RESIN BOUND PATHWAYS FOR VICTORIAN MANSION

A Victorian mansion hotel in Hampshire has undergone a full internal restoration now , all the attention is focused on the outdoor space and gardens . Geveko Markings ’ GeoPave EzFloat was the ideal choice for the pathways around the garden , complimenting the Victorian architecture of the building whilst seamlessly blending with the modern and contemporary feel of the entertainment space .
Coldeast is a beautiful Victorian mansion set in 10 acres of wonderful gardens and parkland , with views towards the River Hamble in Southampton , Hampshire .
Built in 1765 , Coldeast Mansion has been owned by several wealthy families who have , over the years , extended and modified the house . In 1924 the Estate was sold to Hampshire County Council , who added a further 170 acres to the estate and converted its use to a psychiatric hospital . In 2009 the mansion was then converted to a hotel which , after renovating , was opened to guests in 2015 . Now under new management , the new owners have carefully and sensitively restored the mansion to its former glory and are now in the process of developing the gardens .
