Ashcombe House
Quietly set against a backdrop of protected woodland.
Country Living + Innovative Design
Ashcombe House presents a refined modern home that draws its strength from the landscape it inhabits. Positioned along the edge of the site, the house is quietly anchored against a backdrop of protected woodland to the west. Its form steps naturally into the slope of the land, creating a three-storey composition where the sub basement level opens directly onto the garden. This careful siting ensures the house rests low within the terrain, preserving long views across the treetops while maintaining an atmosphere of privacy and retreat.

The Internal Flow
Ashcombe House is organised around a vaulted family and dining area, a dramatic social heart that draws light deep into the plan while establishing a sense of scale and generosity. This space flows outward towards terraces that step down into the garden, reinforcing the connection between house and landscape. Floor-to-ceiling glazing dissolves the boundary between inside and out, creating moments of stillness and immersion within the natural surroundings. Accommodation is arranged across the three levels to combine comfort, privacy, and flexibility.
The Interior Finish
Throughout, materials and finishes have been chosen to complement the woodland setting, with a palette of soft tones, natural textures, and precise detailing. This restraint enhances the architecture’s clarity while allowing light and landscape to play a defining role. Every element has been approached with care, from the craftsmanship of joinery to the discreet integration of sustainable technologies. Underfloor heating, high-performance glazing, and energy-efficient systems contribute to comfort and longevity without compromising the house’s quiet aesthetic.
Architecture + Interior Vision
Floor plans
Accommodation is arranged across the three levels to combine comfort, privacy, and flexibility. The sub-basement houses a collection of bedrooms that open directly to the garden, each benefiting from outlook and natural light, and establishing a strong relationship with the landscape. The master suite occupies a privileged position, expansive in scale and refined in detail. On the top floor, a guest bedroom, bathroom, and mezzanine level provide adaptable spaces, ideal for visiting family or moments of retreat, all while enjoying elevated views across the treetops.
