Overview

This project delivers a contemporary country house designed to respond sensitively to its estate setting. The design combines traditional proportions and materials with modern construction methods, resulting in a spacious family home that sits comfortably within its rural landscape.

Ground Floor Features

The entrance is marked by a covered porch leading into a generous reception hall with stone-effect flooring and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. A bespoke oak staircase rises to a galleried landing, bringing natural light deep into the plan. A cloakroom is positioned off the hallway and fitted with a contemporary white sanitary suite.

The main sitting room enjoys dual-aspect views across the estate and features a fireplace with a natural stone surround, creating a strong focal point. Large openings and carefully positioned windows enhance daylight while maintaining a sense of privacy and connection to the surrounding countryside.

Kitchen & Family Living

The kitchen, breakfast, and family area forms the heart of the home, designed as an open-plan space for everyday living and entertaining. A central island provides informal seating, while full-width glazing and bi-folding doors open onto a terrace overlooking the grounds. High-quality fitted cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a walk-in pantry combine practicality with a clean, contemporary aesthetic.
