A rare and unique opportunityAn opportunity to create an outstanding home in the glorious tradition

of English country estates has arisen at Nutbourne Park.

Th e potential to establish this new private estate in the heart of the English countryside

can now be brought to fruition with consent for the construction of a palatial Robert

Adam designed house. Th e innovator has the opportunity to personalise the layout and

specifi cation with a view to designing a home not just for today but for future generations.

Arriving home and sweeping through this magnifi cent landscape will always be a moment

to savour. Th rough the progressing seasons, the ever-changing parkland setting forms a

glorious protective backdrop to the house which will nestle in its expansive amphitheatre.

Th e feeling of pride in the creation of Nutbourne Park will have no bounds.

“Nutbourne Park bears all the attributesin becoming one of the great English

country estates”

Robert AdamThe renowned British architect

Two hundred and twelve acres of stunning landscape

Th is area of outstanding natural beauty comprising parkland, paddocks, lakes and ancient woodland which is dominated by

majestic oak trees, some over fi ve hundred years old. Th ere are also many other specimen beech, chestnut, ash and alder trees

throughout the woodland which in April and May is carpeted in a sea of bluebells and other rare woodland fl owers.

Th e area is criss-crossed by a series of private paths and rides

which are ideal for walking and riding and the estate is also

surrounded by excellent riding country and bridleways.

Th e ninety acres of paddocks and grassland are situated north

and south of the main house and can be accessed from the

network of estate roads or direct from Vann Lane. Th e Blundens

Wood and Halfpenny Copse fi elds which are located to the

south of the house make in total nine separate paddocks all

bordered by ancient woodland.

Th e estate has in total six entrances – the principal entrance and

the carriage drive entrance are both from Roundals Lane and

which lead to the main house, cottages and stables. Th e other

four entrances lead to paddocks and woodland.

Robert AdamA visionary architectInternationally renowned Adam Architecture is a world leader in

the ‘classic contemporary’ design movement. Working on buildings

such as the British School in Rome and the Sackler Library at the

Ashmolean Museum, the practice combines tradition with the

latest technology.

It is the design philosophy that underpins Nutbourne Park today.

“Nutbourne Park has a unique setting. I have seen many sites for

new and replacement country houses in my time yet I have never

seen anything quite like this. It is something about the dramatic

use of water combined with unusual privacy, security and ancient

woodland that make this project so remarkable.”

15

16

Relatively few large country houses have been

built in recent decades and here is a rare occasion

to create something literate within the tradition

of fine English country estates.

Many deliberately unusual houses have been designed in recent

times but it is far greater to employ academic accuracy with an

understanding of country houses to create something much finer.

The interior offers unlimited opportunity because of the dramatic

space and the chain of ancillary buildings is in keeping with

tradition providing staff and guest accommodation, garaging and

stabling. One of the most exciting things about this setting is that

there are few restrictions for the landscape immediately around

the house and this can be sculpted to suit personal tastes.

It will take commitment and inspiration to complete Nutbourne

Park, but nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see this

project come to fruition.

Pleasing symmetry of a classical design

Each of the four elevations of the house is equally impressive which

will be appreciated from the formal gardens and numerous vantage

points along woodland paths in the landscape.

Th e formal carriageway approach allows glimpses of the large upper

lake which appears to be a swathe of river mirroring the sweep of the

drive with willow trees spilling into the water. A tantalising glimpse

of rooftops teases the visitor onwards around the bend in the hill

when the full glory of the house will be revealed.

Th e carriageway arrives at the western elevation which makes a grand

statement with its splendid pillared entrance.

“Relatively few grand country houses have been created within the last several decades and this is a unique site” Robert Adam

Close to the house the formal gardens will be laid out to

provide an openness giving way to a sequence of lakes

and the gentle rise of the wooded hills climbing away

into the distance.

Tennis courts and other leisure facilities incorporated

into the landscape design may be tucked discreetly

away or given prominence and there is also potential

for a home farm.

Leisure facilities, staff accommodation,

garaging and stabling are all placed

discreetly but conveniently close to the main

house providing a self-contained estate.

Interiors that exude style and grandeurNutbourne Park will provide the perfect environment for the ultimate

in gracious living. Th e palatial scale of the house provides for a bespoke

layout and highly personalised leisure facilities.

Working together with designers and specialist

craftsmen to create a unique interior is one

of the most exciting, life-defining moments.

The classical proportions of the formal rooms and circulation

space allow for large scale features such as stone pillars

and fabulous galleried staircases. This is an outstanding

backdrop for existing collections of art and furniture or the

consummate excuse to launch into new ones.

The benefits of dealing with a virgin building, constructed

to the very latest specifications are incalculable. Levels

of insulation, concealed electronics and state of the art

technology enable not only an elegant and imposing house

to be created but also a home which has the highest degree

of comfort and convenience.

Creating a legacy

36

39

Gardens are an integral part of the English countryside. They are

part of the pattern, merging with it and forming an indivisible

part of the whole. Something about England seems to engender

a compulsion to garden, to create a landscape and nowhere is the

potential as great to make a new major country house garden

as Nutbourne Park.

The initial design is by eminent garden designer Michael Balston

and comprises a series of terraces providing a platform for the

house bedecked with brightly coloured floral beds leading to the

cool green lawns and on to the lakes and streams beyond.

This area is some forty acres and is surrounded by ancient woodland

which gives a classic and private backdrop for this new garden.

Formal gardensand landscape

Hambledon -an idyllic Surrey villagesteeped in history

Village life centres around the church, village hall, the village shop and the

cricket club with active committees and fund raising for local community

projects. St Peter’s Church was rebuilt in the mid-19th century and replaced an

early medieval church on the site.

However two ancient yews in the churchyard indicate an even earlier settlement

with the larger claiming the title of the oldest tree so far recorded in Surrey and

dates back to AD800.

This ancient village was established more than a thousand

years ago and a strong sense of community has developed.

43

Many of the local villages have grown from clusters

of farm holdings with the larger centres of Guildford,

Haslemere and Godalming gaining strength from their

proximity to London with fast rail and road links to the

capital. However, a slower pace of life can be enjoyed

in this rural setting more in tune with the seasons

and traditional country pursuits.

The widespread gentrification of Surrey villages has

seen an appreciation of period homes and a desire to

retain and improve cottages and larger homes in

these rural areas.

However, even with many people commuting to larger

conurbations on a daily basis, many local incomes are

still reliant on rural lifestyles and this lends the area

a background rooted in tradition.

A slower pace of life

44

An enviable lifestyleTh e space within Nutbourne Park itself offers fabulous

opportunities for country pursuits with woodland

paths for walking, fi shing on the lakes, paddocks for

horses with a network of bridleways on the doorstep

and superb undergrowth for raising of young fowl for

the shooting season.

45

Within the Surrey Hills’ Area of Outstanding Natural

Beauty there is a diverse and rich landscape waiting to

be discovered, accessed by an extensive footpath and

road network surrounded by beautiful countryside,

wooded hills, heathland and valleys.

Within the local area there is unlimited access to

leisure pursuits including golf, rugby, cricket, tennis

and sailing on lakes and the south coast with additional

spectator sports such as polo at Cowdray Park,

horse racing at Ascot to the North and all manner of

attractions at Goodwood in the South.

46

Just a short distance from one of the world’s greatest citiesFrom this quiet and private setting in the heart of the English

countryside the connections are, however, exceptional with most

of London’s best-known landmarks just a short distance away.

Commuting to the West End and the City is easy and convenient.

For those at the heart of domestic and international business,

this is a fantastic base within easy reach of commuter routes and

both major and private airports.
