luxury houses with panoramic view for sale United Kingdom (page 5)

History Orchil Castle, a magnificent Category B Listed, Scots Baronial residence near Braco, was commissioned in 1867 by Rev John McDougall of Dundee and designed by renowned architect Andrew Heiton Junior, the property is widely regarded as one of Heiton’s most ambitious and successful country house projects. The estate later came under the ownership of Rev Thomas Crawford in 1907. Though the castle’s grandeur was twice threatened by major fires—in 1917 and again in 1967, which destroyed the roof—the property survived and retained much of its character. The house has experienced many colourful chapters throughout its history. In the 1920s, Orchil Castle hosted dignitaries including the Duke of York, the future King George VI, and George, Duke of Kent. During WWII, Colonel Dawson, then the owner, kept watch for enemy aircraft from the tower. After the war, shifting fortunes saw the estate briefly function as a foster home, and later, a local farmer allowed his sheep and pigs to roam splendid panelled rooms before restoration began in earnest. Description Boasting a commanding main tower, crow-stepped gables, and signature turrets with spires, Orchil Castle is set in scenic parkland with panoramic views sweeping towards the Ochil Hills.  All four façades present distinct aspects of the remarkable Scots Baronial design. To the rear, a sheltered courtyard framed in a U-shape, adds intimacy and charm to the estate. Internally, the castle features a grand reception hall and spacious yet manageable rooms. The layout currently includes four principal bedrooms, a self-contained three-bedroom flat with a private entrance, and a space where a chapel once stood, all offering versatility for modern living and entertaining. This exclusive property presents a rare and unique opportunity to acquire a Scottish Castle, an architectural gem with a fascinating history and limitless future potential.

Sellers Insight Higher Penstroda has been our home now for several happy years. During our first two or three years, the east and west sections of the building were constructed along with the garage. The original farm house was demolished and all of two bats were moved to their new penthouse accommodation in part of the roof space in the garage. Together we have landscaped the garden which is now thriving with shrubs and plants. It is with great sadness that we find ourselves in a position where leaving our lovely home and returning to family in Sussex, is a must. The surrounding area, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, never ceases to amaze us how the dramatic landscape changes as the seasons move through the year. We have enjoyed the stunning views in all directions, to beyond Bodmin, the rugged coastline of North Cornwall and of course the Moor. The peace and atmospheric conditions of our immediate area will be sorely missed. Our small hamlet of four properties, two very old and two very new, have gelled and blended well. The neighbours have been a pleasure to become acquainted with, and whilst we may not see one another for weeks or even months, it is reassuring to know we are always there to help each other if required. Many times we have visited our nearest village of Blisland, either on foot with the dogs or by car. The village has a thriving community boasting an attractive village green, a super quirky pub, an historic old church and a community run shop. All within walking distance of one another. The Primary school lies in the smaller village of Waterloo. Some of our most enjoyable times have been with visiting family and friends. Times when we have been able to share the joys of our beautiful large family house and garden. When on our own, peace and tranquility abound, moments when we just listen to the sounds of nature. All this we leave behind and hope the owners will be as happy as we've been.

The gardens at Higher Penstroda are a true highlight, lovingly established by the current owners to provide vibrant, year-round colour. With a variety of shrubs, perennials, and young trees, the outdoor space is both tranquil and impressive. A paved and tiled patio occupies the footprint of the former dwelling and serves as a peaceful vantage point to admire the spectacular views.

Benedict House is a spacious family home, built in 1986. Today it is surrounded by a wrap-around garden enclosed on three sides by mature hedges and trees, with post-and-rail fencing along the long fourth side allowing far-reaching views across the fields to the Walbury and Coombe Hills. The house has mostly southerly and westerly aspects, making it a light, bright home. “We've been here for 35 years. The family has grown as we've been here. We came here with three children. Now we've got three children and eight grandchildren. It's a wonderful family house because they can all find their own little space. “It's been a really lovely home to be in.” Entrance hall On entering, you’re welcomed into a spacious, light-filled entrance hall with a galleried landing. Space and light permeate throughout this lovely family home. “It's a very spacious house with a wonderful flow. All the rooms flow into each other downstairs. You can walk right round , which is great. It makes for a nice sociable area. We've had lots of drinks parties here, and everybody gets everywhere.” From the entrance hall, the house flows to the five reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, cloakroom and garage, and upstairs to the eight bedrooms. Study Off the entrance hall, with views over the front drive, is the study – a nicely sized room with a wide window, ideal for working from home. Sitting room Filled with light from the wide south- and west-facing with two set of patio doors and a large window, this elegant sitting room has a feature brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, and three different points of access onto the patio and gardens beyond. “It’s lovely to go for a long ramble and then come back and light the log burner. The view from the room is stunning. To one side you look out onto the enclosed lawn, to the other, dual aspects give far-reaching views across the field to the hills in the distance. The elegant proportions and flow of this home make it perfect for entertaining. In the sitting room alone, you’ve plenty of room for matching sofas, armchairs and accompanying furniture as well as a baby grand piano. Billiards room Space, light – thanks to the dual aspect, double windows and French doors onto the patio, and a feature brick fireplace make this a lovely room to spend time in. Currently used as a billiards room with full size snooker table, this could also be a home gym, cinema room, studio or even a home consulting space. “The billiards room is a super place. I've got seven grandsons, and they congregate in there. I mean, I didn’t want a snooker table , but the boys love it.” Family room Next to the kitchen is the well-used family room, with space to unwind in front of the TV or sit quietly with a book by one of the many windows. French doors on two aspects ensure you can enjoy a flow of fresh air on hot summer days. Dining room The dining room offers both an intimate dining environment and a highly sociable space, thanks to its proportions and connectivity – doors on all four sides lead into the kitchen, hallway, sitting room and through French doors, the patio and garden beyond. “On a warm evening, we used to just sit on the patio outside the dining room, and my husband always – I could almost guarantee it – he would sit there with a glass of wine and say, ‘This is a lovely spot, isn't it?’ And it is. It is a lovely spot.” Kitchen/breakfast room The space where most family life happens is big, light, thoughtfully laid out and well equipped. Windows and French doors look out on three sides, making this a lovely light-filled space. The breakfast bar cleverly divides the room, creating zones while maintaining a connected, sociable space. “Everybody congregates in the kitchen. As they do in most houses if you have a decent-sized kitchen.” In the kitchen you have a double sink, two single ovens, two dishwashers, fridge and plenty of counter surface and storage space. There is also a waste disposal and water filter. The dining area can comfortably accommodate a long refectory table, with space for armchairs to soak up the view. “I love my nice big kitchen. I’ve got two chairs by the patio doors that look straight out onto Walbury Hill over the field. There's always something going on, boxing hares, visiting roe deer and birds. It's a lovely place to sit with a morning coffee.” Utility room Bigger than many kitchens, the utility room provides plentiful additional storage, a double sink and laundry space with plumbing for two washing machines. A stable style door leads out to the garden and second parking area. This also serves as a wonderful boot room, perfect for returning home from a ramble in the countryside. “I had a golden retriever, a big dog. Thankfully I've also got a very big utility room, and it's the most wonderful place for wet dogs. It's all tiled. He knew to stay there until he’d dried off. It's a super place.” There is also a good-sized walk-in pantry WC A well-appointed WC is located between the utility room and the garage. Garage Connected to the house, via a lockable door, is the double garage with electric up-and-over door, lighting and power as well as a water softener. A door to the back of the garage leads into the garden. UPSTAIRS The staircase takes you up to a long hallway with eight bedrooms, two of which are ensuite, and two bathrooms. There is also eaves storage and a couple of charming window nooks, perfect for an occasional table or an easy chair. Principal ensuite bedroom The lovely wide, two windows provide dual aspects for this spacious king-sized bedroom. It has his and hers built-in wardrobes, one of which is walk -in and an adjoining en-suite shower room. The fully tiled ensuite has a thermostatically controlled shower, a close-coupled WC and a hand basin with vanity unit. A tall, chromed ladder-style towel rail dries and warms towels. Ensuite bedroom two A spacious king-sized room, North and West views out to the front of the house, that capture the rising and setting sun. With built-in triple wardrobes keeping the floor space to a maximum, there’s plenty of space for as much or as little bedroom furniture as you like, with additional storage in the eaves. The ensuite shower room is fully tiled, with a fully tiled shower enclosure, a close-coupled WC, hand basin and white ladder-style towel rail. Bedrooms three to eight Lining the southern side of the house, all rooms have built-in wardrobes and far-reaching views across the field to the hills beyond. The smallest a good size still with built in wardrobe space, the largest being a spacious king-sized room with windows on two aspects. Bathrooms Two bathrooms, both with showers and bath, WC and hand basin, serve the bedrooms. Landing There is a large landing with a large airing cupboard and ample eaves storage. Outside “It’s the first garden I've ever had where the sun has just been just right.” Benedict House is encircled by garden. Three sides are surrounded by high mature hedges that create a wonderful feeling of privacy and seclusion, the fourth side has a post-and-rail fence that ensures unbroken views across the neighbouring field to the hills beyond. “The garden gets the sun all day. It comes up over the pond area and then goes all the way round and, as it goes down in the west, you still get the sun in the evening.” “We get lots of birds including goldfinches. Some woodpeckers nest every year in the trees just up by the field, and kites nest in the wood just past us. It's lovely.” Within the garden are areas that come into their own at different times of the day or for different purposes. To the west side of the house is a large area of lawn. “There's enough grass for the kids to play cricket and badminton or whatever. My hot tub is there as well. So the kids liked to have that as their little area.” To the south side, a patio runs along the length of the house, accessed from the kitchen, dining and sitting room – perfect for when entertaining or dining alfresco. “In the early evening, my husband and I used to love having a glass of wine on the patio outside the dining room if it was nice, looking out. It was just so peaceful. It's so quiet here. Beyond the fence is either just sheep or grass.” To the east side, a covered area beside a pretty pond. “There's a lovely little seating area opposite the pond, which is a nice, quiet, relaxing place to sit, with the sound of the water trickling down the waterfall.” “It’s a nice, sheltered spot, which in all this very hot weather we've had, has been lovely. A breeze comes down off the hill, making it a wonderfully cool place to sit.” Across the back of the house, a mature wisteria provides stunning trailing colour in the summer, while planting at the front adds splashes of colour. “I have a lovely Japanese wisteria which we put in 34 years ago, , it's a really beautiful one. I also have three camellias at the front. I’ll miss them, but somebody else will enjoy them.” Within the garden, a mix of pots, beds and fruit trees provide colour, interest and, in good years, plenty of fruit – if you’ve ever dreamt of making jam or enjoy home baking, this garden should provide. “I've had a most wonderful crop of Victoria plums. We haven’t had as many apples this year as last year. But the plums are absolutely wonderful this year. I’ve been giving them away left, right and centre.” Parking The house has two approaches from the lane: the first via the main driveway to the front of the house, where there’s a double garage and parking for about 4/5 cars, with another entrance just beyond this to the side of the house, where there’s additional parking for another 4/5 cars. There is also a very large shed for storage and the location of the LPG tank. This home can accommodate a lot of visitors or an owner with a passion for cars. “We have the front drive, and down the lane, there's the back drive. There's parking there for about five cars, six cars. But when everyone's here, it's great because everyone can get squeezed in.” “When we have all the family here, they'll just look in the front drive and if that's full, they’ll just open the double gates at the next drive and come in and park there.” There is also a large shed In the area A popular village that originated in medieval times, today Inkpen is increasingly popular with families looking for a quieter, simpler, safer, more rural way of life. There is a great cricket ground and pavilion and a very popular playground. “There are lots of newer people coming in, younger people, which is good for the village. It's a very good village school, apparently. So that gets a lot of people in.” “Inkpen is a very friendly village. There's always something going on. I'm not as involved as I was, but there's loads of activities. And a village newsletter.” For dining out, the popular gastro pub, the Crown and Garter, which dates back to 1640, is just a short walk away. It is also home to the Honesty Café and bakery, both highly regarded. “There's a lovely walk through the woods. It takes about 10 minutes, then you're at the Crown and Garter. So if you suddenly decide you don’t want to cook, you can say ‘Oh, let's go and have a meal there’. They have a very nice coffee shop too. “When I had a dog, he used to find his own way there, cadging all sorts of treats from people.” “You can buy bread at the Crown, and one or two people sell fresh eggs nearby, you just leave the money in an honesty box.” In addition, for something Michelin-listed Woodspeen, Vineyard, Goat on the Roof and Malverleys are all within a short drive. This is great walking country, with walks through the woods and across the fields up to the hills and the famous Coombe Gibbet. “It's a super walking area. I mean, people drive their cars out here and park at the Crown to go for a walk.” For culture, you have the iconic and award-winning Watermill Theatre (also a dining location), Arlington Arts, the Corn Exchange and the Living Rainforest. The town centres of Newbury and Hungerford are eight and five miles away respectively. Both offer a range of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and amenities. Additionally, Newbury has a multi-screen cinema and a Racecourse that regularly hosted Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth and members of the royal family. Several golf courses can be found in and around the area, including Donnington & Co hotel, spa and golf club, Deanwood Park Golf Club, Donnington Grove Golf Club and Newbury & Crookham Golf Club. Good to know Some insights from our homeowner. “There is no light pollution here at all. There's no streetlight, nothing. You have wonderful black skies. It's lovely if you're into stargazing. It's just the best of best places.” “Inkpen is in one of the areas of outstanding natural beauty.” “We’re not overlooked by anybody. It’s lovely and peaceful here. The neighbours have had horses, there is lots of stabling and paddocks nearby” Transport links By car The main east-west and north-south arteries of the M4 and A34 are both approx. 15-minutes’ drive away, giving access to London, Bristol and Cornwall, as well as Oxford, Birmingham and the south coast.

For those seeking an exceptional country lifestyle, this is a property with the space, setting and facilities to make that aspiration a reality. Seller Insight There is a particular feeling you get when you realise you have found somewhere that could become entirely your own. For us, that was Pointers. We arrived to find a house with no immediate neighbours and 15 acres of land around it and immediately saw the possibilities. It was a blank canvas, somewhere we could create an easily maintained, natural refuge for wildlife, while making a home for ourselves and our dogs. I grew up in the countryside and, as a child, learnt to notice and appreciate nature and animals. That connection has always stayed with me, and at Pointers we have been able to create the kind of environment we love. Every tree, hedge, pond, paddock and walkway has been planned and planted by us, with the aim of making the land beautiful while encouraging as much wildlife as possible. What was once a bare stubble field has become a rich and varied habitat, with small woods threaded by paths and rides. The ponds have become a particularly special part of the landscape. There are two: a formal, fenced pond close to the house, complete with a waterfall and ornamental ducks, and a much larger flight pond towards the southern end of the property, which attracts an abundance of wildfowl. Visiting ducks and geese regularly nest on the island in the middle of the pond, adding to the feeling that the wildlife here is very much part of everyday life. There is something new to discover every day. We have an outstanding variety of butterflies and moths, as well as dragonflies, slow worms, grass snakes, foxes, badgers and deer. The birdlife is particularly wonderful, with swallows, barn owls, raptors, game birds and countless other species making use of the land. Quiet evening walks often bring the chance to see deer moving through the paddocks, while the ponds provide a constant source of activity and birdsong. We are passionate about pointing dogs, so having space to train them was another important part of creating Pointers. The paddocks have also provided a wonderfully useful setting for sheep, horses and ponies, and have even been borrowed by a local farmer for cows and calves. Over time, the land has become home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife and mammal species, while still remaining a practical and enjoyable part of the way we live. The house itself has more than doubled in size since we bought it, evolving alongside the landscape. It has become a spacious and comfortable family home, with generous reception rooms, a large kitchen and living area overlooking the surrounding farmland, and bedrooms enjoying views across the gardens, paddocks and countryside. Sitting slightly elevated on a natural rise, Pointers enjoys an amazing open outlook, with views extending well beyond the property's own land across the surrounding farmland and countryside. The elevated position means these far-reaching views can be enjoyed from both the ground and first floors, adding to the wonderful sense of space and seclusion. There are plenty of practical spaces too, including the garages, workshop, utility, stables and purpose-built kennels, which have all made the property work beautifully for the way we have lived here. Looking back, we feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to take a neglected property and create not simply a home, but a whole environment, one that continues to surprise and delight us with its wildlife, peace and sense of connection to nature.

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 accommodation extends to approximately 5,486 sq ft, arranged over three floors, and offers outstanding versatility. An integral west wing can function as guest accommodation, a self-contained annexe or a professional home office with independent access. . Principal Reception Spaces. The formal entrance hall, with its striking Victorian pseudo-Jacobean staircase, sets an immediate tone of elegance. Limestone floors with underfloor heating flow through much of the ground floor, creating cohesion and understated luxury, alongside air-conditioning in various rooms. The open-plan kitchen/breakfast room is a superb family and entertaining space, measuring over 25 feet in length. Dual aspect, it features bi-fold doors opening onto the rear terrace, a traditional five-oven AGA set within a substantial chimney breast, and a newly fitted Shaker-style kitchen with quartz work surfaces and a central island. Sliding doors lead through to a generous dining room, seamlessly connecting to the orangery beyond. This beautifully designed space enjoys south and east-facing glazing, a lantern roof with electronic ventilation, air conditioning, and bespoke cabinetry an exceptional vantage point from which to enjoy the gardens and far-reaching views throughout the seasons. Further reception rooms include a characterful library/sitting room within the original 16th-century structure, featuring rich panelling, extensive shelving and a wood-burning stove, as well as a snug/cinema room and a refined study with stained glass bay window. Bedroom Accommodation. The principal suite occupies a prime position on the first floor and has been conceived in the style of a luxury hotel. It includes a private drawing room with original fireplace, a serene bedroom with fitted storage, and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom with roll-top bath and walk-in shower. There are six further bedrooms arranged across the upper floors, most with en suite facilities, combining historic charm exposed beams, leaded windows and vaulted ceilings with modern comfort and excellent storage.

N.B. - The cottage shown on the floor plan by the main gates is not included within the sale but can be acquired by separate negotiation. Gardens and paddock: The 3.5 acres of gardens and paddock are a defining feature of Bolebec House and have changed little since Whistler`s time. Formal gardens immediately surround the house, with terraces, lawns and mature planting designed to frame the panoramic views. Beyond lie parkland-style gardens enclosed by hedging and fencing, dotted with specimen trees and apple orchards. A charming water garden with pond, waterfall and stone bridge adds to the sense of tranquillity. Situation.

Nestled in the heart of Whitwell, a charming and community-oriented village on the south of the Isle of Wight, Strathwell House is an architectural gem discreetly positioned within a secluded half-acre plot. Completed in August 2022, this stunning home was designed by acclaimed RIBA award-winning architect Lincoln Miles, known for his appearances on Channel 4’s Grand Designs. In collaboration with the current owners and local builder Richard Dowers, the property reflects a bespoke vision that blends contemporary open-plan living with a wonderful connection to the open fields that sit beyond the home.   From the moment you arrive, the property impresses with its understated cedar-clad exterior, which conceals approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of meticulously designed living space. A private gated entrance opens onto a gravel driveway, offering ample parking and access to the detached double garage, complete with power, and an electric door. The thoughtful design fully embraces the plot’s gently sloping topography, resulting in a unique layout that maximizes natural light and sweeping countryside views.   Inside, luxury and practicality unite in perfect harmony. The spacious open-plan living and dining area flows seamlessly into a high-specification kitchen featuring top-brand appliances, including Neff double ovens, a microwave, and a coffee machine. A built-in Airforce induction hob with an integrated rising extractor and high-end finishes ensures this kitchen is as functional as it is stylish. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room, with a large plant room and separate cloakroom. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors from the spacious dining area open onto a paved terrace, with a heated infinity pool at its center—a true highlight for entertaining or simply enjoying on peaceful summer days.   The property offers three beautifully appointed bedroom suites, each with its own character and purpose. Two ground-floor guest bedrooms feature en-suite shower rooms and access to private courtyards, ensuring privacy and comfort for visitors. The principal suite, elevated at the rear of the home, includes a luxurious en-suite bathroom, a large dressing room, and a stunning wall of windows that create a floating-in-the-trees effect, making it the perfect retreat to unwind and take in the local wildlife.   The lower ground floor is a versatile space with its own entrance and shower room, making it ideal for use as a self-contained annex, home office, or additional living area. Currently fitted with a bar area, for entertaining and use as a games room, this area has been cleverly designed to allow for easy conversion into separate accommodation if desired. Throughout the property, underfloor heating powered by an air-source heat pump ensures comfort, while discreet internal blinds, LED lighting, and thoughtfully positioned external power sockets enhance convenience and style.   The outdoor space is equally impressive. The terraced rear garden offers a peaceful escape, bordered by a neighboring equestrian paddock and a brook. A beautifully landscaped path leads down through lawned areas, vegetable beds, and a polytunnel to a serene nature pool that integrates with the surrounding environment. The attenuation pond adds a functional and ecological benefit in its design, located at the rear of the plot.     WHAT THE OWNER SAYS:   Strathwell House has enabled us to enjoy being in the heart of Whitwell village’s vibrant community whilst nestled in a quiet rural plot that affords far reaching views of the surrounding downs. It has been a great home that was designed to be sociable and in which to host and entertain our family and friends.   Our historic village pub The White Horse Inn, is a couple of minutes’ walk away and is popular with visitors and locals alike. It has been a great place to make new friends and to socialise.   The neighbouring village of Niton has all the facilities we need day to day and is but a two-minute drive from Whitwell or an easy 20-minute walk away. Ventnor is our nearest town and has some great restaurants and pubs offering a wide range of cuisines. The town also offers a variety of locally owned independent shops that we love to support.   The footpaths and bridleways that criss-cross the village enable us to access the nearby cliff paths and to walk up to the surrounding downland where we enjoy spectacular island wide views when walking our friendly dog.

Combining striking contemporary architecture with exceptional sustainability credentials and spectacular panoramic views across the London skyline, this is a home that offers a lifestyle every bit as impressive as its design. Extending to almost 3,000 sq ft and arranged over three beautifully conceived levels, the property delivers a rare blend of architectural flair, practical family living and remarkable versatility. Ground Floor - The principal living space is nothing short of spectacular. A magnificent double-height reception room forms the heart of the home, where floor-to-ceiling glazing creates a dramatic backdrop of ever-changing city views stretching across London's skyline. Flooded with natural light throughout the day, this remarkable space offers an atmosphere that is both grand and inviting. A full-width balcony extends seamlessly from the reception room, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, al fresco dining or simply enjoying the stunning sunsets for which this elevated west-facing position is renowned. The contemporary kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to combine functionality with style, featuring sleek cabinetry, quality work surfaces and integrated appliances. Large glazed openings connect the space to the balcony beyond, allowing indoor and outdoor living to merge effortlessly while ensuring the spectacular views remain a constant feature of everyday life. Accomodation - The accommodation has been carefully arranged to provide flexibility for modern family living. The principal suite occupies the upper floor, creating a luxurious private retreat complete with bespoke storage, an elegant en-suite bathroom and a unique mezzanine study overlooking the dramatic reception room below. For those working from home, this elevated workspace offers one of the most inspiring office environments imaginable, with uninterrupted views stretching across the capital. The lower level provides further versatile accommodation, including additional bedrooms, bathroom facilities, utility rooms and flexible studio space, perfectly suited for guests, older children, multi-generational living, creative pursuits or home working. The adaptability of the layout ensures the property can evolve alongside the changing needs of its owners. Externally - Outside, the west-facing rear garden provides a private and tranquil setting from which to enjoy the spectacular outlook. The changing colours of the evening sky provide a daily spectacle, while the elevated position ensures a remarkable sense of openness and privacy rarely found within London. Off-street parking and a garage complete the practical aspects of this highly individual home. Location - Ringmore Rise is widely regarded as one of Forest Hill's most sought-after residential addresses. Quiet and leafy, yet exceptionally convenient, the location offers the perfect balance between urban connectivity and green open space. The beautiful grounds of Horniman Gardens and Horniman Museum and Gardens are moments away, providing acres of landscaped gardens, family attractions and some of South London's finest viewpoints.
