Description
Designed in 1923 by lauded architect Inigo Triggs, the Arts and Crafts property forms part of the Durford Wood Estate with 10 acres of grounds including woods and a garden by the celebrated designer Gertrude Jekyll. (), one of the most important British Landscape Designers of the 20th century.
Durford Edge, along with The Hollow, has been sympathetically refurbished throughout by the current owners with the emphasis on light and space. The house retains many of its original ideas and features and has been thoughtfully designed with the principal rooms at the rear of the property, maximizing its wonderful position and far reaching views.
The attractive frontage with porch leads to the entrance hall in the centre of the house. The room proportions, light and views are evident immediately. The dining room with stone fireplace and beamed ceiling, as well as the study enjoy southerly views over the garden. The triple aspect drawing room is a fine room with open fireplace, large oak bay window and French doors to the rear terrace. There is also a separate sitting room. At the other end of the hall is the guest shower room and a large kitchen breakfast family room with further access to the garden. There is an extensive range of contemporary fitted eye and base level cupboards and drawers, integrated appliances, very impressive central island with breakfast seating area, and a large wifi enabled American fridge freezer. A door leads to the large utility room with built in appliances and plentiful storage space. Beyond the kitchen, a hallway leads through to a versatile reception room with a guest bedroom above.
From the main entrance hallway, the beautiful solid oak staircase with large feature window leads to the first floor which links all the well proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite with triple aspect and large oak window is a memorable room with ample space for a dressing area if required. The en suite comprises of twin wash basins, extra large shower and free standing bath. There are four further bedrooms and two further bathrooms (one en suite).
The spectacular grounds provide a wonderful setting for the house and were developed as a natural garden with woodland walks. To the west of the house is a smaller designed private garden, which certainly demonstrates the Gertrude Jekyll influence. Immediately to the south of the property is an attractive stone paved terrace with far reaching southerly views across the pond and over the gardens.
