From the Agent: "This exceptional three-bedroom house is by RIBA award–winning architectural practice Hollaway Studio. Set within the grounds of Grade II–listed Wallet’s Court, the building was designed to be concealed behind a striking flint wall, ingeniously dissecting the site into two distinct halves. An established grassy meadow and newly planted orchard sit at the front, with a sunken garden at the rear, carefully planted to enhance the biodiversity on site. The house unfolds over 2,000 square feet of lateral living space and employs a simple palette of materials, including oak and concrete, to emphasize the building’s distinct form and surrounding environment. Designed to reflect the local vernacular, the house has a flint facade punctuated by a cantilevered study set on concrete columns, intended to represent a modern interpretation of a staddle hut. There is also an enclosed carport with space for several vehicles."
Known as West Meadow, the sprawling 2,540-square-foot residence has a shaded concrete walkway overlooking the countryside.
