A phased approach has seen the transformation of this property into a truly unique rural retreat. Building upon the existing characteristics of the site and house, sympathetic alterations and extension have been combined with new ancillary outbuildings and facilities. The rolling topography has been exploited with buildings set at varying levels. The result is a collection with a seemingly organic relationship addressing each other whilst offering protection from views within. An outdoor pool and tennis court complete the works, set within the landscape behind a large retaining wall faced in traditional flint and brick. The house exudes the typical Chilterns charm with a mixture of brick, flint and timber frame rendered panel walls set under water reed thatch and plain clay tile roofs. The garage and garden store reflect this aesthetic with due subservience.
