Set within a substantial stepped plot on a private estate, this new home is designed in the unmistakable character of the ‘New-England’ and ‘Hamptons’ style of homes found within the USA. With its costal-inspired aesthetic and classic architectural detailing, this white timber clad home, with symmetrical facades, is light and airy with a neutral palette of materials used throughout. The house presents grandeur as you arrive, with a large porch protecting the front door, which is raised above the driveway. Inside, the house unfolds into a sequence of naturally lit rooms, with oversized windows framing views out to the landscaped gardens whilst simultaneously flooding each room with warm sunlight. High ceilings echo the spatial grandeur presented by the exterior detailing. The house also features beautifully landscaped gardens, a pool/gym building and a swimming pool.
