This bespoke estate known as Hampton Lodge was completed in 2011 by the premier builder, Bruce McMillan. It is situated on a picturesque lot, just shy of 3 acres, that offers a secluded meadow and a wooded area with private walking trails. The floor plan can be traced back to a 1600’s rendering of a European Villa by Inigo Jones. The owners engaged the services of local architect, Gary Nichols, to assist them in making their vision a reality. The aesthetic sensibility of Hampton Lodge embraces Inigo Jones’ design principle – understated elegance – both inside and outside. Entering the home you are greeted by a breathtaking centre hall that divides the house into what is known as the private and public spaces. Hampton Lodge is truly a visual treat and the symmetrical balance of oversized windows and 10’6” ceilings allows every season to be a stunning backdrop. This property was featured in Our Homes (London and Area) in 2014 and the article was entitled “English Sensibility”. The editor stated: “This is a curated home with exquisite attention to detail and craftsmanship.” The current décor reflects the sellers’ love of history, art and antiques. However, the timeless design and architectural details would allow the new owner to evolve the décor to their particular taste – whether it be country chic, contemporary or mid century modern. Hampton Lodge offers an expansive one floor plan of approximately 3,700 square feet that is both spacious and intimate. (id:4069)
