Described as 'a home of real warmth and substance,' Deer's Leap offers high-quality, spacious accommodation, as well as stabling, paddocks and workshops.
On the outskirts of the village of Micheldever, Deer’s Leap is an unusual, oak-frame, barn-style house, clad in English cedar, that draws on the Arts-and-Crafts for inspiration and was designed by the architect Huw Thomas.
The property is currently on the market via Winkworth with a guide price of £2.25 million, and including its substantial outbuildings, offers 6,000sq ft of accommodation in total.
‘Magnificent arches over the most impressive log-burning chimney’ are part of the exposed joinery aesthetic and, together with a galleried landing, provide a focal point to the spacious four-bedroom house.
The 3¼-acre grounds include an ornamental pond, gardens, stables, garage, car barn, garden store, kennels and workshop, with direct gated access into the Forestry Commission’’s tranquil Micheldever Woods, known for its flurry of bluebells in spring.
