Interior changes create a light, grand space with a Gothic hall, a Caen stone fireplace, and a Louis XV reception room. A second floor houses a picture gallery, a swimming pool, and a Turkish bath, with third floor featuring a Pompeiian tower room and a roof garden plan. Grounds gain electric illumination and new oval lawn with updated stables and conservatories.
