Nutfield House is a contemporary and substantial house of just over 4,000 sq ft. Originally built in 1992, the property was sympathetically extended in 2012 and is now a compelling mix of fresh, light and modern spaces. The accommodation throughout is generous and the numerous reception rooms allow a real flexibility, including ample space for a study/home office, studio or children’s playroom. Highlights include the show stopping 36 ft kitchen/breakfast room, complete with Gaggenau appliances and a stunning glass fronted fireplace. All six bedrooms have ensuite bath/shower rooms and the quality and attention to detail is evident with Duravit appliances, rain showers and unique designer bathtubs. The drawing room is a wonderfully calming and tranquil space, with large bi-folding doors which open onto a beautiful Iranian limestone terrace, which provides a seamless link between the house and gardens.

The gardens are magnificent and planted with an array of stylishly planted beds and mature trees. There is a vegetable garden, enclosed by park fencing with trained pear trees and a stunning timber framed green house by Gabriel Ash. There is a further courtyard garden designed by Susan Dunstall who was part of an award-winning collaboration that designed David Harber’s sculpture gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show. For those who work from home, there is a well appointed external office which is adjacent to the three bay car port and laundry room.
