Luxborough House makes an immediate impression, approached through remote-controlled hardwood gates and a recently tarmacked driveway framed by mature hornbeam, beech and holly hedging, creating a wonderful sense of privacy. The impressive arched entrance, framed beneath a bespoke brick and tiled storm porch, opens into a magnificent reception hall where polished limestone flooring, a soaring vaulted ceiling and full-height atrium glazing combine to create an extraordinary sense of light and volume. A striking open staircase by German manufacturer Kenngott, with oak treads and steel detailing, rises elegantly through the centre of the house.

Double doors open into a beautifully appointed dual-aspect lounge, where engineered oak flooring, bespoke wooden plantation shutters, a stone-surround fireplace with log burner and French doors opening onto the gardens create an elegant and welcoming space for entertaining.

Gardens & Grounds
The grounds are an integral part of the appeal of Luxborough House, extending to approximately 1.4 acres of beautifully landscaped south-facing gardens, thoughtfully designed by a Chelsea Flower Show garden designers. The setting is wonderfully private, enclosed by established hedging and mature trees, while open countryside beyond provides an idyllic rural outlook.

A deep Indian sandstone terrace creates an elegant area for outdoor entertaining, bordered by raised brick beds and deep sleeper borders filled with roses, ceanothus, euphorbia, lavender and an abundance of ornamental planting. A beautiful rill water feature framed by a mature lavender hedging extends from the central axis of the house, creating a stunning architectural feature with stone steps leading down towards the mature rear gardens and the enchanting lily pond, where a raised deck and charming gazebo provide a delightful place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Beyond the formal gardens lies an extensive productive garden with raised beds and fruit cages, producing asparagus, rhubarb, raspberries, redcurrants, strawberries and other seasonal produce. The adjoining meadow and orchard provide a haven for wildlife, together with an abundance of apples, pears and plums, while five magnificent ornamental cherry trees create a spectacular display of blossom each spring. Mature redwoods, Scots pine, oak, liquidambar, amelanchier, mountain ash and willow add structure and maturity, with areas of natural woodland renowned for their spring bluebells and abundant wildlife.

The grounds also provide an impressive range of practical facilities.
