An unusually substantial end-of-terrace family home in the heart of the Glebe Estate, comprehensively redesigned and rebuilt to bring together architectural vision and structural engineering expertise. The project was led by the current owner, a civil and structural engineer with over 25 years’ experience delivering residential projects across West London, in collaboration with qualified architects and specialist consultants. Extending to approximately 2,685 sq ft across four carefully planned levels (including the eaves storage), the house combines the character and proportions of a period Chiswick home with the volume, natural light and flexibility of a contemporary architectural rebuild, including a substantial lower-ground floor unlikely to be easily replicated today.

The sense of space is apparent from the moment you enter.

Swinbrook lies along the River Windrush and embodies the essence of the Cotswolds, with its beloved Swan Inn and village cricket ground a short stroll away. Nearby Burford offers independent shops and restaurants, while Daylesford, Soho Farmhouse and Estelle Manor are all within easy reach. Excellent transport links connect to Oxford and London from Charlbury or Oxford Parkway stations, and the area is home to many of the country’s leading schools. The surrounding countryside offers walking, riding and fishing, along with golf at Burford and Frilford Heath and racing at Cheltenham and Newbury.

Set within approximately 28.5 acres of gardens and parkland, this beautiful family home has long views that stretch across lawns and mature trees. The house itself unfolds with a pleasing sense of scale and seclusion; handsome and quietly imposing from the outside, it has been carefully renovated within, balancing period character with warmth, colour and comfort. Original fireplaces, panelled walls and detailed finishes sit alongside updated bathrooms and thoughtfully considered family spaces. A stained-glass front door opens to a dramatic reception hall with parquet flooring, wall panelling and a fireplace that immediately sets the tone. From here, the principal reception spaces branch out in generous succession. Three south-west-facing reception rooms have excellent natural light and broad views over the grounds, with the sitting room and family room opening directly onto the garden. These are beautifully proportioned rooms, each one with its own mood and perspective. Across the hall, the formal dining room is perfect for entertaining, while the kitchen and breakfast room is more relaxed. Fitted with warm white Smallbone cabinetry, a pantry and a handcrafted ILVE Majestic Milano stove, it lends itself easily to family suppers and weekends hosting guests. Beyond are the practical rooms that make a house of this scale work so well: a laundry room, cloakroom, plant room and a family room with its own kitchenette. The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors and is notably versatile. The principal suite is a particularly lovely arrangement, with a dressing room, an impressive ensuite bathroom and access to two roof terraces. Four further double bedrooms are also ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by additional bath and shower rooms. In total, the house offers ten bedrooms, allowing ample space for family life, guests and staff. The layout is made all the more appealing by the additional accommodation. There is a one-bedroom staff flat as well as a separate one-bedroom annexe, giving the property an unusual degree of flexibility for multigenerational living, live-in help or visiting guests. A garage and workshop add yet more practicality. Throughout the house, the decorative scheme is confident and considered. Wall coverings by Andrew Martin, Boråstapeter and Lewis & Wood bring texture and character, while marble and wood fireplaces anchor the principal rooms. The bathrooms have been stylishly updated, and the principal ensuite, in particular, feels quietly luxurious. There is an easy sense of continuity between the formal rooms, the family spaces and the grounds beyond. Outside, the setting is one of the property’s great assets. The gardens and land extend to approximately 28.5 acres, with sweeping lawns, mature planting and wooded sections that give the house both beauty and privacy. There is a swimming pool, expansive terracing and plenty of space. From many of the principal rooms, the outlook is uninterrupted and wonderfully green. Priors Hatch Lane sits in a particularly attractive pocket of the Surrey Hills, where rolling countryside and handsome villages meet easy access to London. Ancient woodland, walking routes and open views shape the landscape, while the historic market towns of Godalming and Guildford are both nearby, offering a wide range of independent shops, restaurants, schools and mainline rail connections to the capital. The surrounding area has long appealed to those seeking a country house with genuine acreage, privacy and beauty, without feeling remote. Abbotswood captures that balance beautifully.
