Talliston House & Gardens is an ex-council house in Essex, England that has been transformed by owner John Trevillian into a miniature palace. The house is located at Talliston, Newton Green, Great Dunmow, Essex CM6 1DU, United Kingdom.[1]
As a child, Trevillian always wanted to live in a castle and when he bought the house in 1990[2] he set about turning it into his fantasy,[3] with thirteen detailed and themed rooms.[4]
In 2014, it was reported that due to financial difficulties Trevillian was going to have to sell the house that he had spent over £500,000 on, for £350,000,[5] but a public outcry resulted in substantial donations that allowed him to stay.[6] The house was opened to the public on 6 October 2015, exactly 25 years after work began.[2]
Talliston House & Gardens is featured in episode two of the Netflix show Amazing Interiors.[2]
