Brief

The client sought a country house with convenient access to London, combining rural charm with practical connectivity. Key requirements included ancillary accommodation, substantial grounds, and a private yet accessible village setting.

Additional preferences included lifestyle features such as a swimming pool, equestrian facilities, and the potential to expand guest accommodation. The property also needed to offer strong visual appeal, with elevated views over the surrounding countryside.

The transaction was completed efficiently, with the full process from introduction to completion taking approximately 10 months.
