Company information

In 2014 we returned to London from Moscow, were we’d been working for 5 years and started looking for a country house. When we saw Swafield Hall for the first time the house definitely wasn’t in its best condition. The roof was leaking, walls were cracked, some windows, doors and wooden constructions were rotten. And it was a beautiful, outstanding house with more than 4 centuries of history. We said “definitely not” but returned here once, returned again, and finally decided to buy Swafield Hall, renovate and restore it to its previous glory. We moved to Swafield Hall in October 2014. Our first purchase for Swafield Hall was the Apollo Belvedere marble statue for the Apollo Promenade. Apollo Belvedere can be seen in many parks in the Tsars’ residences near Saint-Petersburg where one of us (Boris) was brought up. English landscape design had a big influence on Russian parks in the 18th and 19th centuries and Swafield Hall gardens reminds Boris of his homeland. The renovation started in 2015, some minor finishing still needs to be done, but the most important work is completed. We are happy now to share our love and passion for this beautiful place with our guests.
