Turnpike Studio is an Arts and Crafts Period estate, situated 1 hour from London in the Hampshire Countryside. The property consists of a large house, lodge, cottage and summer house situated in 4.8 acres of gardens, orchard and pasture with ample access and parking for several large vehicles.
The main house includes an open plan kitchen/living area of approx 85 sqM constructed in 2020 with modern fixtures whilst maintaining traditional designs, floral design wallpaper blending into the internal and external foliage with natural light beaming through the french full height doors and skylight. On warmer summer days the room is blended into a 1 acre traditional english south facing garden, highlighting the features of a large caved dragon sculpture, red phone boxes and unique arts and crafts styled architectural chimneys and roof top.
When entering the estate down a winding well trodden lane, weaving through the apple blossoms and historic tree line, an image of a traditional working house appears at the final turn where an inviting arched doorway welcomes visitors into its cosy interior.
The summer house features a modern and brightly coloured North African decor and a 12M heated pool surrounded by extensive patio, high tree lines and hedges ensuring privacy and uniqueness from the main grounds. At dusk on a summer’s day, the sun shimmers across the pool as it sets beyond the distant tree line beyond the open fields.
Strolling through the orchard in spring as the cherry blossoms gently fall in the breeze guides the way to the open field and traditional kitchen garden bursting into life with aromatic herbs and bright foliage appearing through the raised beds.
A NOTE FROM THE OWNER
“The house has been carefully designed with love and a desire to entertain its guests. The separation of buildings through design allows all the seasons to flourish. Whether summer days by the pool or winter nights by the log fire, we have always desired the house to be used and loved as it was intended.”
