A country estate with an impressive Grade I listed manor house, a Dower house and two cottages, surrounded by outstanding historic gardens. The main house has five reception rooms and nine bedrooms. To the south is a courtyard with a range of stores. To the east is a substantial thatched 17th century Grade II listed stable building with tack room, 2 loose boxes, stores and loft. Between the Stable Block and Dower House is a large red brick garage building with 2 open fronted stores, garaging for up to 8 cars and a workshop and storage above. The formal gardens are laid out in a series of terraces, the lowest terrace comprising the kitchen garden, bordered by neat gravelled paths, and with 2 greenhouses and a potting shed. The middle lawn, also accessed by a stone flagged terrace by the west front, is the Bowling Green. The upper terrace is divided into discrete garden areas with a summer house, tennis court and Grade II listed, 17th century dovecote. To the north of the house is a charming knot garden and a romantic summer house within a high stone wall. Approached over the main drive, and set in over 6 1/2 acres of gardens overlooking the Devil’s Brook, the Grade II listed Dower House, formally the Old Rectory for the Church next door. The house comprises on the ground floor 3 reception rooms, a cloakroom WC, kitchen and boiler room; on the first floor 3 bedrooms and the second floor a further bedroom, bathroom and attic storage. Linked to the house are outbuildings and a charming Coach House with garage bay and former stables. To the east of the Church is The Old School Room, a traditional single-storey building.  With access over the farm drive to the west are a pair of semi-detached cottages. To the north of the estate is Peck Mill, a 3-4 bedroom former mill house.
This property is blowing my friggin mind. Not only are you getting a castle but a pile of cottages and outbuildings and tons of land. I would leave to pick up groceries and that is it. An occasional trip to the dentist. Maybe a dinner out every now and then. WOW! For sale via Savills.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Cucina Regina by Tom Mark Henry.

Tips and suggestions

Colors that Work Together: Deep charcoal paneling creates an intimate cocoon, while warm taupe bedding adds softness. Rich cognac leather and natural wood tones bring warmth that prevents the dark walls from feeling heavy.

Wall details: Traditional panel molding in charcoal gray adds architectural depth and sophistication. The botanical artwork in a gold frame provides an organic focal point against the dramatic backdrop.

Furniture Foundation: The cream upholstered bed with vertical channelling offers modern comfort, while matching wooden nightstands with clean lines maintain the room’s balanced aesthetic. The cognac leather bench adds a luxe seating element.

Bedding Design: Textured taupe quilted bedding creates layers of comfort, with coordinating pillows that enhance the cozy, lived-in feel. The neutral palette keeps things serene and restful.

Lighting: Brass picture light highlights the artwork while ceramic table lamps with white shades provide warm, ambient lighting perfect for bedtime reading.

Floor Foundation: The traditional Persian-style rug in rich burgundy and navy adds pattern and warmth, anchoring the space with classic elegance.

Plant Life: Lush greenery in modern planters softens the masculine elements and brings life to the sophisticated color scheme.

The Final Note: This bedroom nails the perfect balance between moody and relaxing. The dark walls could feel heavy, but the warm wood and soft textures make it feel like a sophisticated retreat instead. It’s proof that going bold with color can actually make a space more restful.

“Our Wabi-Sabi Cottage reflects the essence of the natural world, prioritizing soft, warm textures inspired by the surroundings. The Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy is expressed through the careful use of color, restrained patterns, and surfaces that emphasize simplicity and imperfection, making this home a serene retreat.”
