luxury houses for rent United Kingdom

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. Generous ceiling heights, carefully considered sightlines, oversized glazing and extensive bespoke joinery create interiors that feel open, private and highly practical with ample storage for modern family life. The sense of space is apparent from the moment you enter. A generous double reception room occupies the front of the house, where a wide bay window brings in natural light and bespoke storage is seamlessly integrated into the architecture. From here, the plan unfolds naturally towards the rear, with increasingly open volumes drawing the eye through to the garden beyond. At the heart of the home is an expansive kitchen, dining and family space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A bespoke Miele kitchen is arranged around a large central island, with generous worktops and extensive storage. A substantial leather banquette with concealed storage sits beneath a striking Kristjana S Williams feature wall, while full-height sliding glass doors open directly onto the landscaped rear garden. The relationship between the house and garden is one of the property’s defining qualities. The end-of-terrace position provides additional width, side access and a greater sense of openness than many comparable houses in the area. The garden is set below neighbouring levels, creating an unusual degree of privacy while allowing the rear elevation to accommodate full-height sliding glass doors stretch across the rear elevation, dissolving the boundary between inside and out and creating an effortless connection with the garden. Cleverly tucked out of site behind a feature door sits a separate fully equipped utility room. One of the property’s rarest features is the substantial lower-ground floor. Naturally lit from three sides and with ceiling heights of over nine feet, this expansive level feels bright, usable and fully connected to the rest of the house. Currently arranged as a gym, studio, games room and family retreat, with a shower room, kitchenet and extensive integrated storage, it offers a level of flexibility rarely found in comparable homes in Chiswick. Given the conservation-area context and current planning environment, a basement of this scale and quality is unlikely to be easily replicated today. The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, including one with its own ensuite double shower room. A beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Bespoke joinery continues throughout, including antique Japanese doors incorporated into one of the bedrooms, reflecting the same individuality and attention to detail found across the rest of the house. Occupying the entire second floor, the principal suite sits beneath vaulted ceilings and includes a generous bedroom, extensive fitted wardrobes, excellent eaves storage and a contemporary ensuite bathroom illuminated by large rooflights.

Dating back to around 1650, Lower House Farm is an exceptional country home set on the edge of the picturesque village of East Meon.

Rebuilt in recent years behind its historic façade, it combines the presence of a late 19th-century country house with the clarity and scale of a contemporary plan. The approach is deliberate. A long driveway winds through mature trees, passing a lake before arriving at a broad turning circle in front of the house. The sense of space is immediate, with over 14 acres arranged as formal gardens, woodland and open lawn, all positioned to take in uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape. Inside, the ground floor is laid out laterally, with high ceilings and a central staircase forming the architectural focus. The principal reception rooms run along the garden frontage, with the drawing room oriented to capture long views across the grounds.

The kitchen is centred around a large island and supported by a fully equipped prep kitchen and utility spaces, allowing it to function at both domestic and larger-scale level. Beyond the main living areas, a dedicated indoor pool complex forms its own wing, with a pool of approximately 16 metres, spa, changing facilities and direct access onto the terrace. This sits alongside a study, formal dining room and additional reception rooms, giving the ground floor a clear distinction between formal and informal use. Upstairs, the principal suite occupies a significant portion of the first floor, arranged with two dressing rooms, a large bathroom and a private roof terrace overlooking the gardens. Four further bedroom suites are positioned across this level, with additional accommodation on the second floor, bringing the total to eight bedrooms in the main house.

This allows for guest accommodation, staff use or independent working spaces without interrupting the main house. The gardens have matured over more than a century and remain a defining part of the property. Established specimen trees, formal lawns and extensive planting are set around a lake and ornamental pond, with a network of paths moving through the grounds. A tennis court and pavilion sit within the landscape, positioned away from the house to preserve the setting.

Lying in the heart one of the Cotswolds’ most coveted villages, Swinbrook Place is a beautifully remodelled Grade II-listed home that began life as two 17th-century cottages. Today, it’s a remarkable village house that pairs historic character with elegant modern comfort. Inside, two main reception rooms create the perfect rhythm for family life and entertaining. One, set around a full-size snooker table, invites long evenings by the fire; the other is cleverly divided in two, with a log burner facing each side. At the centre of the house sits a dramatic media room with an open hearth and twin staircases sweeping up either side. Beyond a cloakroom, the handmade kitchen, finished with pale granite worktops, centres on a three-oven Aga and Gaggenau appliances, opening into a generous dining area for gatherings that spill easily outdoors.

Terraces and lawns give way to an orchard, flower-filled borders and winding paths that lead to a small studio by the ford, shaded by a weeping willow. Dry-stone walls define the boundaries, while painted picket gates open onto the lane beyond. The converted studio offers an additional ensuite bedroom, creating a lovely hideaway by the water.

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.

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.

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.
