Description
Conceived by the distinguished architectural partnership of Habershon and Faulkner, this Grade II listed residence stands as a testament to Victorian Gothic Revival excellence. Fields House presents a compelling synthesis of 19th-century craftsmanship and thoughtfully integrated modern amenities, creating spaces that honour historical provenance while embracing contemporary lifestyle demands.
The imposing Gothic-inspired façade showcases individually carved stone corbels, each a unique expression of Victorian stonework artistry. Behind secure gated access, generous parking provision accommodates multiple vehicles, befitting this distinguished address. Recent restoration work has been executed with scholarly attention to period authenticity, ensuring historical integrity remains paramount throughout.
The residence gained recognition through its feature in an Original Features documentary, highlighting its architectural significance and careful preservation approach. Multi-paned sash windows punctuate the elevations, creating a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow while maintaining authentic Victorian proportions.
The entrance sequence unfolds through a substantial reception hall, where handcrafted oak parquet flooring creates geometric patterns beneath soaring ceilings. A wood-burning stove provides both warmth and visual focus, establishing an immediate sense of arrival.
The study commands views across landscaped gardens toward a tranquil pond, while an Italian marble fireplace creates a sophisticated focal point. Contemporary infrastructure, including superfast broadband connectivity, ensures modern functionality within this period setting. Evening entertaining finds its natural home in the dining room, where an original fireplace provides atmospheric warmth for intimate gatherings. Throughout the residence, an operational Victorian bell system remains functional, offering charming period authenticity.
The drawing room emerges as the architectural crescendo, featuring imposing mullioned windows dressed with original wooden shutters. Elaborate gilded cornice work draws attention to the generous ceiling heights, while natural light creates ever-changing patterns throughout the day.
Ground floor amenities include a sauna with adjacent shower facilities, guest WC, and comprehensive utility arrangements. A former maid's quarters, complete with mezzanine level, offers flexible accommodation options, while a traditional wine cellar provides optimal storage conditions for fine vintages.
The kitchen harmoniously blends period charm with contemporary functionality. A traditional Aga provides consistent warmth alongside a secondary range for ambitious culinary endeavours. Belfast sink installation maintains period authenticity, while extensive cabinetry incorporates contrasting subway tile detailing. French-style fenestration frames views toward the side garden, and central positioning accommodates substantial dining arrangements. An expansive pantry features traditional slate shelving, providing temperature-controlled storage ideal for artisanal provisions and seasonal preserves.
A galleried first-floor landing creates dramatic circulation space leading to the principal suite, where river views extend the interior experience into the surrounding landscape. The master bedroom features a classic Adam-style fireplace, complemented by dedicated dressing facilities and an exceptional en suite bathroom. Here, a spacious walk-in shower and twin basins set within a Victorian washstand frame a magnificent double-ended slipper bath as the suite's architectural centrepiece.
Four additional bedrooms, each distinguished by feature fireplaces, provide flexible accommodation options. One benefits from en suite shower facilities, while the principal family bathroom showcases Art Deco influences from its 1940s design period, with comprehensive ceramic tiling throughout. Two attic chambers offer potential for children's recreation spaces or flexible study areas, maximizing the residence's accommodation potential.
Mature boundary plantings create natural privacy screening while four distinct lawn areas provide recreational diversity. The productive kitchen garden demonstrates horticultural heritage through established fruit trees and organized vegetable cultivation areas, embodying sustainable living principles. A dedicated patio and barbecue zone facilitates outdoor entertaining within this secluded setting, where mature trees and established hedgerows ensure complete privacy for al fresco occasions.
