Waterfield House, situated close to Cranbrook, is a prizewinning family residence in a prime location in the rural English landscape.
To truly appreciate the beauty of England’s Garden, you should either invest in a distinguished property or construct your own masterpiece. For those who opt to build, it appears that amassing a collection of abbreviations is a silent testament to the home’s excellence.
Currently listed by Savills for £3.95 million, Waterfield House is a custom-built marvel boasting an impressive array of accolades and certifications. As I’ve been informed, this accumulation of acronyms is a testament to its quality.
The main entrance atrium provides expansive views of the surrounding area.
The estate is the RIBA South East architectural champion for 2023 and a contender for BHA Home of the Year. Nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), it features mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) across the residence. If there’s a home-related acronym, this property likely has it.
The spacious master bedroom, along with the other four bedrooms is on the home’s lower level.
But leaving the jargon aside, the essence of this building is a magnificent five-bedroom, five-bathroom dwelling in one of England’s most sought-after counties – a true gem.
The meticulously arranged gardens evolve into picturesque parkland.
Spanning two floors in an L configuration, the house cleverly integrates into the hillside, inverting the traditional layout with bedrooms, cinema, and gym on the lower floor, leaving the main living and entertainment spaces above, optimizing the panoramic views.
Various indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing and relaxation.
Waterfield House represents a modern rural residence that perfectly merges with its natural setting, adopting contemporary construction techniques for sustainability without overlooking traditional country-house elements. It’s a harmonious fusion of historical charm and modern innovation.
The top-floor kitchen and reception rooms are designed to make the most of the stunning vistas.
Spanning around 5 acres, the gardens start meticulously near the house and gradually blend into the classic Kentish landscape as they extend outward.
A fully equipped, state-of-the-art cinema room.
Goudhurst, the village nearby, is favoured by agent Duncan Petrie, featuring a historic church, duck pond, period architecture, and inviting inns and restaurants. Conveniently located near Royal Tunbridge Wells and Cranbrook, the area offers good schools and London is just a train ride away.
Waterfield House is being presented by Savills at £3.95 million.
