A wonderful opportunity to create a new country house in a traditional style, set in approximately 96 acres within 50 miles of London.
Informed throughout by classical Georgian references, Blue House Farm sympathetically weaves into its fabric both traditional and modern materials, coupled with time – honoured craftmanship, enhancing the charm and grandeur of this country house.Externally, the clay plain tiles contrast beautifully blend with the warm hues of the red brick detailing, laid in a traditional Flemish bond. The wooden box-frame sliding sash windows are made by local joiners and hand painted. A broad hand-made stone portico frames the entrance, creating an impressive formal transition into the well-proportioned interior.Internally, the Georgian proportions quickly become evident; high ceilings amplify the natural light and display the elegant detail of the plaster cornicing in the reception rooms. Further respecting the period references, bespoke skirting, architraves, and door linings complete the interior architectural detailing. Impeccable attention to detail sets this home apart, with the finest natural stone and wood flooring, detailed fireplace surrounds, traditionally crafted joinery and luxurious bathroom and kitchen fixtures and fittings from suppliers such as Lefroy Brooks and Porter Bathrooms. The house features underfloor heating, prewiring for selected audio-visual systems as well as home security and CCTV systems.Additional InformationMobile Coverage:Please look at the Ofcom website for more information
