Fox House borders open farmland to the east and south and commands fabulous unspoilt surrounding views. The aspect to the south is particularly special, across fields to distant fells creating a wonderfully open and bright aspect. With a design that takes inspiration from international travels, nature is not a backdrop here but a defining factor woven into every detail and celebrated through expansive glass, open and flowing spaces. The quality of light is extraordinary, every room possessing a great view. Within a generous plot of c 0.34 acres, the house is enveloped in level gardens with curated seating areas to maximise opportunities for outdoor living as they blur the boundaries between inside and out. A model of modernity and pared back aesthetic with an extraordinary, relaxed energy, Fox House has a covered entrance to a reception hall which opens to a wider circulation space and connects the kitchen, sitting room and dining room. Providing practicality for everyday living is a boot room, cloakroom, utility room and integral double garage. A pocket door opens to the ground floor bedroom wing comprising two ensuite double bedrooms. Through a spacious second hall are the stairs, off the first floor landing is a third ensuite double bedroom with walk in wardrobe and a fourth double bedroom having a mezzanine room above, this bedroom is served by the house bathroom. If you seek a distinctive contemporary home, fully at ease in a rural setting then Fox House is essential viewing. Vendor insightIt’s a very easy place to be and works well all year round. We will miss the views; they constantly change with the weather and the seasons, it’s lovely watching the year unfold; when the geese arrive to nest, watching the cows or sheep contentedly graze, or when the field is mown two or three times a year. The design of the house was inspired by our travels and living in California and Australia. South facing with roof lights along the east-west axis, it is naturally well lit. The big picture windows and glazed doors ensure a strong connection with the garden and views. We wanted the living space to be open but not one big vast space, it flows and connects, working well for family living and when we have friends round. In warmer months the doors to the central courtyard are open to form an outdoor room, when it’s colder, the double-sided stove comes into its own. It’s particularly magical at Christmas as the lights reflect all around in all the glazing. LocationSituated on the outskirts of the peaceful Conservation Area village of Borwick, slightly to the west of the Lancaster canal, Fox House is within Lancashire but close to the Cumbrian border. It is a quiet and exceptionally accessible place to live. Positioned off the main roads and thus away from major traffic, Borwick is a peaceful and popular village. It’s easy to reach by road being convenient for accessing the motorway at either J35 if travelling south or J36 if heading north. For travel by train there are stations on the main West Coast line at both Lancaster and Oxenholme (near Kendal) which are easy to reach, and one in Carnforth. Borwick shares a church and village hall with the neighbouring village of Priest Hutton. The village of Burton in Kendal lies 2.7 miles to the north and has a Post Office with general store, two pubs, a primary school and village hall, with clubs for tennis and crown green bowling. For everyday needs Carnforth offers a wider provision of local services with a choice of supermarkets (Booths, Aldi, Tesco and Co-op), doctors, dentists and vets’ surgeries and a busy high street of shops. The Cumbrian market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is easily reached and has a bustling main street of largely independent retailers and a great choice of places to go for food and drinks. The Lakeland gateway town of Kendal and historic city of Lancaster provide a full range of services. For fans of the great outdoors, Borwick is well placed. The National Parks of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales are easy to reach if you’d enjoy access to the hills and the dales but prefer a quieter life and the appeal of a close-knit community. Further walking and outdoor pursuits are to be found in the nearby protected National Landscapes of Silverdale and Arnside which offers some stunning coastal scenery and the remote and peaceful moorland landscape of the Forest of Bowland.Setting the sceneSet amidst glorious open countryside and commanding far-reaching views across farmland to the distant fells, this striking detached residence is a masterclass in contemporary country living. Built in the 1970s and thoughtfully transformed over recent years by way of a substantial single-storey wraparound extension, the house now offers an inspired interpretation of Californian modernism, where clean architectural lines, natural textures and an abundance of light combine to create a home of exceptional calm and understated sophistication.Set back from the road, the property has been carefully orientated to embrace its south-facing aspect and in doing so provides great privacy. Extensive glazing by way of glazed doors, picture windows and strategically placed roof lights draw natural light deep into the interior throughout the day, while framing ever-changing views in every direction. The boundaries between inside and out are intentionally softened; gardens, terraces and living spaces flow seamlessly together in a manner more akin to a wellbeing retreat than a conventional family home.The aesthetic throughout is pared back yet deeply inviting; modern rustic meets contemporary country. A restrained material palette, sleek geometric forms and tactile finishes create interiors of warmth and simplicity, while the semi open-plan arrangement allows each living space to retain its own identity whilst remaining visually connected.Step insideA generous covered entrance area provides practical shelter before opening into a wide reception hall where an immediate and enticing glimpse through the house is gained of the landscape beyond. The accommodation reveals itself gradually and deliberately, each space unfolding naturally from the next to create a wonderful sense of discovery.At the heart of the home lies an impressive east-west circulation space illuminated by overhead roof lights. From here, the principal living areas progress; the kitchen forming the social centre piece with open aspects towards the sitting room, dining room, courtyard garden and the panoramic southern outlook beyond. Beautifully sociable yet highly functional, the overall living area layout has been designed equally well for both relaxed family life and entertaining on a larger scale.Supporting the principal accommodation and ensuring the house is easy to run and occupy are a utility room, boot room, cloakroom and integral double garage.Particularly noteworthy is the versatility of the ground floor bedroom wing. Cleverly arranged to allow a degree of independence, this section can be separated internally by a sliding pocket door and comprises two bedrooms, each with its own contemporary ensuite; one bathroom and one shower room. Conceived by the current owners with multigenerational living or guest accommodation in mind, the space is equally suited to dependent relatives, visiting guests or even ancillary Airbnb use. A dedicated external garden entrance enhances this flexibility further, while electrical provision has been made for the future installation of a kitchenette.A versatile spacious second hallway offers an ideal setting for a home office, library or music room; from here stairs ascend to the first floor landing leading to two further double bedrooms, both enjoying spectacular elevated views across the surrounding countryside. One bedroom features a charming mezzanine level accessed by ladder; an imaginative addition certain to delight younger members of the family by creating distinct areas for sleep, study or play. This bedroom is served by the stylish house bathroom.The principal first-floor bedroom enjoys a walk-in fitted wardrobe and ensuite shower room, with particularly captivating views eastwards across fields to the canal. Step outsideThe electric gate is controllable either by phoning ahead or keypad. It slides open to exceptionally generous parking providing ample room for family and guests, boats or campers. There is potential to add to the accommodation further with space for a garden room/annex/studio or workshop in the easterly corner, all subject to consent. Externally, the gardens have been designed as a natural continuation of the house itself. Much like the interiors, the outdoor spaces unfold from one area to another, with carefully positioned seating areas and sheltered corners each offering their own character, atmosphere and perspective. The main courtyard garden has the benefit of a deep roof overhang to provide shelter in inclement weather; the overhang roof detailing around the house features downlighters which prove particularly effective come nightfall. Whether enjoying morning coffee or chilled sundowners, every aspect of the setting has been thoughtfully considered to celebrate the surrounding landscape and connection to the interior.

Dating from the 1700’s, it was originally a farmhouse until the present owners in 2013 realised its potential. With a vision to create a home suited for its rural location and contemporarily equipped for the future, they extended and modernised the entire property, the result is a prestigious, bespoke four bedroom house in a prime location.The property is directly approached from the road and has a block paved drive at the side leading to double wooden gates. A car could be parked here but beyond the gates the drive becomes gravelled and leads to a double garage where there is ample room for turning and parking multiple vehicles. Fencing, mature shrubbery, hedging and native trees provide seclusion and privacy surrounding a landscaped garden to the rear of the house. Yew Tree House and grounds are deceptively large and while certainly appealing from initial observation, it is only when entered and explored that the size and beautiful interior can be fully appreciated: it is a surprise for all the right reasons.Roof tops and chimney stacks The house is traditionally built with red brick walls, rustic chimney stacks, cross gabled roofs and contemporary window frames. Within the oak and glass portico, there is an oak seat and the thresholds have been kept and reused from the original farmhouse. Slate floors are used throughout, including the patio outside the living room.Yew Tree House is built on two levels and has a cellar. There are presently four bedrooms – two with ensuite- a large bathroom, two reception rooms, a separate shower room and a generous open plan kitchen/ dinning/ living space. The house is tastefully decorated using coordinated features and materials of the highest specification. It is in a quiet location as Shearsby is reached from a branch road off the main A5199 and avoids through traffic. This is a delightful residence that has been cared for and nurtured to exacting standards and richly benefits from the rural charm of its position.Extended and improved to exacting standardsUndeniably, the house is impressively large and individual. On entry into the dining room, cottage features remain and the focal point is the open fire place. The exposed brick chimney and integrated oak shelving compliment the exposed beams overhead and create a room that mingles traditional characteristics with a contemporary style. Light permeates the ground floor ahead, as doorways have been widened and the length of the house can be seen with views of the patio and garden. Here, the benefit of singularly using slate flooring is apparent as it links the areas and the overall impression is of space and a relaxed airiness.Next door, the snug is decorated in a similar style but has a log burner. It retains its door and provides a cosy, private retreat away from the openness of the extended rear parts of the house: a perfect place to read in or watch the television. The hall crosses the house from the shower room to the right and the staircase to the left. The staircase is a bespoke fusion of steel, glass and French oak treads. It appears to float between levels and is cast in light from the thermal translucent glass block wall it rises against. The staircase leads to the cellar beneath the house which is suitable for storage and above to the first floor landing, where a feature beam runs along the width of the house and displays lighting. Directly opposite the staircase, a shower room is fitted with walk in shower, vanity unit and toilet. This enables the snug to be used as a fifth ground floor bedroom with convenient bathing facilities, if required. The bathing facilities throughout Yew Tree House are modern, stylish and well maintained. White suites are complimented with tiling to floors and walls, and high quality fixtures and fittings are standard. A modern living space with a focus on relaxed entertainingStepping down into the kitchen from the hall, the impressive open plan living space is organised into purposeful zones. The kitchen has an individually designed island for informal dining and a very large lounge area, presently arranged to benefit from a media wall and a wall corner log burner. Floor to ceiling translucent panes of glass along two elevations begin here – the master bedroom suite is immediately above – and full height bifolding doors that open onto a secluded patio area. The central island houses an induction hob, a sink with boiling water tap and waste bin cupboard. A curved Corian worktop provides seating for eight people and a full height wall of cupboards includes a small pantry area. Further worktops permit food preparation and spaces for equipment while integrated appliances such as a fridge freezer and eye level electric oven and steam oven are also included. A wine rack, two large larder cupboards, a double door cupboard for coats and a feature bookcase made from French oak includes two large cutlery drawers and completes the designer kitchen.A separate utility/laundry room is accessed along a glass corridor and provides additional room for grocery or appliance requirements. It is fitted with a sink unit, cupboards and plumbing for a washing machine and condensing tumble dryer. There is a separate toilet and hand basin next door. To the side of the patio outside of the living room, the corridor presents as a wall of glazed glass and hides the rooms within but means that the facilities are within easy reach. This corridor leads to the double garage which is currently used as a gym. It has an alcove suitable for a fridge and freezer, and hooks for coats. Electrically operated garage doors allow its original use to be recommissioned but a single steel side door equally permits other options.To the first floor and views of the gardenThere are four double, carpeted bedrooms on the first floor. The master suite to the rear, has patio doors opening onto a balcony. This permits views over the sedum roof of the garage/gym and garden beyond. It is a particularly luxurious room and has a vaulted ceiling, a fully glazed gable end and a pair of integrated wardrobes. Its large ensuite has spiralled glass partitioning, a walk in shower, toilet and vanity unit. The bedroom across the landing shares similar views, while bedroom three is to the front. This double aspect room looks to the village green, renowned for its preservation as an original feature of the village landscape and protected by residential ownership to remain unchanged. The remaining fourth bedroom is fitted with integral wardrobes and has an ensuite consisting of walk in shower, toilet and vanity unit. The substantial family bathroom is equipped with a large quadrant shower and corner bath, vanity unit and toilet. As with many aspects of this property, the bathing facilities have been totally renewed, redecorated and accessorised to a high specification providing beautifully designed rooms with white suites, contemporary lighting and pristine tiling. All curtains, light fittings and carpets on all levels are included within the sale of this property. Wander through the gardenThe garden is another beautiful asset of Yew Tree House. From the roadside it would be difficult to appreciate the length of its plot or the variation of the landscaping included. It is well stocked with herbaceous borders and specimen trees, including a white mulberry, laburnum and many acers. An artificial turf lawn, patios and walk ways have been incorporated, and a bridge leads over a natural pond to the largest southwest facing patio and barbecue area. The dining area looks back to views of the village and there is a hot tub. Beyond this partitioned space, a shaded garden leads to a further vegetable garden with raised beds, a fruit cage, cold frames, a green house and sheds. Location The beautiful village of Shearsby is set in the South Leicestershire countryside approximately 9 miles South of Leicester and equidistance to Lutterworth and the medieval market town of Market Harborough, which both provide extensive facilities and a range of independent boutique shopping, restaurants, bars and hotels as well as supermarkets including a Waitrose. Recreational activities are plentiful for all age groups with nearby golf courses including Ullesthorpe, Lutterworth, Market Harborough, and Kilworth Springs. Situated between the two towns is the innovative Kilworth open-air theatre set under sail-like canopies within the grounds of Kilworth House Hotel.Although protected as a Conservation Area, Shearsby is by no means dormant – it is a lively, active and busy community with the Village Green, the Old School House converted into the village hall, St Mary Magdalene Church and The Chandlers Public House forming the heart of the village.The area boasts an excellent standard of schools, with the local primary schools at both Arnesby and nearby Gilmorton.

Our children have had the freedom and space to roam and play in safety. They have been able to toboggan down the field when it snowed, build swings in the trees, make forts in the barns or just wander about the fields, all just a shout away from the main house.An unrivalled location It is easy to fall in love with this extraordinary setting; on offer is peace and quiet, privacy and total seclusion and furthermore, tremendous views.Whilst you may be relaxing into splendid rural isolation, Bank End Farm remains well connected with the outside world.

During the night the zero light pollution is ideal for star-gazers and we have spent many evenings sitting around a fire on the southern terrace enjoying the moonlight looking for shooting stars and, more recently, satellites.There’s a very strong sense of community here, possibly more so than in a village.

In total, the property extends to c. 5.29 acres.Vendor InsightAll the fields and fells around Bank End are working farmland and we enjoy feeling close to it. During summer calves spend time at the lower gate and at various times of the year the fells ring with the sound of all the local farmers working together to bring the sheep down from wherever they are hefted on the fells.We live with a rich diversity of wildlife; kestrels, buzzards, woodpeckers, little owls, barn owls, wagtails, blackbirds, great tits and many more all live on or around and local twitchers are often to be seen. A few years ago, sightings of a hooded crow caused great excitement.PlanningPlanning permission was granted by Lancaster City Council reference 03/01107/CU dated 19/11/03 for the “Change of use of redundant agricultural buildings to form additional living accommodation to existing dwelling and to provide holiday accommodation.”Please noteA public footpath crosses the land to the rear of the barn conversion.ServicesThe property is off mains and has its own ‘micro grid’.

STEP OUTSIDEIf you have multi-generational family requirements, or you want to extend your income generating opportunities beyond the campsite, the detached self-contained annex could be ideal. The front door opens directly into a dual aspect living area and there is also a kitchen/diner with a stable door to the garden and fitted units housing built in appliances as well as stairs to the first floor and a lobby with steps leading down to the bathroom. On the first floor you will find a double bedroom with delightful views and a study. Additional family accommodation or income-generating opportunities could be provided by the room and bathroom above the triple garage – subject to planning consent Further outbuildings include the stables that have been converted into the reception area that provides firepit hire and the offices, a shower and toilet block for the campers and, off the main hard standing frontage, there are separate drives leading to the campsite and to the 80ft by 70ft main barn that makes an excellent storage facility, although it could have the potential to be converted, subject to the necessary planning permissions. For those guests who want something more luxurious than a tent there are the two delightful detached log cabins that each have a good sized living room/kitchen, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom and have permission for all year round holiday rentals or a 12 month rental. WHAT THE OWNER SAYSI was delighted to have the opportunity to completely renovate and refurbish the property so it is just ready for new owners to walk straight into without having to do anything. The location is wonderful as it is great for hiking and there is fishing available nearby as well as two pubs that both serve excellent food and a teashop in the village if you want to enjoy time out. Pett also has a village hall with a variety of activities, a sports pavilion and facilities for cricket, tennis and bowls while it is not far to the beach. Nearby towns include the medieval Winchelsea and Rye plus the seaside town of Hastings and St Leonards. The nearest station is Winchelsea with trains to St Pancras in an hour and 11 minutes and good primary schools in nearby Guestling and Icklesham and the secondary Rye College. There are a number of private schools in the area including Vinehall, St Ronans and Malborough House prep schools as well as Claremont and Battle Abbey which caters for children up to age 18.Winchelsea purports to be the smallest town in England and is certainly picturesque with its three medieval gates, characterful houses, a shop, school, museum and famous vaults from its days as a centre for the medieval wine trade. While the nearby and equally picturesque historic medieval Cinque Port town of Rye, with its half-timbered houses and cobbled lanes, was known as ‘the prettiest town in England.’ It was once one of England’s most important ports as it was originally surrounded by sea before the area was drained and became Romney Marsh. This medieval fortified town is where the River Rother and River Brede meet and creates a harbour for fishing boats while Ypres Tower with its museum still looks out towards the sea. This vibrant market town is now home to a myriad of smart restaurants, pubs, independent shops and historic buildings as well as a Grade II Listed station. For sporting enthusiasts Rye has a variety of clubs including cricket, tennis, squash, football, rugby and bowls as well as a sports centre and the exclusive Rye Golf Club.Hastings is also a Cinque port and has its origins in the 8th century and gave its name to the famous Battle of Hastings in 1066. Today it is a rejuvenated seaside town with a growing artist influence including a number of art galleries and museums as well as retail parks, shopping malls and supermarkets together with quirky individual shops in the Old Town and a wide variety of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. There is the newly restored Hastings pier as well as the historic castle and the steep cliff railway, two theatres and cinemas, a university and a variety of schools and colleges as well as four railway stations. Sports available include the Summerfields Leisure Centre with is swimming pool and climbing wall, football and rugby clubs as well as yachting and angling clubs.Oak Valley Campsite is beautifully situated for access to a wide variety of places to visit including the Hastings Nature Reserve covering 853 acres of woodlands, pasture, clifftop grassland and dramatic cliffs and coastline. There is the Aquarium and Adventure golf as well as a trip on the miniature railway in Hastings and Camber Sands offers large sandy beaches and kite flying, impressive indoor swimming pools and an activity centre while a guided walk around Rye provides a fascinating insight into the origins of this area. If you want to go slightly further afield there is Pevensey Bay where William the Conqueror landed or Battle Abbey where the famous battle actually took place but for something a little more cultural there is always the iconic Art Deco De La Warr pavilion in Bexhill with its myriad of theatrical shows, art gallery and art based activities.

An exemplary conversion of a historic, Grade II Listed and award winning home with its prominent tower proudly standing overlooking the surrounding rural, Lincolnshire landscape, a reminder of a bygone era but now forming part of a spectacular and unique home affording stunning views. The former windmill sits on around 2 acres of land and the flexible accommodation inside offers 4 to 5 bedrooms. With Lincoln about 20 minutes north and Sleaford around 15 minutes south, there is a wide choice of excellent schools in the area whilst the A1 is about half an hour away, and a neighbouring village has its own train station with connections to fast services to London, Edinburgh and elsewhere.“The mill was built in 1827 and had four sails. It began as a 5-storey mill but was later raised to become 6-storey, probably when it was adjoined to a steam mill in 1842. It worked until 1912 and was dismantled soon afterwards. The buildings either side no longer existed when I came here in 2002 and the tower was completely empty, open to the sky above. Old photographs show the mill with a square chimney that was even taller than the tower itself! It was since reduced greatly in height and now still exists as the chimney to our inglenook fireplace.”“Planning allowed building onto the footprint of the old, so we created the two wings either side of the tower and added a new porch, very similar to the original one. All the windows in the wings are timber, double-glazed sash. “We wanted to keep the tower in the spirit of its original use so have created an industrial feel with exposed brick walls in the bottom half although the top floors have been insulated and lined. The round entrance hall has been laid with reclaimed timber boards in an octagonal pattern and the curving, steel-framed staircase with timber balustrading and treads was created by a local fabricator to a unique design.”“All the principal rooms are light, airy and spacious with all the bedrooms double and there are superb views from every floor. The vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms enhance the sense of space and the exposed timbers lend character. There are four bedrooms on the first floor but there is a good deal of flexibility in the use of rooms. For instance, a bedroom or two could be created in the tower particularly since there is a bathroom on the fourth floor. The second floor has the lovely landing stage surrounding it with two sets of French doors opening onto it. The floor above I have been using as an office. Despite the rural location, we do actually have full fibre broadband to the property so there are very fast internet speeds.”“We built in cabling for surround sound speakers in the main living room on the ground floor so we can enjoy it as a cinema with one of the walls becoming the screen.”“There are three sets of French windows onto the rear garden which is lovely in summer. A terrace stretches the whole width of the property and receives sun the majority of the day.”“Although rural, the village is just a quarter of a mile away where there is a pub/restaurant and Metheringham is only 3 miles away which has various shops and services including a Co-op, a post office and even a train station on the Peterborough to Lincoln line. Sleaford is our nearest town about 8 miles away where there are very good schools, and Lincoln is about a 20 minute drive. Woodhall Spa is a lovely place, only 15 minutes away and the unusual Kinema in the Woods is highly recommended, and where we always go to the cinema!”LocationThe Windmill is just outside the village of Scopwick which is about 8 miles north of Sleaford and 11 miles south of Lincoln. In the Domesday Book of 1086 it is recorded as having a church and 6 mills, with the Old English name ‘Scapeuic’ meaning sheep farm. Now, it is a small rural community with Scopwick Holy Cross Church, a village hall, and a highly-rated pub, The Royal Oak, serving food.Nearby Metheringham offers a wide range of facilities including several village stores and pubs/restaurants, a fish and chip shop, a takeaway, a children’s nursery, a vets’ practice and a doctors’ surgery. The village railway station connects directly with Lincoln, Sleaford and Peterborough.Around a 15 minute drive, is the characterful inland resort of Woodhall Spa famous for The National Golf Centre with its Hotchkin heathland course, one of the top in the world. The town also offers a wonderful selection of independent shops, tea rooms, restaurants as well as the unique Kinema in the Woods and the superb outdoor heated swimming pool at Jubilee Park. The Petwood Hotel is steeped in British history, once home to the legendary 617 ‘Dambusters’ squadron, and provides award-winning food, afternoon tea and special events surrounded by acres of beautifully landscaped gardens.The historic and vibrant Cathedral City of Lincoln provides a comprehensive range of shopping, dining, and cultural amenities. The two most notable attractions are the spectacular 11th century Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle at the heart of the city's cultural Cathedral Quarter. The city has two universities, and the rich aviation history of Lincolnshire can be explored further at the International Bomber Command Visitor Centre.SchoolsThe closest primary school is in Metheringham (3 miles) and is rated Good by Ofsted whilst sought after secondary schools are in Sleaford, around a 15 minute drive. These include the grammar schools Carre’s Grammar School and Kesteven & Sleaford High School (for Girls), as well as St. George’s Academy, all Ofsted rated Good. In Lincoln, about 11 miles north (15-20 mins), there is the Ofsted rated Outstanding LSST Priory Academy and the superb independent Minister Schools, both Prep and Senior.Services: Mains gas, electricity, water; private septic tank; mains gas central heating Local Authority: North Kesteven District Council Council Tax Band: F Epc Rating: Exempt Tenure: Freehold
