The house, which was only completed in 2019, is on its own estate in the Howardian Hills and even has a three-bedroom poolhouse
“The valley was accessed by a steep road and there were lots of trees, which had never been managed. I could see that the site had huge potential.”
He and his family lived in the old farmhouse on the estate while the build was underway. They moved into the new, 18,000 sq ft home at the end of 2019 and have enjoyed all it has to offer. It is enormous and it’s modern but it has a wonderful feel and it’s very cosy,” says Julian.The property was constructed with a palette of materials that includes limestone, large areas of glazing,
“Little did I know that this was going to test every ounce of my skill and determination. Just acquiring the land took several years. I knew exactly what I wanted early on and provided a detailed brief for the house from a bridge to the front door to a loo with a view.”The project was undertaken in stages, starting with the new entrance and exit roads, followed by the creation of three upper lakes.
