Video tours

Tucked away in the peaceful village of Middleton, next to the Jurassic Way, discover The Architects House at the bottom of a quiet, country, no-through-lane. Architecturally designed in the 1950s, this utterly unique, Swiss-style chalet home is set within a spacious plot and offers breath-taking views over the Welland Valley.
EPC Rating: D

SECLUDED SETTING

Pull through the timber gated entrance. Follow the sweeping pathway between the lawns, where mature trees and plants provide ample privacy before arriving at the Siberian larch clad, glass fronted, black and white minimalistic home. Beneath the canopied entrance step inside onto the polished concrete floor.

LIGHT-FILLED LIVING

Ahead, follow the light into the kitchen-family room, where sliding doors provide an all year round picture frame view of the gardens and valley beyond. Enjoy morning coffee or dine al fresco on the elevated terrace. Inside, a large, contemporary log-burning stove issues warmth and welcome. A marble monochrome central island provides an opportune spot for pulling up a stool. Sleek cabinetry offers ample storage whilst integrated appliances offer all a chef desires.

CONTEMPORARY CHIC

Entertain guests in the adjacent dining room, where valley views are once again the focal point. Beyond, engineered oak flooring extends throughout the sitting room, another light and bright room with fitted cupboards to one side and stylish contemporary radiators. Bifold doors open to the elevated decking beyond.

SOAK AND SLEEP

Retracing your steps through the entrance hallway to the bedroom wing, discover the first three bedrooms, all stylishly decorated with a contemporary, monochrome motif throughout. Soak up views of the valley from two of the bedrooms, while the third overlooks the front garden. Refreshment awaits in the family bathroom, conveniently located to serve three bedrooms and where guests can freshen up.

SUMPTUOUS AND SUBLIME

Sanctuary awaits in the principal suite. Tucked away, this supremely spacious room offers privacy and tranquility. Bifold doors open to the garden and fitted wardrobes provide ample storage. The stylish monochrome theme of the home continues in the principal en suite where there is a large walk-in shower.

ELEVATED VIEWS

A private wonderland awaits beneath the elevated terraces. A spectrum of colour awaits where the sloping, mature, landscaped garden provides shelter, a haven for wildlife and the ideal spot for the Finnish Kota hut and outside bar. What an incredible garden for entertaining family and friends, and for those younger generations to explore. Spot a deer or two in the woodlands or simply take in the fragrances of the abundance of trees, flowers and grasses.

We will capture the buyers' imagination and describe the wonderful lifestyle your home offers; that is, a loved and cherished home waiting for new memories to be made.  With our lifestyle directed professional photography we capture the rope-swing swaying off the Willow Tree with the picnic rug stretched out beneath, the fire pit glowing as the sun sets and the cosy sitting room tempting you back inside again to relax and unwind.  We are the only agent locally to take beautiful, imaginative and highly evocative twilight photographs that truly capture the imagination and set your property ahead of its competition.  We will design an aspirational 'magazine style' brochure that's completely unique to your home and compliments the lifestyle it offers.  The marketing we provide is bespoke to each individual home. We would love the opportunity to talk to you about our ideas in more detail.  Please call us, we’d love to hear about your plans.
