Almost a century later the house was sold by a descendant of Thomas Joyce to the local Architect Thomas Player Issac, who had rented Hinton Abbey for a number of years. His short occupancy and the large building works involved point to his objective of selling the finished house . For it is in 1893 that Percival Huth, a very wealthy Banker buys the property. Issac is best known as the architect for the domed Guildhall Market in Bath, though with his partner Hickes he designed a number of other houses and churches. Though his 2 additional wing at the rear are uninteresting he was sympathetic with the regency front of the building. His additional wing improved the look of the building and even today fools most people into believing it is comptempary with the other wing. The magnificent Conservatory which lead of from this new wing has fortunately survived to this day, despite threats of demolition in the past. Almost all of the interiors were remodelled in the Victorian style with heavy plaster ceilings and mahogany display cabinets. Sadly a number of rooms were lost in the creation of a large new staircase.
