about

This architecturally designed, timber frame, contemporary country location home is a hidden gem boasting breathtaking views across the entire 180-degree landscape and valley.

Perfect for Mediterranean style shoots or completely unique locations.

The eco house harvests and runs on its own energy and now sits 2m higher up the sloping site than the original dwelling and has integrated an air-sourced heat pump, house battery and 26 solar panels.

The house is centred around an internal courtyard covered in a living wall which can be seen from all angles of the house, bedrooms and as you enter through the front door. Jasmine, Clematis and an herb garden creep up the walls and fill it with perfume in Summer and constant greenery in winter.

The courtyard allows light to permeate throughout the house and most notably, fills the main living space with light throughout the day and the Corten steel water feature creates a natural cool sink which works by cooling hot, humid air and allowing cooler air to circulate throughout the house.

The bedrooms are built at the rear, and the focus is the living room and open plan kitchen-diner with large format glass sliding doors along the front. This space is separated by beautiful 2.7m high rusted steel critall style, sliding doors that were removed from an office in London and destined for landfill.

Brazilian quartzite graces the walls and worktops of the open plan kitchen diner and large format glazing boats 180-degree views of the opposite valleys and sweeping Surrey Hills.

The house is surrounded by 4m walls ensuring complete privacy and security which adds to its idyllic location.

The landscaping encompasses a one-acre site and is filled with a variety of year-round planting as well as a fertile orchard and beautiful large swimming pool and entertaining terraces.

5 bedrooms are on the same level of the house accessed by 4 steps. Each have an ensuite bathroom.

Main bedroom has two large walk-in wardrobes with an ensuite bathroom in the centre.

One other bedroom also has a walk-in wardrobe.

The downstairs loo has an opulent feel, and the walk-in pantry, boot room and utility room are adjacent to the kitchen area and lead out to the back garden terraces and additional contemporary pool house which has been built into the wall of the pool.
