MAGNIFICENT MANOR
With distant views of Windsor Castle, Harford Manor offers the best of town and country living
Harford Manor is a contemporary, 21st century home, offering the grandeur of an English country manor estate and the ultimate in modern luxury living.
International award-winning developers Quada sought to design a home where you could enjoy aesthetic delights and comfort, combined with extensive grounds providing helicopter landing ground, equestrian and polo facilities, and 40 acres of gentle countryside forming a private and secure estate. The core of Quada’s design approach is that architecture and culture evolve as a living, vibrant experience which is not meant to stand still. The majority of current designs of country houses tend to look backwards for their design references rather than forwards. Quada’s approach is to create an uncompromised home environment at this level and value which reflects and is capable of developing with the age we are living in, rather than one which has to adapt to designs that are several hundred years old.
The manor house combines space with intimacy. Light-filled rooms with floor to ceiling windows maximise views across the Berkshire countryside and connect the house to nature. Reception areas are elegant and its six bedrooms are all five-star. The main bedroom has two ensuites, as well as a spa with a sauna and double-size bath. It is a perfect sanctuary.
For recreation, there is a tennis court, a gym, 12-metre indoor pool and Jacuzzi, an entertainment room with a nine-screen video wall and bespoke snooker table, and opportunities for riding. Entertain in style with two kitchens allowing for family cooking, and a large catering kitchen perfect for visiting chefs and wine cellar. Three self-contained bedrooms accommodate staff and there is ample parking in the eight-car garage. London is under 30 miles away, with Heathrow just ten miles from your door, offering the best of town and country living. Harford Manor is for sale through Fine & Country, offers over £20 million. For further information or to book an appointment for the Open House on Sunday 28 November call Damion Merry on 07369 211735 or email damion.merry@ fineandcountry.com
