Surrounded by beautiful countryside, Art House is a 'one-of-a-kind' contemporary home located in the charming village of Sutton-on-Trent. Carefully redesigned and extended by the current owners, the property has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise space and natural light, creating a stylish, low-maintenance home. Step inside and you're immediately greeted by a stunning open-plan living space and kitchen with vaulted ceilings and bi-fold doors opening onto a south-facing terrace – perfect for entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels flood the interior with natural light. Every detail – from the spiral staircase to the bespoke doors – reflects the exceptional design quality. A large mezzanine area and separate sitting room add further character to this unique home. Upstairs, all the bedrooms feature their own stylish contemporary ensuite bathrooms, ideal for hosting overnight guests. Meanwhile, the principal bedroom enjoys a private dressing room and a balcony overlooking the garden. Outside, the garden is largely laid to lawn, with multiple spots for outdoor dining and relaxation. A detached stable block also offers excellent conversion potential as a studio, home office, gym, or guest annexe (subject to planning consent). Tucked away in a peaceful village location, yet well-connected to London and other cities via road and rail, Art House combines space, high-quality design, and privacy in a truly special setting. Sellers insights Art House is a contemporary home in a traditional rural setting. When we moved in, we redesigned and converted the property with the help of a well-known Canadian architect. We wanted to create light and open spaces that would be easy to maintain. Every inch has been designed to maximise both space and flow. We've incorporated unusual architectural details in the design – like the Moroccan-style doors and the spiral staircase – to give the house a distinctive look and feel. The open-plan living space and kitchen are perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. There's also a lovely, more traditional sitting room. The mezzanine space, which overlooks the ground floor, is incredibly light and versatile. I've used it as a study, but it would work equally well as a reading nook, a studio, or a creative retreat. The different living areas allow everyone to enjoy their own space. All the bedrooms come with individual ensuite bathrooms, which is ideal when friends or family come to stay – no queues for the shower here! The garden is wonderfully quiet. There are several seating areas outside, perfect whether you're enjoying a morning coffee, dining al fresco with friends or having an impromptu BBQ. With the bi-fold doors on either side of the house, there's a lovely indoor-outdoor flow. When our grandchildren visit, they absolutely love running freely inside and outside the house. The garden is low maintenance too, ideal for a robot lawnmower! The stable block offers a huge amount of development potential. Subject to planning, it could easily be transformed into a home office, gym, creative studio, workshop, or even a guest annexe or Airbnb. It's a fantastic blank canvas. We love the peace and privacy here. The house is surrounded by mature trees and scenic countryside. There are some lovely riverside walks nearby where you can spot all kinds of wildlife, and fantastic places to visit locally, including Sherwood Forest. The area is steeped in history. Newark Castle is just a short drive away and Lincoln is a little further afield. We've thoroughly enjoyed living in Sutton-on-Trent. The village is home to people of all ages.

Seller Insight Viola has been our home since 2012, and from the very beginning, it's been something truly special. We built this house ourselves with a dream of creating the perfect family home, and over the years, it has become exactly that and more. What first drew us here was the location. As you turn down the private road, there's an immediate sense of calm, it feels like stepping into another world, far removed from the noise and busyness of everyday life. That feeling has never faded. Because we built the house, we were able to create a space that perfectly balances family living with entertaining. We didn't cut corners when it came to comfort, and every detail has been thoughtfully considered. It's a home that feels luxurious, yet completely practical too. Features like the internal laundry chute have made everyday life that little bit easier. We've taken great care of the house over the years, and it's something we're really proud of.

It's quiet and private, yet always supportive when it matters, it's a lovely balance of seclusion and connection that's hard to find. What we'll miss most is the love, care, and thought that went into building this home. It's more than just a house to us - it's been a huge part of our lives, and leaving it won't be easy.

The House. Set at the heart of the village of Whitchurch and commanding extraordinary, uninterrupted views across the Vale of Aylesbury, Bolebec House is a substantial and atmospheric country residence of exceptional architectural interest. Constructed of stone and brick beneath a gabled fa?ade, the house has evolved organically over four centuries, resulting in a home of great character, depth and flexibility. The earliest part of the house dates to the 16th century, still clearly identifiable in the library wing, reputedly built using stone salvaged from the ruins of nearby Bolebec Castle. Subsequent centuries introduced thoughtful additions and refinements, most notably during the Victorian period, evident in the elegant staircase and brick elevations. In the early 20th century the house was home to the family of celebrated artist Rex Whistler, who famously painted The Vale of Aylesbury from the grounds in 1933. In recent years, the current owners have undertaken an extensive and sensitive programme of refurbishment and modernisation, preserving the home`s historic integrity while introducing contemporary comforts. The addition of a bespoke orangery in 2022 has further enhanced the connection between the house, gardens and views.

The principal bedroom has an adjoining dressing room fitted with splendid oak ledge and brace internal doors and a well-appointed bathroom. There are four further double bedrooms, two of which have cast iron fireplaces, and a recently modernised large family bathroom with a shower and roll-top free standing Victorian bath. Step outside Outside, the property is set well back from the road on a plot of approximately 1.3 acres and boasts a sweeping carriage gravel driveway with two white five bar gates to the front. The driveway provides ample parking and a detached double garage with EV charging point. There is a natural screening by way of a mature, curved laurel hedge and trees with clipped box hedging and planted beds providing colour and interest for much of the year. The rear garden enjoys a lovely south easterly aspect and features several sun terraces which provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and al-fresco dining. The rear garden has spectacular unspoilt views of arable farmland and woodland beyond. The garden has been creatively landscaped and is a particularly notable feature with an abundance of well stocked flower beds, a manicured lawn, rose arbour, a pond and an all-weather tennis court. Fresh vegetables are grown in the fenced raised garden. Location Manor Farmhouse is situated in a secluded position in the peaceful village of Old Knebworth, a traditional and sought-after rural village with a public house, church and cricket pitch.  Other village facilities are located only a short drive away in Knebworth including a post office, doctors surgery and a sought-after primary school.  Knebworth house is nearby together with Knebworth Golf Club.  Although in a village location, its extremely convenient with Knebworth mainline station (London's Kings Cross from 25 minutes) just 1.4 miles away, Hitchin 5.7 miles, Stevenage 4.5 miles (Marks and Spencer), Welwyn Garden City 6.3 miles (John Lewis) and Harpenden is 10.1 miles.   Other information The current owners have commissioned an architect to prepare and produce plans for the addition of a further en-suite upstairs and to create a fabulous open-plan kitchen/dining room with central island and two sets of French doors leading into the rear garden. A copy of these plans and CAD video walkthroughs are available for interested parties. If further accommodation is required, there is scope for developing into the attic space above the double garage and annex (subject to the relevant permissions). We have also been advised that if the annex were to be let out on short term basis, it would generate in excess of £200 per night. There is also a public footpath that runs adjacent to the tennis court within the edge of the boundary of the property. Mains Electricity Mains drainage Oil fired central heating  North Herts Council
