great presentation! Thanks for sharing!
It might be the most beautiful house and grounds in the world. I love that he's loved it so long.
What an incredible romp through a magical house and garden…..THANKS….
Oh my. I love every bit of it.
The house and garden are beautiful I love that pink color - and the geraniums. Truly a great house to retreat to on weekends…..
This Mr Grenney is just delightful and i can’t explain how wonderful it feels to be in that house. Of course it is the wonderful architecture that is put first and the color certainly shows it off in its best light. Thank goodness for the old days that people would take on apprentices , it is not possible to do this in the Uber corporate world of everything has to look alike and none of these internet people that call themselves decorators have any single thought of their own
What a lucky, inspired man.
I've always loved this folly. It's in good hands.
A delightful home with a gracious host.
Simply breathtaking
what a sweet man
So dreamy. I’m in awe
just lovely. that brown based color on the wall... sublime.... I am glad he talked more about it.. because I gasped when I saw it..
Absolutely love this
Just wonderful! Thank you.
So beautiful.
Its so beautiful , so perfect!
Love how he loves it
Stunning. Such a lovely man and beautiful dog friend too.
Enchanting
Beautiful garden!
Absolutely Love it , Love it ,Love it!
Charming and lovely.
What a dreamy beautiful place. Love it all 🤍
absolutely perfect 💚
The garden is beautiful.
Heavenly 🩷
Not my cup of hot chocolate but the house seems to fit its guardian so well. Elegant, restraint, calm, crisp and inviting. Bravo to Mr Grenney for loving and honoring such delicate piece of historical real estate.
Delicious...
Absolutely stunning ♥️
Magnificent! 💗
Veere sounds much more at home and happier in Tangiers.
So lovely.
