Presented by James Cooper - Part of By Design’s network, with more than 25 years’ experience in the South Devon premium property market. Introduction Lillies is a striking contemporary home in a wonderfully peaceful position on the edge of Christow, within Dartmoor National Park and looking out across the Teign Valley. There is a calmness to the house that is immediately apparent. Light pours in through large expanses of glazing, the views are drawn into the main living spaces, and the layout has been designed to feel open, easy and sociable. Yet this is not simply a quiet retreat. Lillies is also a great house for entertaining, with generous open plan living space, terraces, bi-fold doors, a built-in wood fired oven and a natural flow between inside and out. It is the kind of house that works just as well for slow mornings and peaceful evenings as it does for parties, family gatherings and long summer lunches. Set in around 2.67 acres, with gardens, paddock, woodland, a triple garage and a separate studio, Lillies offers space, privacy and flexibility, sitting on the edge of Christow village, while still being in easy reach of Exeter, the A38, A30 and M5. The Inside The house has a distinctive contemporary design, with white rendered elevations, honey-coloured stone and a slate roof with deep eaves. Inside, the feeling is light, open and calming, with floor to ceiling windows helping to frame the outlook and bring the outside in. The main living space sits at the heart of the house. The sitting room, dining area and kitchen/breakfast room work together beautifully, creating a sociable layout that feels relaxed and practical for everyday life, while also being ideal for entertaining. The sitting and dining areas are interlinked and share an exposed stone wall with a double-sided fireplace, giving warmth and character to the contemporary interior. Large sliding doors open directly onto the terrace and garden, so in the warmer months the house can open up and flow naturally outside. One of the more unexpected features is the study space, accessed via a hidden bookshelf door off the living room. It is a lovely detail and gives the house a sense of fun, while also providing a useful quiet space for working from home, reading or escaping from the busier parts of the house. The kitchen/breakfast room is generous and well planned, with plenty of space around a large central island and a wide oak work surface for informal dining. It has a relaxed country feel, with farmhouse-style units, built-in electric appliances and a slate tiled floor, but the layout keeps it firmly part of the main living and entertaining space. A real highlight is the built-in wood fired oven, perfect for pizza, roasts or relaxed cooking whatever the weather. The bi-fold doors beside it open directly onto the rear patio, making this a brilliant space for hosting, with food, drinks and guests moving easily between the kitchen and outside. Also on the ground floor are a utility room, boot room and cloakroom, which are all valuable additions for a home with land, gardens and plenty of outdoor space. Upstairs, the part-galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite includes a large dressing room with built-in wardrobes, an en suite bath and shower room, and its own balcony overlooking the garden, grounds and the views beyond. The guest bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the two further double bedrooms are served by the family bath and shower room. Two of the bedrooms also have access to a further balcony, again making the most of the outlook. The Outside Lillies is approached down a lane, with a gated turn-off leading into a large gravelled parking area with space for several vehicles. One of the real strengths outside is the garage building. This is a substantial detached structure and far more than just garaging. On the ground floor there is a triple garage, providing excellent storage and parking, but the scale of the building means it could lend itself to a wide range of future uses, depending on someone’s needs. It could work well for car storage, bikes, workshop space, a gym, hobbies, or potentially something more ambitious, subject to any necessary permissions. Above the garage is a really spacious studio with its own shower and WC. This gives the property a huge amount of flexibility. It could make a fantastic home office, creative studio, guest space or ancillary accommodation to the main house. There may also be potential for it to be used as a holiday let, subject to the necessary permissions. The gardens wrap mainly around the eastern side of the house, where a paved terrace looks over the lawn and out towards the paddock beyond. The lawn is bordered by post and rail fencing, creating a natural divide between the immediate garden and the land. There is also a further paved terrace to the front of the house, which faces west and enjoys the evening sun, but it is the rear garden that really adds to the way the house can be enjoyed. From the kitchen, bi-fold doors open directly onto a large patio area, creating a natural entertaining space that works wonderfully, especially with the built-in wood fired oven. From here, a sloped path leads up to a level lawn, where there is a summer house with power. This could work well as a garden store, home office, studio or simply a quiet garden room, depending on how a new owner wants to use the space. A further path leads down the side of the property to a covered seating area, ideal for sitting outside when you want to escape the sun or enjoy the garden in a more sheltered spot. Together, these outside spaces give Lillies a lovely balance. It is peaceful and calming day to day, but also a brilliant house for entertaining, with space for summer lunches, drinks with friends, family gatherings and pizza evenings whatever the weather. Behind the garage is a small area of woodland and the paddock lies beyond the garden and is bounded by a stream along the northern side. Altogether, the gardens, paddock and woodland amount to approx 2.67 acres. Location Lillies is tucked away, but not isolated, on the western side of the Teign Valley within Dartmoor National Park. Christow village centre is approximately 0.7 miles away and offers a good range of local amenities, including a community shop, doctor's surgery, a primary school, church, pub and community hall. The surrounding countryside is a major part of the appeal. The property sits close to Tottiford and Kennick reservoirs, with Dartmoor, the Teign Valley and open countryside on your doorstep, making this a wonderful area for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors. Moretonhampstead is around 6 miles away and offers further day-to-day amenities, while Exeter city centre is approximately 10 miles away, providing a much wider choice of shops, restaurants, schools, transport links and cultural facilities. The property is well connected by road, with the A38 Devon Expressway just 7 miles away, the A30 around 8 miles and the M5 motorway within 10 miles. Exeter St David's station, around 10 miles away, offers regular high-speed services to London Paddington and Waterloo, while Exeter Airport is 15.5 miles away. There is a good choice of schooling within easy reach, including the primary school in Christow, and independent schools such as Stover School, Exeter School, Exeter Cathedral School and The Maynard.

Presented by James Cooper - Part of By Design’s network, with more than 25 years’ experience in the South Devon premium property market. Introduction Combe Barn occupies a wonderful position on the edge of Lustleigh, one of Dartmoor’s most sought after villages. Set within approximately 8.30 acres of garden, paddock and woodland, the property offers a superb combination of space, privacy, village access and immediate access to the surrounding countryside. The house itself is far larger than it first appears, extending to approximately 5,358 sq ft and providing generous, flexible accommodation arranged over two principal levels. With five double bedrooms, impressive reception space, a striking vaulted living room and lovely views across the wooded valley, this is a substantial home in a very special Dartmoor setting. The current owners acquired Combe Barn in 2007 with planning consent in place to demolish and build a new dwelling. Rather than lose the character of the original barn, they saw the potential to retain and rebuild the barn element while adding a significant new wing. The project was completed in 2009, creating the spacious and individual home seen today. The Inside The approach to the house leads to an impressive covered entrance, opening into a large hallway. From here, the scale of the property quickly becomes apparent. There is a wide staircase rising to the first floor, a cloakroom, and excellent space for coats, boots and everyday country living. The hallway continues past one of the double bedrooms, which has direct access out onto the terrace, before opening into the main living room. This is one of the standout spaces within the house, with a high vaulted ceiling, galleried landing above, and a substantial stone fireplace creating a strong focal point. Two sets of doors open directly onto the terrace, where the outlook stretches across the wooded valley beyond. Beyond the living room is a substantial games room, currently arranged with a full-sized snooker table. This is a wonderfully versatile space and could suit a variety of uses depending on lifestyle. From here there is access to a further bedroom, an office and a bathroom, with a staircase leading up to the kitchen area. On the first floor, the galleried landing overlooks the living room below and leads into the kitchen breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with modern units and enjoys views out over the grounds and down the valley. A door also provides direct access outside, adding practicality to the layout. An opening leads through to the dining room, another generous space with a window to the side, three rooflights and a glazed wall overlooking the living room. It creates an enjoyable connection between the main living areas while still giving each space its own identity. At the other end of the landing are three large double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a staircase leading down to a particularly large bathroom and dressing room, creating a private suite with excellent proportions. The Outside For those who enjoy the outdoors, Combe Barn offers a wonderful amount of space and variety. The property sits in approximately 8.30 acres, made up of gardens, paddock and woodland, giving a real sense of privacy and freedom. The terrace is positioned to make the most of the views across the valley and provides a lovely place to sit, eat outside or simply enjoy the surroundings. From the land, you can walk through towards the community orchard and into the village, which adds enormously to the lifestyle appeal of the property. There are two driveways, a garage and an old stable, currently used for storage. The mix of garden, woodland, paddock and outbuildings gives the property flexibility, whether for family life, outdoor hobbies, animals, or simply enjoying a quieter Dartmoor lifestyle. Location Lustleigh is one of Dartmoor’s most attractive and popular villages, known for its pretty period homes, strong community, surrounding countryside and access to some of the National Park’s finest walking routes. From Combe Barn, the village centre can be reached on foot in around 10 minutes. Here you will find the village pub, church, community shop and post office, tea rooms and the community orchard. Walking down along the leat brings you to the cricket pitch, while continuing further opens up some of the area’s best countryside routes. For those who enjoy walking, riding or simply being outside, the location is superb. Lustleigh Cleave, Wrayland, Hisley Bridge, the river valley, Foxworthy and Manaton are all part of the wider landscape that makes this part of Dartmoor so loved. It is an exceptional place for those who want a genuine village and countryside lifestyle. Despite the rural feel, the property is not isolated. Exeter is approximately 20 miles away and the M5 can be reached in under 30 minutes. Newton Abbot is around a 20-minute drive and provides a wider range of shops, supermarkets and everyday amenities, as well as a mainline railway station with services to London Paddington taking from approximately 2.5 hours.

Approached down the leafy Forge Lane the property is accessed via a driveway with plenty of parking. The attractive Victorian house features original multi-pane casement and sash windows, chimneystacks and a pitched roof porch. There is a reception area with stairs to the first floor and a very wide beamed archway to the cosy sitting room. This has a log burning stove and is just the place to relax and enjoy a quiet read. While the ‘heart of the house’ is the superb triple aspect L-shaped family space that includes a seating area where you can spend time with the kids and a spacious dining area for friends and family to enjoy sitting round a table together. The contemporary kitchen area is a delight for anyone who enjoys catering as it includes an inset range cooker, a variety of charming country style units with a selection of built in appliances, French doors to the garden and access to the large utility room and a cloakroom. Upstairs there is a well-appointed modern family bathroom and four individually designed double bedrooms all with fabulous and far-reaching rural views. One is currently in use as an office, another has fitted shelving and hanging space while the triple aspect principal suite includes an ensuite shower room. Another excellent feature of this property is the charming single story barn conversion annex. The stylish design includes an open plan living space with a kitchen, seating and dining areas as well as a light and bright double bedroom and a shower room. This would make an excellent home for an adult family member or elderly relative or perhaps a groom. Alternatively, it would also be ideal as a country holiday let. While the other barn could also be converted for family or guests or could make an ideal gym, games room and bar or another income generating air b and b, subject to permissions and consent. The superb and well-designed equestrian facilities are ideal for those who want the best for their horses. Much of the 4.66 acres of grounds is given over to well fenced paddocks, while the large manège provides an excellent training ground whatever the weather. The spacious stable block includes three well-maintained stables, a hay store and plenty of space for grooming and tacking up under cover. While it is just a 10-minute walk along Forge Lane to Ashdown Forest for those delightful off-road hacks where you can not only enjoy a ride but also the woodland, the heath and the local wildlife including a wide variety of birds, deer, badgers, weasels, foxes and stoats. You can also come across grazing animals including Exmoor ponies as well as rare breed cattle and sheep. While the stables are impressive the gardens are a delight. There is a large terrace with charming shrub and rockery borders where you can entertain your friends or just revel in the views across Ashdown Forest and beyond. This is bordered by swathes of lawn surrounded by trees, shrubs and high hedging providing privacy and seclusion What the Owner says, This has been a delightful home for us and our horses for the past nine years and we are only leaving because we feel it is time to downsize. We fell in love with the uninterrupted views over Ashdown Forest and the countryside, the charming characterful house and the excellent equestrian facilities including access to the forest. We also enjoy the fact that it is very secluded but, at the same time, it is only a five minute drive to Marks and Spencer and Home Bargains, which provide for our daily needs while we can walk to the lovely Foresters Arms for a drink and a meal in about 10 minutes. Horney Common is a popular destination for nature lovers as it is home to a variety of wildlife. It is about a mile and half from the villages of Maresfield and Nutley and not far from Uckfield. Maresfield includes the Bonners primary school and the delightful 18th Century Chequers coaching in hotel and pub/restaurant. There are also tennis, cricket, football and gymnastics clubs as well as a village store and post office. While Nutley offers a Londis, a farm shop, a petrol station, a bowls club and a primary school as well as the cosy Nutley Arms and the Hatch Inn located in the forest and for golfing aficionados there are the Piltdown and Royal Ashdown Forest clubs. Uckfield includes two supermarkets, a cinema and leisure center with a swimming pool as well as a variety of independent shops and eateries. The railway station provides direct trains to London Bridge taking an hour and 20 minutes while Uckfield College secondary school is rated Outstanding by Ofsted as is the Beacon Academy in Crowborough. With regard to private education there are a number of excellent schools in the vicinity including Cumnor House and Mayfield

Introduction Canonteign Manor is one of Devon’s most remarkable historic houses, set within around 10 acres in the beautiful Teign Valley. Grade I Listed and with origins reaching back centuries, it offers exceptional scale, character and presence, together with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. With its ancient stonework, mullion windows, granite fireplaces, grand reception spaces and wonderfully private grounds, it is a significant and atmospheric country property. Canonteign Manor was used as a private residential dwelling for many years prior to its change of use and, subject to the necessary planning consent, could once again make a wonderful home. Before arranging a viewing or making enquiries, interested parties should be aware of the current permitted use of the property, which is explained below. Planning Information Canonteign Manor is currently permitted for use as Sui Generis Holiday Let. The current owners obtained planning permission in 2019 to change the use of the property from C3 Residential Dwelling House to its present holiday let use. As such, buyers should be aware that the property is not currently permitted for unrestricted residential occupation as a C3 dwelling. Should a buyer wish to use Canonteign Manor as a private residential home, a change of use planning application would be required. By Design has contact with experienced planning consultants who are familiar with matters of this nature, and further guidance can be made available to interested parties should they require it. Buyers should make their own enquiries and take independent planning advice before proceeding. History A Domesday Manor, Canonteign was given to the canons of St Mary du Val in Normandy circa 1125 and later conveyed to the Prior and convent of Merton, in Surrey. After the Reformation it was granted to Lord John Russell and then passed through a series of owners. It was garrisoned for the King during the Civil War and taken by Fairfax in 1645. According to Lysons, it belonged to the Davy family in the 17th century. In 1812, Sir Edward Pellew, later Lord Viscount Exmouth, purchased the manor and it became a farm after 1828 when Exmouth built Canonteign House close by. It was restored by Lady Exmouth in the 1970s and, during recent years, the ancient house has been brought into the 21st century with extensive and sympathetic renovation. Today, Canonteign Manor is an extraordinary and beautifully maintained historic property, combining the character of its 400-year-old origins with the comfort and convenience of modern technology. It has been sympathetically cared for to ensure it continues to stand proudly for decades to come. Interior The real magic of Canonteign Manor is its generously proportioned and elegant rooms, which, although lit from mullion windows, are both tall and light. Most of the principal rooms have a focal point of a granite fireplace and enjoy spectacular views across the valley of the River Teign. From the main entrance, you step into the dining hall, an impressive space by anyone’s standards. With a stone floor, intricate wood panelling on the walls and beautiful stone mullion windows, it is a very special space indeed, with a substantial dining table which comfortably seats twenty guests. A large open fireplace provides a beautiful focal point. Moving through the dining hall, there is access into the cloakroom and rear entrance. There is also a staircase to the first floor. The kitchen has been very well designed to fill a large space without it feeling overwhelming. There is a large central island and plenty of storage. The AGA sits on one side of the room and the owner has added a large oven and hob to the other. Double doors open into the breakfast room, which has a grand fireplace with wood burner, creating another generous reception space. On the other side of the house, there is a spacious study, a snooker room and a formal sitting room. Each room has been decorated sympathetically in neutral tones to enhance the natural beauty of the building’s windows, stonework and period features. The main reception rooms are fitted with wood burners, creating inviting spaces in winter. The current owners have enhanced the property with LED lighting, refurbished bathrooms and carried out extensive work to the roof. There are two staircases which access the first floor, where you’ll find the bedrooms. The largest rooms are at either end of the house. The principal bedroom suite has been improved with the renovation of the ensuite to create a luxury space with high-quality fittings and finish. The principal bedroom is accessed via the dressing room, where there are numerous built-in wardrobes. The second and third bedrooms are also of a generous size and accommodate large four-poster beds. There are seven further bedrooms, all of which are bright, inviting spaces. They either have ensuite facilities or are very close to facilities. From the landing, a staircase takes you up to the second floor. The amount of space here is a real surprise, with exposed wooden beams, plenty of light and gorgeous elevated views across the grounds, valley and hills beyond. The main space here has previously been used as a comprehensive gymnasium but could suit a number of different uses, subject to any necessary consents. It leads into another substantial room which is set up as a games and TV room. It is large enough to create a cinema space if desired. Also on this floor are various store rooms, as well as a room with steam and sauna facilities and a further room currently set up as a massage/treatment room. The staff apartment, also on this floor, provides a generous living/dining room with lovely views, a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and double bedroom. Exterior The house stands in simply landscaped grounds which include large areas of lawn and a park-like field providing space for grazing if required. The grounds are approached through a pair of electrically operated tall gates opening onto the gravelled drive, which leads to a generous parking and turning area beside the house. There is a further garden space to the far side of the house. Steps lead down to the outdoor swimming pool and large level lawn. The pool is currently decommissioned and may require attention before being brought back into use. This remains a lovely, private and sheltered area of the grounds to enjoy the sunshine. The grounds stretch to around 10 acres in total and gently slope to the lower boundary. The boundary is made up of mature trees, giving excellent privacy in all directions. Canonteign Manor is one of the South West’s most significant ancient houses. Presented in good condition and situated in a spectacular yet convenient location, it offers a remarkable combination of history, scale, privacy and setting. Location The nearest village is Christow, which also overlooks the Teign Valley and is popular due to both its location and good range of community facilities, including pub, village school, shop, sports fields, doctor’s surgery and clubs. Bovey Tracey, the popular town on the edge of Dartmoor, is around 10 minutes’ drive away. You’ll find a range of amenities there, along with the popular Devon Guild of Craftsmen. Exeter is a short drive away, accessible either via the A38 dual carriageway or the very scenic Teign Valley road and B3212. This lovely Cathedral city offers many restaurants and high-quality shopping outlets. There is also a very popular university and excellent range of schooling.

A truly exceptional and lovingly crafted bespoke residence, set on one of Leicestershire's most coveted addresses. 77 Gartree Road is not simply a house. It is the product of an uncompromising vision, rebuilt from the ground up to an extraordinary standard that rarely presents itself to the open market. From the moment the electric gates part, the scale, quality and presence of this remarkable home become immediately apparent. Extending to approximately 6,730 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation across three floors, this is a home conceived for modern family life without compromise. Seven bedrooms, five en suite shower rooms, a separate family bathroom, and a dedicated ground floor WC and boot room upon arrival. The configuration is as considered as the specification is impressive. Ground Floor Arrival is through a substantial entrance hall measuring almost 33 feet in length, an immediately commanding space that sets the tone for everything that follows. To the left, a generous lounge spanning over 19 feet by 17 feet provides a refined retreat, while the ground floor bedroom with its own en suite offers ideal flexibility for guests, extended family or multigenerational living. A separate sitting room, utility room, boot room and WC complete the practical ground floor offering. At the heart of the home sits the extraordinary family room, a vast open plan space measuring an impressive 25 by 33 feet, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen which stretches to over 22 feet in width. This is the true engine room of the house, a space designed for the way families actually live: gathering, cooking, entertaining and relaxing under one roof, filled with natural light and anchored by the spectacular two metre gas fireplace. Air conditioning ensures comfort throughout the seasons. The integral double garage with automatic door connects directly to the home and measures a generous 19 by 17 feet. One of the final touches remaining is the kitchen, presenting the new owner with a blank canvas to create the bespoke kitchen space of their dreams within an otherwise turnkey home. First Floor The American walnut staircase with wrought iron spindles rises to a truly spectacular landing, an expansive space at almost 32 by 35 feet, bathed in natural light through feature windows and providing a genuine sense of architectural occasion rarely found in residential property. Six bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, each beautifully proportioned. Two principal bedroom suites each benefit from their own dedicated dressing room and private en suite, including one suite where the dressing room extends to over 10 feet by 17 feet. A further bedroom enjoys its own en suite, while two additional double bedrooms share a luxuriously appointed family bathroom. Every bathroom is finished with Porcelanosa porcelain tiling, Geberit flush systems and Pelipal vanity units with integrated LED lighting. Second Floor A seventh bedroom occupies the second floor alongside a WC and store room, creating a wonderfully private and versatile space. Perfect as a teenager's retreat, a home office suite, or a self contained guest room away from the main household. Specification Throughout the home, the specification has been assembled with exceptional care. Graspania porcelain tiles cover the ground floor. Triple glazed windows feature throughout. Underfloor heating runs across both ground and first floors with individual room thermostats. Three phase electricity supply and CAT 6 cabling in every room future proof the property for generations. The smart home system brings app controlled lighting, electric blinds, intercom and cameras together in one seamless platform. A comprehensive CCTV system with panic buttons and an app controlled alarm provide unrivalled security and peace of mind. Solid wall construction with full cavity insulation underpins the EPC B rating, a genuine reflection of the quality and integrity of the build. Infrastructure is already in place, including hot and cold water, gas and drainage connections, for a future annexe or outbuilding should further space ever be desired. Outside, the gardens have been landscaped to create a generous yet manageable private space, perfectly suited to family life and outdoor entertaining. Location Gartree Road is one of Oadby's most prestigious and sought after tree lined roads, widely regarded as among the finest addresses in the LE2 postcode and synonymous with substantial, high quality family homes of real standing. The University of Leicester Botanic Garden, 16 acres of beautifully cultivated grounds founded in 1921, sits within easy reach, providing a remarkable green space and a place of quiet beauty on the doorstep. Leicester Racecourse, Parklands Leisure Centre and Glen Gorse Golf Club are also close by, providing excellent leisure and recreational variety for the whole family. Oadby town centre on The Parade offers a great range of shops including Sainsbury's, Asda and Lidl, alongside pubs, restaurants and everyday conveniences. The fashionable independent boutiques, cafés and restaurants of Allandale Road and Francis Street in nearby Stoneygate are equally accessible, providing a more boutique daily experience. For families, the schooling on offer is exceptional. Leicester Grammar School, Leicester High School for Girls, Stoneygate School and Beauchamp College are all within easy reach, alongside Gartree High School and Manor High School within Oadby itself. Leicester city centre is less than three miles away, and Leicester Railway Station provides direct services to London St Pancras in just over an hour, making this an outstanding choice for commuters seeking space and quality without sacrificing connectivity.

Originally part of the prestigious `Drakes Estate,` the current owners have maintained the property since 1979. The Grade II listed Aisle barn, one of the few of its kind remaining in Buckinghamshire, dates back around 450 years, though its exact age remains unknown. The barn was originally constructed with five bays, all fully aisled, and stands as a rare example of historic craftsmanship. The charming cottage, once a stable, adds character to the overall property. Nestled in the scenic hamlet of Woodrow, High Barn Farm and Shires Yard occupy a prime elevated position, offering breathtaking views of the Chiltern countryside within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property sits on a plot of approximately 0.75 acres, with the exciting potential to purchase additional land to the front of the site. Currently Contains * Barn One - A four bedroom conversion with kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, four bedrooms and bathroom. * Barn Two - A two bedroom conversion with Kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. * Barn three - An undeveloped barn that could be converted into a two bedroom cottage (Subject to Planning) or Annexe. * Barn Four - This is attached to Barn One and remains undeveloped. So Subject to Planning this could double the size of Barn One, or be an independent property in its own right. Offering nearly 6,000 square feet of space (total), this property provides ample room for development or personal customisation. In 1982, part of the barn was converted, with two of its bays transformed into living space across two floors. This resulted in spacious accommodation, including four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room, two cloakrooms, a utility room, and a garage/store. The remaining three bays retain their original, vaulted design, with exposed oak timbers and a large, open space. Planning permission (CH/2017/0467/FA) was granted in March 2017 to further convert the remaining part of the barn into additional living space, adding another 800 sq. ft. to the property. Additionally, the adjoining stables were converted into a spacious end-terrace cottage, featuring two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room, two bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The property is complemented by extensive front gardens, mainly laid to lawn and featuring mature flowers, shrubs, and trees. The gravel driveways lead to both the front and rear of the property, with a large courtyard providing ample parking. The original open barn, with its tiled pitched roof, exposed beams, and brick work, offers covered parking for up to four vehicles. The barn store, at approximately 555 square feet, offers fantastic conversion potential into further living space, a studio, office, or other uses. Located within the picturesque hamlet of Woodrow, the property enjoys sweeping views over the Chiltern countryside. The hamlet is conveniently close to the market town of Amersham, where you`ll find an excellent selection of pubs, restaurants, boutique shops, and a supermarket. Amersham on the Hill, just two miles away, offers an overland and underground railway station, providing direct services to London Marylebone, Baker Street, Moorgate, and the City. The area boasts outstanding sporting facilities, with nearby golf courses at Harewood Downs, Beaconsfield, and Denham. Numerous footpaths and bridle ways provide scenic walking and riding routes through the Chilterns. Furthermore, the property is located within Green Belt land, a conservation area, and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the exciting possibility of acquiring additional land to expand the estate further.

Entrances rarely come as a grand as this flag stone hall, which invites you in to this home that is steeped in history and architectural features. Round the corner, a bespoke staircase is bathed in light which spills through an impression gothic-arched, chapel window. At the heart of the home, you will find, not one, but two kitchens. The formal kitchen, perfect for entertaining and gatherings, has been re-fitted with an extensive range of fitted units and central island with granite work surfaces, with a five oven Aga range, nestled within the original fireplace. The secondary, (spice), kitchen, is equipped with an equally extensive range of fitted units, complemented with high-spec appliances including a Samsung oven, Zanussi microwave and Neff dishwasher, making it an ideal, functional spice kitchen.

Asheston House, Pembrokeshire Some properties simply offer a beautiful home. Others offer an entirely different way of life. Asheston House is undoubtedly the latter. Set within approximately 9.22 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, paddocks and pasture in the heart of the North Pembrokeshire countryside, Asheston House is a remarkable country residence where history, sustainability and modern family living come together in effortless harmony. Hidden away along quiet country lanes, it enjoys complete privacy while remaining within easy reach of St Davids, Haverfordwest and the breathtaking coastline of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Believed to derive from ‘Trefasser’ – the dwelling place of Asser, the monk of St Davids and adviser to King Alfred – Asheston has been part of this landscape for centuries. Today, it continues that story as a home that has been carefully restored with immense patience and respect, preserving its heritage while embracing the very best of contemporary living. For more than twenty years, the current owners have invested not only in the buildings themselves, but in a vision. Every improvement has been thoughtfully considered, every material carefully chosen and every decision made with longevity in mind. The result is a home that feels authentic rather than restored, where original character sits comfortably alongside modern craftsmanship and exceptional energy efficiency. The heart of the home is a series of beautifully connected living spaces that encourage family life and effortless entertaining. The kitchen naturally becomes the place where everyone gathers, flowing into elegant dining and sitting areas where exposed stone walls, vaulted ceilings, handcrafted oak detailing and wood-burning stoves create warmth and atmosphere throughout. Large expanses of glazing frame the surrounding countryside, filling the house with natural light and creating a seamless connection between the home, its gardens and the landscape beyond. While rich in character, Asheston House is equally impressive behind the scenes. Long before sustainable living became fashionable, the property embraced renewable technologies including ground source heating, geothermal systems, solar energy, rainwater harvesting and underfloor heating, creating an exceptionally comfortable home with impressive environmental credentials and remarkably efficient running costs. The principal suite offers a peaceful sanctuary, complete with vaulted ceilings, a private balcony overlooking the grounds, a dressing room and an elegant en-suite. The remaining bedrooms provide generous accommodation for family and guests, while the self-contained annexe adds another layer of flexibility. Whether used for multigenerational living, independent relatives, guest accommodation, staff, a home office, creative studio or wellness space, it allows the property to adapt as life changes. Outside, Asheston House continues to impress. The gardens have been thoughtfully designed to provide colour, privacy and places to sit throughout the seasons before giving way to approximately 9.22 acres of paddocks and pasture. For those dreaming of an equestrian lifestyle, a smallholding, hobby farming or simply more space to enjoy the outdoors, the land offers exceptional versatility without ever feeling overwhelming. The substantial five-bay oak-framed coach house, complete with a hydraulic vehicle lift, together with workshops and useful outbuildings, provides outstanding practical space for vehicles, machinery, hobbies or business use, making the property equally suited to those working from home or pursuing lifestyle enterprises. Yet perhaps what makes Asheston House so special is its ability to become whatever its next owners need it to be. It is a wonderful family home, a peaceful rural retreat, a place to work from home surrounded by nature, or a legacy property to be enjoyed for generations. It offers privacy without isolation, luxury without excess and sustainability without compromise. For those seeking an even greater opportunity, Asheston House can also be acquired as part of the wider Asheston Estate, incorporating the award-winning Asheston Eco Barns. This creates an exceptional lifestyle property combining a luxurious private residence with an established holiday accommodation business and significant income potential. Additional acreage is also available by separate negotiation, allowing purchasers to create one of Pembrokeshire’s most significant private country estates, whether for multigenerational living, hospitality, equestrian pursuits or future diversification. Asheston House is more than an exceptional country home; it is a place where families can gather, businesses can grow, and a different pace of life can be embraced. Beautifully restored, remarkably efficient and deeply connected to its surroundings, it offers a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of an extraordinary Pembrokeshire property.

The first thing that strikes you when arriving at this magnificent property is the truly beautiful 32-acre setting. Private electronically operated gates swing open to a long driveway that sweeps up past paddocks to one side and light woodland to the other to a large parking and turning area and the triple garage with annex above. For those with equine interest the drive continues to a very well-appointed stable block, tractor store, workshop and gym/studio. From here you can hop in the 4x4 utility buggy (available by negotiation) and wizz out into your private woodland or over to the paddocks. The main house is accessed via a large entrance hall past the grand staircase and a tucked away office to a wonderful Kitchen/Breakfast room which forms part of a sympathetic extension which introduces a significant amount of natural light into this room via a large, glazed lantern as well as superb flow out into the garden through the French doors. A separate utility room, downstairs cloak room and shower room adds practicalities, and a charming drawing room is the ideal place makes a useful flexible secondary reception room. The principal living space is a stunning space comprising the original Living room with its stylish fireplace that now opens seamlessly into a striking orangery, creating a single capacious room enjoying excellent natural light from multiple windows, French Doors and a substantial roof lantern. Upstairs the Principal bedroom suite mirrors the generous proportions of the living space with a capacious bedroom, fitted dressing room and en-suite shower, and enjoys views over the lawn garden and onwards over the paddock. Four further bedrooms, a box room and two more bathrooms caters for large families or multiple guests. Add to this a large room on the second floor which could be used as another bedroom, playroom or office. What the owner says. Equestrian scope, great schooling, international connections and privacy were the major factors that drew us to this fantastic house and its grounds. The Equestrian facilities are first class with gently sloping paddocks enclosed by (equaline) fencing, stabling and outbuildings that easily cope with our 7 ponies. The nearby Marlborough House Vinehall school is excellent as was our first choice of school for our children. To have had the school so close and convenient has been a real bonus over the years. Gatwick and Heathrow are easily accessible as is the Coast and links to the continent, and train access to London is equally convenient. Perhaps more than anything the quality of life provided to a family of the gardens and grounds and the variety of daily experience is priceless. From pottering around in the formal garden, to enjoying watching the ponies in the paddock, through to settling down for the afternoon, based at the summer house and enjoying the pond with its fish and wildlife.  Walking the dog in our private wood must include a detour to the massive Lime Tree (believed to be one of the largest in Sussex) because it is so dramatic and a reminder like the constant birdsong and the glimpses of fleet-footed deer of the magnificence of nature. .
