Orchard House.

Internally, the focus is on warmth, texture and a sense of ease. We introduce natural materials, such as timber, stone and polished plaster, creating a restrained and tactile palette. Vaulted ceilings introduce volume to key spaces, bringing light and a subtle sense of drama.

The ground floor is organised around a formal entrance, leading into a gallery-like hallway with a sculptural staircase and spiral wine store. From here, the main living spaces run on a north–south axis. Service spaces sit to the north, while the kitchen, dining and living areas open southwards onto the garden and swimming pool terrace.

Practical spaces are carefully considered. The boot room, utility, cloakroom and laundry are grouped within the west wing, allowing day-to-day life to function without interrupting the main living areas. To the east, a home office and gym provide quieter, more private accommodation.

Upstairs, the principal suite includes a dressing room, ensuite and private balcony. Four further bedrooms, each with their own ensuite, are arranged across the wings, with generous storage and two enjoying access to private balconies.

The annex provides covered parking and plant space at ground level. Above, it accommodates a self-contained living space, including kitchen, living area, bedroom and workspace. This allows the owners to remain on site during the refurbishment, while also offering flexible accommodation for the future.
