Far from the Madding Crowd and yet so close

The Garden House, Sutton Courtenay
02 August 2012

A quiet and secluded haven, The Garden House nestles in an idyllic spot just a stone’s throw from the thriving village of Sutton Courtenay. Perfect if you like the idea of hiding away, but not so isolated as to be unsociable.

With a different type of property, the garden might be described as leaning towards ‘cottage garden’ style. There are mature trees and shrubs, and flowers that appear as if sprinkled across the lawn. The lawn area surrounds the property, leading you through areas of both light and shade. The current owner has sought to really take advantage of the garden constructing a wooden decked area of ample proportions and in keeping with the property the deck was built using only cedar wood. A magnet for local wildlife, it’s no accident that the living areas are all placed to take full advantage.

If you could use just three words to describe The Garden House they would almost certainly be, contemporary, light and spacious. The design and materials used demonstrate an understanding of and sensitivity towards the local environment, resulting in a harmonious blend of old and new, modern and traditional. The use of solar panels is a huge bonus; providing all the energy used May – October 2011. The combination of wide spaces, high ceilings and the ample provision of glass encourage light to literally flood the property, ensuring a calming sense of wellbeing. Storage space, or rather lack of, is so often a bone of contention. As in all other areas, The Garden House more than satisfies this need, every nook and cranny that could be utilised as storage has been.

Home to many a large gathering; this is the perfect house for all year round entertaining, both inside and out.

Is there such a thing as too much chocolate? (26 April 2013)

One mention of a thatched property and the words ‘chocolate box’ are usually never too far behind. Gorgeous though they may be, one does occasionally yearn for just a bit more space, yet without sacrificing the look and feel of a property style that essentially feeds our hearts and minds.
