A south-facing bay window illuminates the space, and a reeded-glass window looks into the kitchen from the study. There is a WC underneath the stairs, and a cellar follows the footprint of the hallway above, accessed via a hatch in the floor.

Stairs from the hallway lead up to the master bedroom at the front of the house, with built-in storage. There is a good-sized second bedroom (also with built-in storage), a bathroom and an additional bedroom overlooking the garden to the rear.

Set in approximately four acres of idyllic landscaped gardens, the house was designed by the highly-regarded architect Fiona McLean of McLean Quinlan as a replacement for a farmhouse that stood on the original site. The retention and re-use of the coloured stone from the original structure gives the building a timeless quality that belies the fact it was completed in 2002. Shuttered concrete detailing and floor-to-ceiling glazing are among the more contemporary aspects of the home, as is the largely open-plan interior layout. The architectural writer, Cathy Strongman, has described the house as “sturdy and yet elegantly transparent in places, contextual but also contemporary… a Devonshire farmhouse that takes full advantage of its setting without diminishing any of its beauty”.
