At its centre is a double-height hall with vaulted cathedral ceilings and hardwood parquet fooring. Tis leads into the western wing and an open-plan kitchen arranged around an island with an Aga, a larder, a breakfast area, and glazed double doors to the dramatic rear terrace. Also within this wing is a large drawing room, a study and a utility room. Tere are two bedrooms on the ground foor, along with two bathrooms, and four further bedrooms on the frst foor, with three bathrooms between them. Te Coach House is positioned on the eastern side of the house and provides self- contained one-bedroom accommodation over two levels. A separate annexe is arranged over two levels and is divided into two one-bedroom apartments. Elisabeth Frink’s main studio is set apart from the house and ofers an enormous amount of versatile space over two levels. Her second studio was dismantled, moved, restored and reconstructed in the Tithe barn at Messums Gallery in Tisbury. Te reconstructed studio featured in an exhibition of her work focusing on original plaster casts in 2019, some of which remain on display in and around the house. Outdoor Space Te beautiful grounds are home to a swimming pool, as well as trails that wind through tropical-planted woodland and open, green spaces dotted with giant redwoods and Lebanon cedars. At the base of the gardens is a lake flled with rainbow and brown trout, while closer to the main house there is a six-box stable and an Olympic-sized manège.
