luxury real estate for sale England, United Kingdom (page 46)

What the owner says: Living on Lighthouse Road in St Margaret’s Bay for over 50 years has been an absolute privilege, and it’s a place I will always speak about with real affection. The setting is truly special, tucked away in one of East Kent’s most picturesque coastal villages, where the landscape feels both dramatic and peaceful at the same time. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of calm that comes from being so close to the sea, the cliffs and the open countryside. What I’ve loved most is the balance this location offers. You’re surrounded by stunning natural beauty, with coastal walks, clifftop paths and hidden bays right on the doorstep, yet everyday essentials are still within easy reach. The village has a warm, welcoming community, and there’s a lovely mix of independent cafés, pubs and local amenities that give it a charming, almost timeless feel. Lighthouse Road itself is wonderfully quiet, with very little passing traffic, making it feel private and safe. It’s the kind of place where you can hear birdsong in the morning and enjoy peaceful evenings in the garden without interruption. The countryside views and the proximity to the sea have been a constant source of joy, whether it’s watching the changing light over the fields or taking a spontaneous walk down to the bay. Despite its tranquillity, the location is also incredibly practical. Dover, Deal and Canterbury are all easily accessible, and the high‑speed rail link from Dover Priory makes commuting or visiting London surprisingly straightforward. It’s a place where you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the serenity of coastal living with the convenience of good connections. I will miss the beauty, the quiet, and the sense of space that Lighthouse Road offers. It’s a truly unique location, one that has given me many happy memories and will no doubt do the same for its next owners.

We fell in love with the house the minute we walked into the lovely large living space some 39 years ago and have enjoyed living in this lovely family home ever since. While we have been here we have modernised the whole place including recently updating the bathrooms and kitchen. It will be a real wrench to leave and we will cherish the memories of our time here but we feel it is time to downsize. Kingsdown is a charming fishing village with a golf club, a long seafront, a general store, post office, butcher/deli and three pubs including the dog friendly Zetland Arms as well as the Kings Arms with its speciality nights. You can drive or cycle along the lower road parallel to the seafront to Upper and Lower Walmer with shops and restaurants along the Strand but, being close to the countryside, we have the best of all worlds. The mainline station at Walmer, with its high speed train that can whisk you to London in an hour and 20 minutes, is particularly useful for commuters or if you want a day out in Town. Dover and the Channel Tunnel are within easy reach for a trip to the Continent, while the charming seaside town of Deal is quite close by with its wonderful shops, seafront, eateries and Saturday market. If you feel energetic, the Tides swimming pool complex is not far away while, for golfing aficionadas, as well as the Kingsdown and Walmer golf club, Deal includes the Royal Cinque Ports club but, if you want to go slightly further afield, there is also the championship courses in Sandwich. If sailing is your interest there is the Downs Sailing Club with its clubhouse along the Strand in Walmer. There are a number of good primary schools in the area including the Outstanding Kingsdown and Ringwould and Warden House in Deal, while Dover, Canterbury and Sandwich offer excellent grammar school facilities with top class private schools in Dover, Canterbury and Ramsgate.

We have always loved this cottage and, if we could take it with us on our move to Northern Ireland, we would. It is an incredibly special place with a wonderful character and, whether it is ‘dressed overall’ for Christmas or bathed in summer sunshine, the place is a home for all seasons. We love the fact you can wander up to the Glen for an interesting walk or enjoy a day on the beach with family and friends. Walmer has some local shops, bars and restaurants as well as the bandstand and Downs Sailing Clubhouse along the Strand. The fast train from Walmer station can whisk you to London in under an hour and 20 minutes while it is not far only a short drive to Dover and Folkestone for trips to the Continent. Deal is close by with its plethora of quaint streets, period properties, excellent restaurants including the Dining Club, The Blue Pelican and Little Harriet’s tea rooms. There are also a raft of attractive independent shops as well as the Saturday market and the seafront with its historic pier. Golfing enthusiasts can enjoy their game at the Kingsdown and Walmer and the Royal Cinque Ports golf clubs and if you want to go slightly further afield there are also the championship courses at Sandwich. As far as education is concerned there are very good primary schools in the area, including Warden House, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, while a wide variety of excellent grammar and private schools are available in the nearby towns.   *The Glen is a former chalk quarry in the grounds of Walmer Castle and was originally created by William Pitt the Younger and his niece Lady Hester Stanhope between 1802 and 1806 and was resurrected in 2019 and includes woodland walks, interesting plants and bird wood carvings.

Seller Insight The moment we first drove through the gates of Rowan House, we knew we had found something extraordinary. The sense of space, privacy and quality was unlike anything else we had seen. Set within almost an acre of beautifully established gated grounds, the property felt both impressive and wonderfully peaceful. As we stepped inside, the magnificent, curved staircase immediately drew our attention, setting the tone for a home where thoughtful design and exceptional craftsmanship can be found at every turn. What captivated us most was that Rowan House never felt like a standard executive property. The limestone and cherry wood floors, the bespoke curved walls, the stunning principal suite with its incredible dressing room and private balcony, the cinema room, reading snug and generous entertaining spaces all combine to create a home with real personality and presence. We have invested significantly during our ownership, creating a spectacular outdoor kitchen and entertaining area complete with bar, fire pit and seating, as well as extending the pond into the beautiful koi feature that has become the heart of the garden. Watching the koi glide through the water from the living room, terrace or kitchen is endlessly calming and one of the things we will miss most. The house has been the backdrop to countless celebrations with family and friends. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space flows effortlessly onto the terraces through bifold doors, making indoor and outdoor entertaining feel seamless. The cinema room, complete with its wood-burning stove, has hosted everything from family movie nights to major sporting occasions, while the games room in the annexe has provided the perfect space for guests of all ages. Our favourite place is undoubtedly the principal suite. Enjoying a quiet coffee and fresh pastries on the balcony while overlooking the gardens on a Sunday morning feels wonderfully peaceful. The dressing room is a dream, and the luxurious en-suite creates a true retreat from the rest of the world. Rowan House has given us everything: space to entertain, space to work, space to relax and space to grow as a family. With excellent schools nearby, strong transport links and a welcoming village community, it has been an exceptional place to call home. Leaving will be incredibly difficult, but we hope the next owners will love it as much as we have.

While we have enjoyed updating the property over the years, including converting the garage, there are plenty of opportunities for new owners to put their own stamp on the house and create their own unique and individual home. We are not far from Kingsdown with its three pubs, a good primary school, convenience store and post office as well as the Kingsdown and Walmer golf club. Walmer includes local shops, bars and restaurants, a bandstand, the Downs Sailing Clubhouse and a mainline station with fast trains to St Pancras taking an hour and 20 minutes. The Tides swimming pool complex is not far away and Deal is close by with its plethora of quaint streets, period properties, excellent restaurants including the Dining Club, The Blue Pelican and Little Harriet’s tea rooms. There are also a raft of attractive independent shops as well as the Saturday market, the seafront with its historic pier and the Royal Cinque Ports golf club and, if you want to go slightly further afield, you will find the championship courses at Sandwich. As far as education is concerned there are very good primary schools in the area while a wide variety of excellent grammar and private schools are available in the nearby towns.

Set proudly within the heart of one of a well-served village, Bell House is a home of rare distinction. Dating back to the 16th century and occupying a commanding position on Alconbury's historic High Street, this remarkable residence effortlessly blends period grandeur with welcoming interiors. Extending to more than 3,200 sq ft, the property has been sensitively enhanced and beautifully curated, creating an elegant family home that feels every bit as impressive as its striking façade suggests. Beyond the electrically gated entrance, a generous gravel driveway leads to mature Yew hedging allows a glimpse of the enchanting garden. Mature gardens unfold around the house, creating a wonderfully private setting where established trees, colourful borders, an orchard and expansive lawns combine to provide a picturesque backdrop throughout the seasons. The large lawns and terrace provide ample space for playing children, entertaining or even a marque for large gatherings and celebrations. With open countryside beyond a brook, there is a palpable sense of peace and space that is increasingly difficult to find while being within walking distance of village amenities and easy commutes to Cambridge and London. Inside, Bell House reveals an abundance of character. Exposed timbers, original fireplaces, wide plank flooring and centuries-old architectural details provide a rich sense of heritage, while the interiors have been thoughtfully reimagined to suit modern family life which is reflected in its impressive EPC rating of D, exceptional for a property of its age and heritage.

Village amenities, schooling and countryside walks are all within easy reach, while excellent road links place Cambridge, Peterborough and London-bound rail services within convenient commuting distance.

Built in 1580, it is one of those exceptionally rare homes that feels extraordinary at first glance: rich in history, full of character and imbued with a warmth that cannot be manufactured. Despite its distinguished heritage, it has always felt wonderfully easy to live in. Behind its handsome façade lies a private sanctuary where the outside world melts away and the peaceful garden feels a million miles from everyday life. What truly set Bell House apart for us was this remarkable combination of tranquillity and convenience. Within minutes, we could reach the A1, the A14 and Huntingdon station, making connections effortless without compromising the calm of village life. Over the years, we have carefully enhanced the house with enormous respect for its heritage. The roof has been completely renewed, original wooden floors and pamment tiles lovingly restored, fireplaces reopened and a former cowshed transformed into a beautifully appointed guest suite. Every improvement has been guided by longevity, comfort and a desire to preserve the soul of the house. The interior were thoughtfully designed by well-known interior designers Joanne Lindsay and Jane Keisner. Bell House has witnessed the happiest chapters of our family life. Our children spent carefree summers picking fruit from the garden, sleeping in the treehouse, racing along a zip wire through the orchard and cycling through the village ford. The garden itself is magical: sun-filled from morning until dusk, with magnificent sunsets and spaces equally suited to quiet reflection or lively gatherings. Entertaining here has always been effortless. Intimate candlelit dinners have stretched long into the night, while fundraising events and celebrations for over a hundred guests have flowed seamlessly through the four reception rooms. Yet, when the house is quiet, our favourite retreat remains the principal bedroom and dressing room: indulgent, comforting and utterly peaceful. “Bell House doesn’t seek to impress; it charms everyone who walks through the door.” offering history, warmth and a setting in which memories are made and treasured for generations.

A central front door, flanked by contemporary wall-mounted lighting, provides a balanced and symmetrical entrance, while the varied rooflines and upper-level projections give the house a subtle, layered character. The ground floor provides a highly adaptable arrangement, combining expansive open-plan living with well-proportioned bedroom accommodation. To the rear, a generous reception room / kitchen spans the width of the house, forming the social heart of the property. The kitchen is arranged in an L-shaped configuration with integrated appliances, streamlined cabinetry and marble-effect splashbacks, creating a contemporary and practical workspace. The dining and seating areas flow naturally from the kitchen, while wide-format glazed doors open directly onto the garden, establishing a strong connection between interior and exterior and allowing excellent natural light throughout the space. Two further reception rooms and a bedroom are positioned on this level. To the front, a substantial bay-fronted room offers impressive proportions and flexibility of use, whether as a principal ground floor bedroom or an additional reception room. An additional reception space sits adjacent to the entrance hall and is served by a separate family bathroom accessed from the corridor. A bedroom is located toward the rear of the plan and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, providing privacy and independence.

Lynher House is a charming detached country home set within a peaceful valley position in South East Cornwall, offering characterful accommodation, generous gardens and grounds, three high-end shepherd’s huts, a flexible studio annexe and a traditional stone barn with further potential. This is a rare opportunity to acquire not only a beautiful rural home, but also a property with the infrastructure, privacy and setting to support a lifestyle-led income opportunity. Enjoying a peaceful rural valley position with no near neighbours, Lynher House offers an exceptional sense of seclusion while still providing an excellent platform for a buyer to create their own vision. The current owners have used Lynher House as the base for a highly personal retreat offering, and whilst that operation is closely connected to them, the property itself provides an excellent platform for a buyer to create their own holiday accommodation, a variety of retreats or guest stays. A smallholding venture may also be possible, subject to any necessary consents. The Main House At the heart of the property is a beautifully presented detached period cottage, full of warmth, character and charm. The accommodation has been improved sympathetically, retaining the feel of a traditional country home while providing practical and comfortable living space. The entrance hall leads through to a wonderful open-plan kitchen, dining room, which forms the natural hub of the house. With slate flooring, fitted kitchen units, an island and a brick chimney breast currently housing a bioethanol stove, this is a sociable and inviting space for everyday living. A rear door opens directly onto the rear patio, creating a natural connection with the outside entertaining areas. The sitting room is equally characterful, with a wood-burning stove, beamed ceiling, part slate flagged flooring and dual-aspect windows overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside. Also on the ground floor is a large utility/garden room, with access to the rear patio and a separate cloakroom/WC, adding useful practicality for a home of this nature. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, two with en suite facilities, together with a family bathroom and a separate study/home office. The master bedroom enjoys countryside views, built-in storage and an en suite bathroom with both bath and shower facilities. The study offers flexibility and could be used as a home office, games room or occasional fourth bedroom. Studio Annexe and Lifestyle Accommodation A key feature of Lynher House is the studio/annexe, converted by the present owners, which now provides flexible studio-style accommodation. This space can be accessed from the main house or potentially used separately, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, retreat use, treatment space or holiday letting.  The studio includes a living/kitchen/dining area, en suite facilities and a mezzanine bedroom area, giving it excellent flexibility. French windows open out to its own private patio with countryside views. Within the grounds are three beautifully presented, high-end shepherd’s huts, which have been used as guest accommodation as part of the owners’ retreat-style use of the property. These provide a strong lifestyle and income angle, particularly for buyers considering holiday letting, retreats, guest accommodation or a boutique rural escape. There is also a traditional stone barn within the grounds, which we understand previously had planning consent for conversion into a small dwelling. This may offer further scope to enhance the accommodation or lifestyle business potential, subject to renewing or securing the necessary permissions. Outside, Gardens and Grounds Lynher House sits within generous gardens and grounds, understood to extend to just under four acres in total. The land offers an attractive mix of formal gardens, productive outdoor space, natural areas and stream frontage. To the rear of the house is a paved patio terrace, creating a sheltered and private space for outside dining and entertaining. Across the lane, the main gardens and land include lawned areas, a productive kitchen garden, orchard, woodland and two large ponds. The land has historically supported a smallholding lifestyle and will appeal to buyers with interests in self-sufficiency, animals, nature, wellness or simply enjoying a quieter rural way of life. A stream runs along part of the boundary, adding to the charm and natural appeal of the setting. Location Lynher House occupies a wonderfully peaceful position in the historic Clapper Bridge locality, nestled within a beautiful rural valley in South East Cornwall. With no near neighbours, it offers an exceptional sense of peace and seclusion, while remaining well placed for day-to-day amenities and wider regional connections. Nearby villages include Pillaton and St Mellion, with local facilities including a primary school, churches, public houses and the renowned St Mellion International Golf Resort. Saltash is within easy reach and offers a wider range of amenities, including shops, supermarkets, schooling and a mainline railway station. Plymouth, the A38, Callington and Liskeard are also accessible, while Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor, the Tamar Valley and the Cornish and Devon coastline are all within driving distance. Agent’s Comment Lynher House is far more than a country home with land. It is a beautifully positioned rural home with an exceptional lifestyle angle. The combination of the main house, studio annexe, shepherd’s huts, stone barn, lawned area, gardens and stream frontage creates a highly versatile package. For buyers looking to create a wellness retreat, boutique holiday letting venture, multi-generational home, smallholding or simply a more peaceful rural lifestyle, this is a genuinely compelling opportunity.

Seller Insight 'We bought this house as we were charmed by its character and history, and the fact that we had direct access to the forest, as we wanted our young twin daughters to enjoy the delights of the countryside, but we still needed to be near London for work.

There are also a number of sports clubs and facilities, including the Loughton Leisure Centre with a large indoor swimming pool, while golfing aficionados can play at the Epping golf course of the Hobbs Cross Golf Centre. There is a wide selection of schools in the area, including Staples Road Primary, Hereward Primary and Debden Park High School, as well as good, independent schools.

Set behind imposing private gates on Blackthorn Lane, just off Manor Road, this remarkable eight-bedroom mansion extends to approximately 9,824 sq ft and offers a rare combination of scale, privacy, smart-home technology, air conditioning, underfloor heating and exceptional entertaining space. Built and finished in 2015, this remarkable residence combines the presence of a traditional brick-built mansion with the comfort, technology and specification expected of a modern luxury home. Set behind imposing private gates, The Gate immediately makes a statement. A vast paved driveway provides parking for more than 15 vehicles, complemented by a four-car carport with electric vehicle charging and a double garage. The handsome façade, recessed entrance porch and beautifully balanced architecture create a strong sense of arrival, setting the tone for the scale and quality found within. The home opens into a magnificent double-height reception hall, finished with elegant tiled flooring, underfloor heating and a striking bespoke curved oak staircase with decorative ironwork. Above, the galleried landings and statement chandelier create a dramatic focal point, while the smart home features, air conditioning and underfloor heating throughout key areas ensure the property is as comfortable and functional as it is impressive. The ground floor has been designed for grand entertaining, family living and day-to-day practicality. From the reception hall, there is a coat room, guest cloakroom and a private office/study. To the front is a beautifully appointed formal lounge with a bay window, while a further family lounge opens directly onto the rear garden and connects seamlessly to the impressive orangery. The orangery is one of the signature spaces of the home, filled with natural light through large skylights and featuring underfloor heating and central air conditioning. With views across the garden and direct access outside, it offers a wonderful year-round entertaining space. At the heart of the home is a superb bespoke fitted kitchen, finished to an exceptional standard with a large central island, inset burners, premium integrated appliances, sleek cabinetry, elegant worktops, tiled flooring and underfloor heating. Designed for both family life and high-level entertaining, the kitchen also incorporates dining space and flows beautifully into the surrounding reception areas.

The ground floor also includes a boot room, utility area and internal access to the double garage, which itself benefits from tiled flooring and a skylight. A ground-floor bedroom with en-suite shower room provides excellent flexibility for guests, extended family, staff accommodation or multi-generational living. The first floor continues the grand sense of proportion. The bespoke staircase rises to a spectacular galleried landing, where a large front-facing window creates an elegant reading or seating area overlooking the approach to the property. Two principal bedroom suites sit on either side of the house, each offering generous sleeping accommodation, walk-in dressing rooms and luxurious en-suite facilities with steam shower features. One principal suite also benefits from a freestanding bath and a connecting door to an adjoining bedroom, creating the perfect private family suite arrangement.

The principal bedrooms and two further bedrooms benefit from air conditioning.

Early private viewing is strongly recommended.

Coming down the tree lined drive studded with primroses in the spring, one has no inkling as to what a discovery awaits around the corner. First are the cottages and barns and then suddenly, a picture postcard image opens up, as this Grade II listed Devon long house comes into view with its eyebrow thatching and cream painted cob elevations. At the front there is plenty of gravel parking and before entering through the fine oak front door, turn around and just take in the surrounds - it is quite special. Coming in through the front doorway, the dining hall really sets the tone for the old part of the house, with its impressive stone fireplace with inset log burner, original bread oven, stone paved flooring and exposed beams with decorative inserts. A honey oak church style door leads into a fine drawing room with its wonderful oak plank flooring, impressive inglenook fireplace with wood burner and a strategically placed window seat overlooking the front. Leading on from here is the dining room with a slate paved floor and a door opening into a cellar room, ideal for wine storage. Over more recent times, the property has been cleverly extended with an amazing contemporary build incorporating honeyed oak plank flooring and floor to ceiling glass in an oak frame gable, looking out onto the landscaped gardens beyond. This ‘L’ shaped room with the kitchen to one end allows for zoned living areas, as here, with sofas and chair in the gable end, optimising the view and natural light, plus an eating area with ample room for a table and chairs. In addition to the underfloor heating, there is a modern log effect gas fire set in a fine stone fireplace, linking the two areas together. The Chalon kitchen with Miele and Franke appliances offers a plethora of polished granite work surfaces with storage and wall units and a large central island with solid maple top. Sitting along one wall is an impressive range of cooking ware that would satisfy most keen cooks who enjoy entertaining, with a 4 oven Aga and warming plate, and an Aga range cooker with 5 gas rings and 3 electric ovens. The large central island unit with lighting, power points and pan hooks above doubles up as a social bistro counter as well as food prep station. Beyond the kitchen is a conservatory/ garden room which overlooks the substantial terrace outside, down to the river below. On the opposite end of the kitchen is a utility room with an extensive range of cupboards and appliance space, with a door leading out to yet another terrace. It is very unusual to see an extension like this blending with such a period property, but it works ever so well. Staircases are found either end of the older part of the house. Taking the one from the drawing room, a very useful cloakroom is found, before taking the stairs to the first floor. The first bedroom on this side is a wonderful room with plenty of honeyed oak, exposed beams and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in electric shower and separate bath. This room has a double aspect, enjoying views to the south and east. Off the small landing, paddle steps lead to a boarded attic space with light, power and heating. A door also opens into the main bedroom which has a wonderful, planked flooring, high ceiling with an incredible grapevine frieze and plenty of room for free standing furniture. A few steps lead down into a stylish ensuite. From here, the main landing leads to a second set of paddle steps up to a further carpeted attic room, and further accommodation. There is a contemporary shower room and two further bedrooms overlooking the front, one of which is understood to have been consecrated as a small chapel by the Bishop of Wells in 1710 as outlined in the records of the Church of Exbourne. Before heading down the second set of stairs, you come to the galleried library/ music room and study formed from the extension. It is an extraordinary space, full of light with views over the gardens and down to the river. In former years this was all used as a main bedroom with ensuite, but this works very well for our current client as a quiet, reflective space, yet still connected to the family room downstairs via the gallery. DAIRY BARN This former dairy provides for open plan living downstairs, with wood flooring, a modern log burner at the raised sitting room end and at the other end a well appointed kitchen with bistro bar makes a sociable casual entertaining area. A wrought iron spiral staircase leads to a galleried landing with bedrooms at either end. One is a good double with a modern ensuite shower room. The other is significantly larger, currently set up with both bunks and a double bed and has its own ensuite bathroom. There is parking outside and the adjacent former stables provide storage. DANS BARN For someone who loves the use of wood and exposed beams and peg frames and open plan living, this serves it up in bucketfuls. Downstairs there is a modern shower room, freestanding kitchen, space for a table and chairs and space for sofas and chairs to relax and admire the outside, but also to admire the magnificent work that has gone into creating this building. The first floor is mezzanine living, again open plan with two sleeping areas bisected by the stairs and gallery. There is parking outside, as well as decking overlooking the orchards to the woodland beyond. COB BARN This sits beside the Dairy Barn and has cart doors on either side, wonderful timber trusses and further external storage. A more modern agricultural barn offers tremendous scope for a number of uses, previously having loose boxes. Doors are found at either end and power and light are connected. A manège sits adjacent to the barn. It is currently used as a children’s play area. Opposite, a small track leads to 4 acres of level paddocks, once used for grazing horses and currently for grazing sheep. FISHING Beer Farm owns the double bank fishing rights on the River Okement, as far as Monkokehampton Weir. It contains a series of pools, attracting salmon, sea trout and wild brown trout. GARDENS and GROUNDS Wandering through these is almost like being in your own private parklands with large swathes of lawn, mature shrubs, plants, trees, hedgerows, rockery, pond, pasture and orchard, all with the sound of the River Okement running along one side. Double bank fishing rights run for about 500 yards down to Monkokehampton Weir. Everywhere you look, there is a vista to enjoy. The immense terrace that runs around two sides of the house allows for large parties and al fresco entertaining in the warmer months. A slope leads up to the kitchen gardens with over a dozen raised beds, a greenhouse with water, electricity and lighting, a large fruit cage, a 50 ft polytunnel and garden sheds. So for someone looking to grow and eat their own produce and enjoy the good life that growing your own food can provide, this will take a lot of beating. A magnificent 100 year old olive tree with twisted and gnarled trunk leads to a curving 20m long wisteria arbour and strategically at the end is a bench to just sit and listen to nature and the sounds of tumbling water. Between the drive and the river is a productive orchard with beehives. The overall private and natural setting of this particular home cannot be over-emphasised. Any owner will feel privileged to own this little part of Devonian tranquillity. SERVICES Mains water, electricity, oil fired heating to the main house and to Dairy Barn. Electric heating to Dans Barn. Drainage to a modern treatment plant. LPG for gas hob and fires. Agents note. There is an existing historical indemnity insurance in perpetuity to cover the change of use of the barns from agricultural to residential. The modern agricultural barn has a traditional asbestos cement roofing which is not uncommon for this type of building.

Hadrians House - A purpose-built equestrian residence of rare calibre, combining professional-grade facilities with refined modern country living. Constructed in 2015 with a clear brief—create a high-performance equestrian facility without compromising on residential quality—Hadrian’s House delivers on both fronts with precision. Set within approximately 7.4 acres, the property is discreetly positioned behind electric gates, offering privacy while remaining on the edge of a well-connected village. From the outset, the tone is established: natural materials, oak detailing, and a restrained palette create a modern farmhouse aesthetic that feels both considered and functional. This is not a cosmetic nod to country living—it is designed for it. The House The ground floor is anchored by a wide entrance hall, finished with oak flooring that runs consistently throughout, reinforcing the sense of cohesion. A bespoke oak staircase with integrated storage sets a practical tone early. The kitchen is the core of the house—bespoke, hand-painted solid wood cabinetry by Woodstyle, topped with black granite. It is properly specified rather than styled: Belfast sink, Neff appliances, wine fridge, and integrated timber wine storage within the island. The Aga is gas-fired with an electric companion, providing five ovens, multiple hobs, and flexibility that suits both day-to-day use and larger-scale entertaining. This space flows into a dining area and onward into a striking oak-framed living area. Extensive glazing wraps the elevation, pulling in natural light and framing uninterrupted views across the paddocks, critically, maintaining constant visual connection to the land and horses. A side access door leads directly to the patio, reinforcing the indoor-outdoor relationship. A secondary lounge offers contrast, more enclosed, intentionally quieter, with a contemporary gas fire and direct access to the patio. Glazed doors connect through to a formal dining room, allowing the layout to flex between open-plan entertaining and more defined spaces. The supporting accommodation is well judged: a fully fitted utility/laundry room with matching cabinetry, a ground floor shower room, and a boiler/drying room designed specifically for country use - wet coats, boots, and kit are clearly anticipated. A stable-style external door reinforces this as a working entrance. A study to the rear provides additional flexibility. This space is currently an office, but equally viable as a fourth bedroom, snug, or hobby space. First Floor The upper floor continues the same disciplined approach to materials and finish, with underfloor heating throughout. Three bedrooms are arranged to maximise light and outlook. The principal suite breathtaking. Vaulted ceilings, exposed oak structure, and a glazed gable end create a space that feels closer to a boutique retreat than a conventional bedroom. A dedicated dressing room and a high-spec ensuite features porcelain tiling and a large walk-in shower which complete this luxury suite. A second bedroom also benefits from ensuite facilities, while the family bathroom is centred around a freestanding bath, finished in a neutral, durable palette. Equestrian Facilities This is where Hadrian’s House separates itself from the majority of lifestyle properties. The equestrian offering is not an add-on—it is the primary asset, executed to a standard that supports serious use. 7.4 acres, intelligently divided into rotational paddocks Outdoor arena (50m x 30m) with premium sand and rubber surface Indoor arena (18m x 30m) with mirrors and full lighting—usable year-round Canter track/gallop running along the boundary, linking upper paddocks All-weather turnout areas adjacent to the indoor arena Horse walker (by separate negotiation)The stable block is equally well specified: 8 full stables plus additional storage stable Rubber matting to floors and walls throughout Solarium for muscle recovery and conditioning (by separate negotiation) Dedicated wash bay with hot and cold water Central cross-tie areas with excellent lighting Integrated kitchen, seating, and laundry area for day-to-day yard management First-floor tack room and rug storageOperational flow has been considered. Movement between arenas, turnout, stabling, and storage is efficient, which matters if this is being used at scale or professionally. A large gravel yard provides ample space for wagons, trailers, and machinery, with straightforward access and turning. Additional Accommodation & Leisure Across the yard, a covered area provides parking for two vehicles. Above, a self-contained studio apartment offers genuine ancillary accommodation—well-finished with oak flooring, open-plan living/sleeping space, fitted kitchen, and shower room. This is suitable for staff, guests, or as a dedicated office separate from the main house. Closer to the house, a garden room has been configured as a leisure space with bar and sauna. Adjacent is a covered patio with hot tub, positioned to take advantage of the south-facing orientation and uninterrupted views across the land. Location – Kirkandrews-on-Eden Kirkandrews-on-Eden offers a rare combination of accessible countryside and authentic rural living. Surrounded by a collection of well-regarded villages, the area is known for its excellent country pubs, traditional inns, and quality local butchers, delivering the kind of day-to-day lifestyle that buyers at this level actively look for, not just scenery. Positioned just a short drive from Carlisle, the property benefits from immediate access to a comprehensive range of amenities, schooling, and services, alongside excellent transport links via the M6 and mainline rail connections to London and Glasgow. For those drawn to the outdoors, the setting is particularly strong. The property lies along the route of Hadrian’s Wall Path, allowing direct access to miles of established walking routes straight from the doorstep. The area provides quiet lanes and open countryside ideal for hacking, while both the Lake District National Park and the Cumbrian coastline are within easy reach—offering a diverse mix of landscapes from fells and lakes to open beaches. This is a location that delivers not just on convenience, but on lifestyle—particularly for buyers prioritising space, access to the outdoors, and a strong sense of place. Summary Hadrian’s House is not a compromised lifestyle purchase. It is a properly executed equestrian property where the infrastructure justifies the headline. If the buyer’s priority is horses—training, conditioning, or small-scale professional use—this will outperform the majority of comparable offerings. The house supports that use case without dilution, delivering a level of finish and comfort that aligns with the quality of the yard.
