A Remarkable Architectural Home Created Around Nature Architect-designed contemporary residence by Argent Architects • Approximately four acres of private grounds • Three bedrooms • Engineered glulam post-and-beam construction • Standing-seam zinc roof and cladding • High-performance insulated envelope • Aluminium/timber composite glazing • Two elevated balconies • Two substantial garages • Dedicated workspace • Separate lodge/store • Wildlife pond • Exceptional privacy There are homes that are renovated, and then there are those that are completely reimagined. When the current owners discovered Millpark, an entirely different bungalow occupied this wonderfully secluded setting. Recognising the potential of the land, they made the bold decision to demolish the original dwelling and begin again, commissioning renowned Pembrokeshire practice Argent Architects to create a home designed specifically around its surroundings. The result is a striking three-bedroom contemporary residence, elevated above approximately four acres of private grounds and thoughtfully positioned to maximise natural light, privacy and its exceptional connection with the surrounding landscape. Built around an engineered glulam post-and-beam frame, with a high-performance insulated envelope, standing-seam zinc roof and cladding, and aluminium/timber composite glazing, the house combines bold contemporary architecture with outstanding energy efficiency, durability and low-maintenance modern living. Yet it is the relationship with nature that makes Millpark truly special. Generous glazing draws the outside in, while two elevated balconies provide wonderful places to sit and admire the surrounding countryside. Morning coffee as the sun rises, long summer evenings overlooking the grounds, or simply watching the seasons unfold—the landscape becomes an integral part of everyday life. Within the grounds are two ponds, including a beautiful wildlife pond that has become a thriving natural habitat. During my own visit, one of the most memorable sights was the extraordinary dragonflies—amongst the largest I have ever seen—gliding effortlessly across the water’s surface. It is a small detail, perhaps, but one that perfectly captures the tranquillity, biodiversity and sense of seclusion that define this remarkable setting. The grounds themselves encourage a slower pace of life. Mature trees, open lawns and natural planting create an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons, attracting an abundance of wildlife while offering complete privacy. It is a setting that feels both beautifully landscaped and wonderfully wild, allowing nature to flourish around the home. The elevated design also creates exceptional practicality beneath the principal accommodation, with two substantial garages and a dedicated workspace. Subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents, there may be potential to explore connecting the workspace with the accommodation above, creating further flexibility for those seeking additional living accommodation, a studio or a home office. A separate lodge/store provides valuable ancillary accommodation within the grounds, further enhancing the versatility of the property. Millpark is not simply a bungalow that has been modernised. It is an entirely new home, thoughtfully conceived from the ground up—where contemporary architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and approximately four acres of private Pembrokeshire countryside exist in complete harmony. For those seeking something genuinely individual, Millpark offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, complete privacy, practical versatility and an exceptional connection with nature. A home designed not simply to sit within its landscape, but to embrace it.

A Landmark Private Residence on Knighton Grange Road, Oadby For sale by Harry Singh of Fine & Country, this exceptional detached residence occupies a private plot of nearly 1.8 acres on one of Oadby’s most prestigious roads. Accessed via a double-gated private driveway, with electric gates and intercom to the front, the home immediately conveys a sense of arrival, privacy and quiet grandeur. Set behind mature trees, sweeping driveway space and landscaped grounds, the property is an extraordinary family residence with approximately 16,839 sq ft of accommodation, extensive garaging, workshops and outbuildings. The home is arranged in distinct wings, making it particularly well suited to large families, multi-generational living, entertaining and those seeking a lifestyle property of true substance. The property is a genuinely rare fusion of two distinct architectural chapters: a beautifully designed contemporary wing, conceived and built by the current owners circa 1995, wrapped harmoniously around a Grade II Listed rear wing — formerly Knighton Grange Farm — whose original stone and character lend this home a depth and provenance that no new build could ever replicate. Together, they form a seamless whole: a private estate of extraordinary scale, sophistication, and soul. The Main Entrance & Central Hall Entry is through a grand front door of real presence — a fitting introduction to everything that follows. The house opens into a magnificent entrance hallway, where marble flooring with underfloor heating creates an immediate feeling of elegance. A large glazed frontage draws natural light deep into the home, while the central staircase rises beautifully ahead, splitting at the landing with marble steps and solid oak beyond.

Elegant and generously proportioned, it is perfectly suited to family celebrations, dinner parties and more formal entertaining.

Set at the end of a sweeping drive through historic parkland, a rare and captivating country estate, one that seamlessly blends architectural grandeur, cutting edge modern comfort and an extraordinary sense of heritage. Immaculately refurbished to the highest standard, the house has been thoughtfully restored for contemporary family living while celebrating the craftsmanship and character of its period origins. From the moment you step inside, the scale and elegance are unmistakable. The stately entrance and inner halls form the heart of the home, rising dramatically to a double-height gallery above. Limestone floors, intricate cornicing and domed ceilings create a sense of occasion, while original parquet flooring and open fireplaces add warmth and authenticity. Technology has been discreetly integrated, with underfloor heating to the ground floor and first-floor bathrooms, alongside Sonos audio and a Crestron home management system controlling lighting, climate, curtains and entertainment at the touch of a tablet or smartphone. The house occupies an elevated position on Holwood Hill, commanding far reaching southerly views across rolling countryside. Two areas of woodland frame the property, creating a natural avenue and a picturesque vista. Ground Floor: - The principal reception rooms flow beautifully from the central halls, each designed to make the most of the breathtaking southerly views across the estate. The music hall is a particular highlight, with its elegant proportions and panoramic outlook over rolling parkland. The drawing room, dining room, games room and kitchen/breakfast room all enjoy generous sash windows and French doors, bathing the interiors in natural light and creating a wonderful connection to the grounds beyond. At the centre of family life sits the magnificent Clive Christian kitchen. With a dramatic double-height ceiling and expansive roof lights, it is both striking and supremely practical. A library mezzanine overlooks part of the breakfast area, creating a relaxed yet refined space for reading or quiet work. From here, the house opens effortlessly into the family room, which in turn leads directly into the newly refurbished swimming pool complex and annexe, perfect for year-round entertaining. Beneath the house, the substantial cellar offers yet more lifestyle flexibility. A large central entertaining space, referred to as the Shisha Lounge, is complemented by two gyms and newly installed communications, boiler and heating systems as well as a generous laundry room. The ground floor is completed by a private study, Champagne bar/Snooker room, four car garage, cloakroom, powder room and a fully insulated cinema room with surround sound for evenings at home. First Floor - A grand sweeping staircase leads to the first-floor accommodation, where space and privacy have been beautifully balanced. The principal suite forms a luxurious private retreat, complete with two dressing rooms, an elegant en suite bathroom and its own sitting room, all overlooking the parkland and valley beyond. Two further bedrooms in this wing interconnect and share a bathroom, ideal for children or guests. The pillared central gallery looks down over the inner hall and gives access to a further bedroom suite, a nursery and a dedicated guest wing with two additional bedroom suites. A separate landing connects back to the library mezzanine and down to the kitchen below. The leisure facilities at Holwood are exceptional. The swimming pool complex has been refurbished to a luxury spa-level specification, with a steam room, sauna, two rainforest showers, pool table and a wet lounge. French doors open onto timber decking, making it an idyllic setting for summer gatherings, barbecues and poolside entertaining. A striking glass staircase rises to the first-floor guest accommodation, which includes a generous games room or gym, two further guest bedrooms and a shower room. Separate stairs lead to a fully self-contained housekeeper's apartment with two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and living room, ideal for staff or independent living. Gardens And Grounds - The setting of Holwood House is truly extraordinary. The approach winds gently through landscaped parkland originally sculpted by Decimus Burton, immediately instilling a sense of arrival and privacy. The house occupies an elevated position on Holwood Hill, commanding far-reaching southerly views across rolling countryside. Two areas of woodland frame the property, creating a natural avenue and a picturesque vista visible from many of the principal rooms and bedrooms. To the rear, the estate includes a secondary drive, tennis court, walled garden and an elegant garden pavilion to the west. To the east, a newly constructed machinery store, also suitable as a helicopter hangar, adds a discreet yet highly practical modern touch. History - Few houses can claim a history as rich or as influential as Holwood, and fewer still combine such pedigree with effortless modern living. The site itself is recorded as an Iron Age fort, Caesar's Camp, and has long been recognised for its strategic and scenic importance. In the late 18th century, Holwood became the cherished retreat of William Pitt the Younger, Britain's youngest ever Prime Minister, who commissioned Sir John Soane to remodel the house and transform the surrounding landscape. It was here, beneath a great oak tree in 1787, that Pitt famously encouraged William Wilberforce to begin the parliamentary campaign to abolish the slave trade. The house was later rebuilt in its current classical Georgian form by the celebrated architect Decimus Burton in 1827. Over the centuries, Holwood has welcomed an extraordinary roll call of visitors and residents, including Charles Darwin, who conducted experiments in the grounds, and Winston Churchill, who dined here regularly during the Second World War. Today, the house and grounds are Grade I listed, reflecting their exceptional historical significance. Location And Lifestyle - Holwood House enjoys an elevated, private position just east of the charming village of Keston, which offers a village hall, pub and post office. More extensive shopping can be found in Bromley, with Sevenoaks under 14 miles away. The area is renowned for its excellent schooling, with a wide selection of highly regarded independent and state schools within easy reach. Fast rail services from Orpington and Bromley South provide swift access into central London, while the M25 is readily accessible. Golfers are well served by nearby courses including Chelsfield Lakes, West Kent and Lullingstone Park. Biggin Hill Airport is just 1.7 miles away, with Gatwick and London City also within comfortable reach. Holwood House is not simply a home; it is a private estate of rare beauty and historical importance, offering a lifestyle defined by space, privacy, elegance and connection to both countryside and city.

Vendor’s Perspective “We chose this house in 1978 after viewing numerous properties across the area, but this one stood apart. Its character, quality of workmanship and solid construction immediately caught our attention; more importantly, it simply felt like home. The house was originally commissioned for Sir Nicholas and Lady Margaret Corah, members of one of Leicester’s most prominent families. The Corah textile business once employed more than 6,000 people, and the house reflects the stature and quality one would expect of a residence created for such a distinguished family. It was designed and built by one of the finest architects and craftsmen of its time, with an attention to detail that is increasingly difficult to find today. Its position on one of the area’s finest tree-lined roads was another important part of its appeal. The mature trees surrounding the house provide exceptional privacy and seclusion, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of a busy day. The location was equally attractive, with convenient access to London Road, Leicester railway station, the ring road and motorway network. Our children’s schools were nearby, while many of our friends and family already lived in the area, making it the perfect place in which to raise our family. Over the years, we have grown to appreciate the house even more. Its solid doors, beautiful wood panelling, generous proportions and character features are reminders of a time when homes were built with exceptional materials and craftsmanship. There is a solidity, warmth and sense of permanence here that is very difficult to replicate. For us, this has always been much more than a house. It has been the backdrop to almost five decades of happy memories. Its remarkable combination of character, craftsmanship, privacy, beautiful surroundings and outstanding location makes it a very special home—one we hope its next owners will enjoy and cherish just as much as we have.” The Location Knighton Grange Road is regarded as one of Oadby’s finest residential addresses, characterised by substantial individual homes, generous plots and mature surroundings. Oadby offers an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with access to highly regarded state and independent schools. Stoneygate, Knighton, Leicester Racecourse, the University of Leicester Botanic Garden and the green open spaces of Victoria Park are all within convenient reach. The A6 provides straightforward access to Leicester city centre and Market Harborough, while the A563 Ring Road connects with the M1, M69 and wider motorway network. Leicester railway station offers direct rail services to London St Pancras International, making the property particularly well placed for business and leisure travel. A Rare Opportunity A home of genuine presence and provenance, this remarkable property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence on one of the area’s most prestigious roads. Its exceptional craftsmanship, generous accommodation and private grounds combine to create a home of enduring distinction. Viewing is essential to appreciate its scale, atmosphere and timeless appeal.

Background Boath House has a distinguished and atmospheric past that perfectly complements its graceful architecture. Standing on a site once occupied by “the great stone house” recorded in the era of Mary Queen of Scots, it is widely regarded as one of Scotland’s loveliest Regency country houses, designed by celebrated Aberdeen architect Archibald Simpson. The surrounding landscape has witnessed moments of real historical drama. In 1645, during the turbulent covenanting wars, part of Montrose’s Royalist army is believed to have assembled on the rising ground in front of the present house as they awaited the opposing forces led by the Duke of Argyll. At that time, a tower dating from the midsixteenth century stood here, and local tradition holds that soldiers camped on land now just beyond the lower edge of the walled garden. Created for Sir James Dunbar, Boath House remained in the Dunbar family for generations, right up until the early twentieth century. Thereafter, it passed through several owners and, by the early 1990s, had sadly slipped into serious disrepair. It was then that Don and Wendy acquired the property and embarked on an extensive, sensitive restoration, carefully reviving the house and reinstating much of its original elegance and charm. The estate’s historic character is echoed in its surviving features. A period dovecote linked to the old house still stands in the nearby village of Auldearn and is now preserved under the care of the National Trust for Scotland. The walled garden, informed by historical research into its original layout, has been thoughtfully replanted in the spirit of a traditional kitchen garden and once again supplies the house with fresh herbs and vegetables, honouring the self-sufficient traditions of earlier centuries. Description The main house is arranged over three floors and offers generous, versatile accommodation. On the ground floor there are 5 reception rooms, currently set up as a dining room, a bar area, a reception lounge and a two further more intimate reception areas. There is also a professional kitchen on this floor. Upstairs are five beautifully appointed bedroom suites and extensive ancillary space. In its most recent guise, the house has successfully operated as a luxury boutique guest house with an acclaimed restaurant, demonstrating clear potential for future use as an intimate hotel, exclusiveuse venue or refined private residence. The basement area has two further bedrooms and a number of further rooms which could be adapted to be used as a spa area or home cinema. For over two decades, significant investment and sensitive restoration have transformed Boath House from a near derelict building into an exceptionally wellpresented property. Its scale, setting and layout mean it could be enjoyed either as an outstanding private country home or as a distinctive boutique hotel or hospitality venture, giving an incoming owner valuable flexibility over future use. Cottages & The Café Within the grounds, two stylish cottages, the four hundred year old Apple Cottage and Meikle Cottage, provide additional flexible accommodation, suitable for guests, staff or extended family. The house is framed by mature, landscaped gardens, and the historic walled garden has previously accommodated a café and shop, offering potential buyers the opportunity to reestablish a destination element if desired. The wider estate includes an orchard, productive kitchen garden, ornamental pond, sauna and areas of established woodland, creating a classic country setting with a strong sense of privacy. Location Boath House enjoys an idyllic setting on the beautiful Moray Firth coastline, just a few minutes’ drive east of the popular seaside town of Nairn and within easy reach of Inverness Airport. Surrounded by picturesque Highland scenery, it offers an appealing blend of peaceful country living and excellent accessibility for both local and longdistance travel. Nairn is a vibrant coastal town, long favoured as a holiday destination thanks to its golden beaches, charming harbour and welcoming atmosphere. The town provides an excellent selection of amenities, including independent shops, an art gallery, two museums, cafes and restaurants, alongside a sports centre, swimming pool, cricket pitch, tennis club and riding facilities. The harbour and marina form a lively focal point, with a small fishing fleet, sailing club and moored leisure craft reinforcing the town’s strong maritime character. Education is well catered for, with local primary and secondary schools, and the renowned Gordonstoun School situated around half an hour’s drive away. The Highland capital of Inverness, approximately 18 miles from Boath House, offers a full range of city facilities, including major supermarkets, retail parks, cultural venues and comprehensive medical services. Inverness also benefits from a mainline railway station with regular services to Aberdeen, Perth and Edinburgh, as well as a sleeper service to London, while Inverness Airport provides frequent flights to London, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham and a number of other UK and European destinations. In addition, Boath House is ideally placed for enjoying many of the Highlands’ most sought-after leisure pursuits. Nearby, there are acclaimed golf courses, scenic coastal and countryside walks, renowned whisky distilleries and a wealth of historic sites to explore.

Few properties exist that genuinely redefine what a home can be. Lakeside Lodge is one of them. A one-of-a-kind, four-bedroom barn conversion of extraordinary quality, set within approximately 1.72 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds in the peaceful rural hamlet of Shangton, Leicestershire. From the moment the electric gates open and the driveway unfolds before you, it becomes clear that this is something entirely exceptional — a home that seamlessly blends architectural character, natural beauty and refined contemporary living in a setting that simply cannot be replicated. The property offers a private lake, a magnificent large terrace, sweeping lawns, a commercially rated barn with workshop, a separate studio, two en-suites, a family bathroom and three generous reception rooms. Planning permission has furthermore been granted (Ref: 24/01159/FUL) for a fifth bedroom above the existing lounge — an exciting opportunity to further elevate this already outstanding residence. This is countryside living at its absolute finest. Accommodation The property is entered via a glazed door into a welcoming entrance hall with useful storage. To the right, the sitting room is a wonderfully comfortable space featuring a large bay window and French doors to the front elevation, framing stunning views across the lawns and lake. A feature fireplace with exposed brick surround, timber mantel and log burner inset creates a superb focal point. To the left of the entrance lies the impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space — a light-filled, statement room benefiting from two sets of bi-folding doors to the front elevation, skylights above and a glazed door off the kitchen to the rear courtyard garden. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, with fitted cupboards and drawers, granite worktops, a Belfast sink, an electric Range and a generous island unit providing further storage and a breakfast bar.
