Bradbury House

Bradbury House has been built to the highest specification providing accommodation with generous proportions that is energy efficient, light, spacious and comfortable whilst enjoying beautiful views over the surrounding Essex countryside.

The house is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional country residence. The beautiful setting of woodland to the north with mature trees and fields to the south has directly informed the architecture of the building. The form of the house has been designed to respond to the topography of the site.

The house has been divided into three sections, which are aligned on different axes to relate to distant views and points of interest. A sweeping, sculptural tiled roof line unifies the different sections of the house and relates it back to the gently rolling Essex landscape. A restrained palette of handmade Roman style bricks, clay roof tiles, green oak screens and larch boarding has been used for the external elevations. The emphasis on craftsmanship and the use of traditional materials causes the house to blend harmoniously into the landscape.

The dramatic form of the house is a reflection of the internal functions of the property. The East Wing contains a formal reception room with the master bedroom suite above and the West Wing with its sweeping cantilevered first floor provides the family and guest bedrooms. The central section, or heart of the house, contains the family areas and the main kitchen. The retractable windows to the south elevation are large, modern and take full advantage of the panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. The reception rooms are all of generous proportions and the layout provides a great deal of flexibility for future use.

The requirement for high levels of comfort and energy conservation has produced a bespoke engineering design for the plumbing, heating and electrical services. Gardens and grounds

Bradbury House is approached through electrically operated wrought iron gates up a tree lined gravel and bitumen driveway leading to a turning circle, Carport and guest parking area. Large sections of the gardens are laid to lawn with a plethora of mature specimen trees and shrub borders. There is a separate area of woodland to the north and west of the main house. The Garden Room is a very useful outbuilding divided into three sections: a greenhouse, a central garden store and gardener’s facilities with kitchen, WC with wash basin, all with water, heating and electricity.
