Approached via a long private drive and enveloped by rolling pasture and mature woodland, the setting is one of complete seclusion and natural beauty.<br/><br/>Yet, this remarkable estate sits within effortless<br/>reach of one of the country’s most culturally rich<br/>cities—offering a truly rare balance of privacy and<br/>connectivity.<br/><br/>Dating back to the 17th century, with origins as a<br/>vineyard whose wines were once highly sought after, the house has been masterfully reimagined. <br/>The current owners have curated an exceptional home of uncompromising quality, where heritage architecture meets refined, contemporary living.<br/><br/>The principal house is nothing short of breathtaking. A dramatic entrance hall, crowned by soaring oak beams and framed by reclaimed stone, immediately sets a tone of quiet grandeur. <br/><br/>Beyond, a sequence of beautifully proportioned reception rooms unfold—each thoughtfully designed, each exquisitely<br/>finished—culminating in a sensational kitchen and living space at the heart of the home. Here, bespoke craftsmanship, a four-oven Aga, statement island and elegant limestone floors combine to create a space as functional as it is visually stunning, flowing seamlessly onto sun-drenched terraces and gardens beyond.<br/><br/>The bedroom suites are indulgent sanctuaries,<br/>defined by volume, light and meticulous attention<br/>to detail. Vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and<br/>luxuriously appointed bathrooms elevate each<br/>space, while the principal suite offers a particularly striking retreat - palatial in scale, yet warm and inviting in its design.<br/><br/>The Dairy provides an exceptional ancillary<br/>offering with two beautifully executed cottages<br/>that can function independently or as a substantial secondary residence. Finished to the same exacting standard, they present an ideal solution for guests, multi-generational living or a refined income opportunity.<br/><br/>The newly constructed barn is, quite simply,<br/>spectacular. Extending to over 4,000 sq ft, this<br/>dramatic structure—with its vast volumes and<br/>architectural timber framework—offers limitless<br/>potential, whether as a statement leisure space,<br/>studio or business use, subject to the necessary<br/>consents. There is extensive underground space<br/>that could be utilized for secure garaging for up to 7 vehicles.<br/><br/>The grounds have been designed with artistry and<br/>precision. Sweeping lawns, a picturesque pond<br/>with island, enchanting woodland and a series of<br/>terraces creates an ever-changing landscape of<br/>colour and texture throughout the seasons. There<br/>is a striking contemporary swimming pool set<br/>within expansive stone terraces and enjoying a<br/>wonderfully private outlook across the surrounding countryside. A discreetly integrated sound system enhances the experience, allowing music to be enjoyed throughout the space, whether hosting guests or unwinding in complete tranquillity.<br/><br/>Vineyards Farm is more than a home, it is a<br/>private estate of rare distinction, where history,<br/>craftsmanship and setting combine <br/><br/>
