Set within approximately one acre of private grounds and adjoining open countryside, this exceptional contemporary home offers a rare combination of architectural clarity and tranquil rural living. Designed by an award winning architect and constructed by its current owners in 2006 to an exacting standard, the house reflects the principles of California modernism, with light-filled, open-plan spaces that connect seamlessly with the landscape beyond. The sense of arrival is immediate. A striking double-height reception space forms the heart of the home, where floor-to-ceiling glazing frames far-reaching views across the gardens and countryside towards the Bollin valley. Clean lines and carefully considered detailing create a calm, uncluttered aesthetic, with discreetly integrated air-conditioning, concealed blind systems, and minimal glazing frames enhancing the sense of visual purity. The Poggenpohl kitchen, appointed with Gaggenau appliances, is both functional and adaptable. A substantial sliding partition allows the space to be opened to, or separated from, the main living area, offering flexibility for both entertaining and everyday family life. Solid oak louvres provide shade from the height of the sun, softening the light and bringing a gentle rhythm to the interior throughout the day. A sculptural staircase in fumed oak rises to the first floor, where the bedroom accommodation is complemented by a dedicated office and gym. Above, a combination of frameless glazing and a partially glazed roof, interspersed with architectural concrete fins, allows natural light to flood and move through the space, creating an ever-changing interplay of light and shadow. The use of natural materials oak, glass, and concrete imbues the interiors with both warmth and integrity. Externally, the property is equally well considered. A three-car garage is fitted with a bespoke solid oak door, echoing the architectural language of the house and providing direct access to the property, while a separate entrance provides independent access to guest or staff accommodation, ensuring both privacy and convenience. The boundaries between inside and out are thoughtfully blurred, resulting in a home that feels at once contemporary and timeless a place where architecture, light, and landscape exist in quiet harmony.
