Spare a thought Winter is on its way and cold weather will soon touch every region in the country. While we are fortunate enough to have cosy homes, there are many who have no place to shelter. Each year, as winter approaches and temperatures drop, many homeless people move from the streets to shelter systems to escape the cold. However, few communities have city-wide cold-weather response plans and there are gaping holes in accessibility.

attendees enjoyed paintings and sculpture works from three renowned Australian Artists: Stephen Glassborow, Linda-Dry Parker and Heidi-Lee Warta.

“I have always liked the [Fine & Country] brand: its look and feel, and what it stands for, what it can offer. It gives us and many other independent agents in Australia a welcomed alternative to a premium, global estate agency brand that will assist in listing and selling more high-end properties,” says Fine.

At least a quarter of a million people find themselves homeless each year. Those who can’t find shelter sleep rough, which has serious consequences. On average, homeless people die at just 47 years old, compared to 81 years for the average UK citizen and the streets are a dangerous place to be – homeless people are 13 times more likely to be a victim of violent crime than the general public and 47 times more likely to be a victim of theft.

There is no national figure for how many people are homeless across the UK, as homelessness is recorded differently in each nation and many homeless people do not show up in official statistics at all. Government statistics do show that last year, 2,714 people slept rough in England on any one night. That’s a lot of people sheltering in doorways in the biting cold.

So spare a thought for homeless people this winter. Consider supporting a local charity addressing the issues and keep an eye out for future fundraising events that Fine & Country will be running to support the Foundation and provide assistance for those less fortunate. For more information please go to www.fineandcountry/foundation.

New to the tee Fine & Country Golf has announced a new partnership with OnCourse Golf, a Dubai based company specialising in golf events.

The company specialises in managing golf events on behalf of their corporate clients, from preparing tournaments to arranging awards, and Stephen Rutter, Managing Director of OnCourse Golf, has developed a reputable database of clients with an interest in investing in golf property and the lifestyle that such properties offer.

The joint venture will allow Fine & Country Golf properties around the world to be recommended to these connections in the golfing industry. “I believe that I am at the forefront of what is happening in the golf industry and therefore can see the potential of how I can help Fine & Country Golf grow, not only where I am currently based in the Middle East, but also internationally,” says Rutter.

“Working with Fine & Country Golf will be an exciting challenge and I am confident that with my expertise and determination,

the department will grow to be an outstanding division of what is already a highly reputable company.” This will complement Fine & Country Golf’s partnerships with Troon Golf, the world’s premier luxury golf course management company, and European Tour Properties, a network of world-class golf venues.

SEA AND STONES EUROPEAN GOLFERS ARE LOOKING BEYOND THE WELL-KNOWN GOLFING MECCAS. DANIEL PRICE FINDS CULTURE AND COURSES IN ESTONIA. Many golfers in Europe seek out the selection of courses situated in the southern area of the continent, with Spain and Portugal among the prime locations. However, people in the know are now looking elsewhere for their golfing weekend, in a climate where the air is clear and the nature remains largely undiscovered. Welcome to Estonia.

Estonia may be familiar to those who enjoy taking a cultural or nature-based weekend break. Tallinn is not just one of the most picturesque towns in Estonia; it’s one of Europe’s real gems.

Furthermore, the country itself is far less populated than many others on the continent, meaning large areas of countryside and forest have remained untouched.

“Both courses are situated in a heritage area, which has more than 5,000 years of history, with people living and playing different games,” says Estonian Golf and Country Club CEO, Hanno Kross.

“The nine-hole Stone Course is on top of a cliff, which has completely different nature to that of the Sea Course, which is situated where 10,000 years ago, after the Ice Age, the sea was located.”

It immediately becomes apparent that this is not your standard golf club. In fact, it’s far from it. An example of one of the holes on the Stone Course sums up the uniqueness of EGCC. “The stone

What is the relevance of all this to golf? Well, a short 20 minute drive from Tallinn, which is also home to Estonia’s main airport, sits Estonian Golf and Country Club. Positioned in a rural location next to the Baltic Sea, Estonian Golf and Country

Club boasts two tremendous golf courses. One, is the stunning 18-hole Championship Sea Course and the other is the nine-hole, links-style Stone Course. So what is it about this location that lends itself to a great golfing experience?

course. Playing out over 7,000 yards, the course winds its way through an unspoilt forest landscape, reaching out to the sea and the Jägala River. This is a long course but it’s not just the length that will test your golf game. There are a number of undulations on the course, with changes of elevation up to 40 metres and the natural ponds and oak alleys keep your mind on the game throughout your round.

course has 4,000-year-old stone graves on the course. If you hit the ball there, you can’t play your shot, you have to take a free drop,” explains Kross. The Stone Course, designed on a limestone plain, is steeped in history and can easily make your mind wander, as you play your way around the holes. Given its design and likeness to a British links course, however, the wind can play a part, so try and concentrate on your golf…if you can.

Regularly voted among the top 100 golf courses in Europe and recognised by Golf World magazine as one of the best European golf courses, the Sea Course has been making waves around the continent. Kross reflects on the success of the course, saying: “The Sea Course has been voted four times in a row to the Top 100 golf courses in continental Europe and has hosted many international individual European Championships and also the World Cup Qualifiers twice.” Not only that, but next year, the men’s individual European Championship will be held on the Sea Course, which highlights its standing in the professional European game.

If the Stone Course is a treat to the senses, taking you back to a time gone by, the Sea Course is certain to get you thinking about your golf game once more. The Sea Course is an 18-hole Championship

It speaks volumes for EGCC that it has been part of the prestigious European Tour Properties network for many years. The real estate at the venue blends seamlessly with the natural environment and presents a unique living opportunity, within five distinct village areas. “The result is a unique way of life that is only possible here.

Gorgeous nature, golf courses, birds and animals, serenity and safety,” says Real Estate Director Mait Schmidt. Each of the five villages has been designed by a different architect, yet remains loyal to the traditional style of villages found on the Estonian coast.

It truly is a unique living environment and one that will appeal to those who have had the pleasure of visiting the different villages.

That being said, many golf clubs around the world are now offering property and resort-style facilities. What is it that makes Estonian Golf and Country Club stand out from the crowd? As far as Kross is concerned, it’s the location. “It is far from the roads, totally silent and inside nature itself. Nature in this part of the world is very, very important. The houses can’t be more visible than the nature which surrounds them: the houses should be part of nature.”

Following a testing round of golf on the Sea Course, what better way to dissect your game and relax, than at the clubhouse. The location could not be better, within easy walking distance of both courses, the driving range, practice greens and golf school. The clubhouse is central to all of the facilities at EGCC. As with the other buildings around the golf club, the clubhouse has been built with both tradition and local influence in mind. There’s plenty on offer inside, including a restaurant, pro shop, dressing rooms, sauna and a conference room.

It’s clear, in terms of a golfing venue, how Estonian Golf and Country Club has gone that extra mile to ensure it offers an authentic, local experience, both on and off the course. In that respect, it certainly delivers, but there is plenty more on the horizon. “We have signed a contract with Annika Sörenstam and European Golf Design, to build a new 18-hole golf course, which will be her first in Europe,” states Kross. “There will also be a hotel and spa complementing the clubhouse, which is an interesting design. In 2019, EGCC will be a resort with 36 holes, one by a signature designer and the other one, which has hosted a number of great international tournaments, will have taken its rightful place in the top 100 golf courses in Europe.”

A sign of a successful golf club is continued development and forward thinking, which Estonian Golf and Country Club are achieving, to very high standards. If you are looking for an enjoyable, affordable round of golf or a golfing property, situated in a calm, rural and historic location, Estonian Golf and Country Club awaits. n

Agents Comment Charles Roberts, Managing Partner Fine & Country Portugal 2015 has seen a complete change around in the market for luxury properties in the areas of Lisbon, Cascais and Estoril.

Having been moribund for five years, we are now seeing dynamic activity at sensible prices. Portugal’s Non Habitual Tax Residency scheme, which allows foreigners to benefit from zero taxation at home or in Portugal guaranteed for 10 years minimum on their investment, and pension income has been a real driver in this respect, with Northern Europeans fleeing high taxation in their countries for the sunshine and lifestyle offered in Portugal.

Quinta Patino is named after late Bolivian billionaire Antenor Patino, known as the ‘King of Tin’. He owned the estate in the 1960s and built his palatial home and gardens here. Now, the residential development represents luxury and comfortable living, within the secure space. Here, elegance and discretion combine with superb design and beautiful gardens, planted with a variety of exotic trees and plants. Lakes can also be found, complementing the views of the sea and the hills of Sintra, and residents have access to tennis courts, a gym and 24-hour security.

The location is superb. Quinta Patino is a short drive from the world-heritage town of Sintra, where in addition to the Sintra Mountains and Sintra-Cascais Nature Park, the parishes of the town are dotted with royal retreats, estates, castles and other fantastic buildings, including the medieval Castelo dos Mouros, the Pena

National Palace and the Sintra National Palace. For avid golfers, the golf courses of Estoril and Cascais, such as the Penha Longa, Quinta da Marinha and Oitavos, beckon, as do the sunshine and beaches nearby.

Beyond the development, the International Airport of Lisbon, along with the city’s ancient culture and modern charm, is a mere half-hour drive, allowing for easy travel. Cascais Executive Airport for private jets is 10 minutes away. Connection couldn’t be easier.

It’s family friendly, too. Four of the major international schools in the area are within a 10-minute drive.

Quinta Patino offers an escape from the mundane, a home with a premier lifestyle on your doorstep and all its accoutrements, a place of relaxed comfortable living. A place that can be home. n

I’VE DONE THE LOT THE RIVER LOT, FRANCE’S SEVENTH BIGGEST RIVER, WINDS THROUGH FARMLAND AND VILLAGES, PROVIDING SCENIC VISTAS ALONG ITS LENGTH. BRONWEN HILLER BOATS THE LOT. We arrive at Douelle on the River Lot in France ready to board our boat, which will provide accommodation for the next two weeks.

This is not a five-star river cruise, but rather a self-catering, self-navigating, work the locks yourself type holiday. It is my fourth biannual boat trip with this group of friends. Having cut our teeth on the Canal du Midi, we moved onto the Canal de Nivernais, a lesser known gem in Burgundy. We are fortunate to have a passionate sailor in our party, who enjoys boating and was prepared to gain a Master 5 qualification with a CEVNI (European waterways certification), allowing us to graduate to the coast of Italy and sail in style into the Venetian lagoon. This year, it’s the Lot. With this experience under our belts, here we are, armed with local fare from the market at Cahors; several fresh baguettes and enough food to ensure that we will survive the minor inconvenience of the Sunday shut-down of many small French towns. After a

quick overview by a technician and a practice run around the basin, including a refresher on reversing with the rear of the boat to the quay, we wander to a local family-run restaurant for an excellent meal. Having two weeks to make our way upstream to Saint Cirq de Lapopie and back down to Luzech before returning to Douelle we opt to take it slow and remain in port for the night.

Cahors is the capital of this region. Historically the town was an important part of the Roman Empire, when it served as a major wine producing area. After a turbulent history it is once again known for the production of full-bodied red wines using Malbec grapes. It occupies a small peninsula in a loop in the river and features the beautiful 14th Century Pont Valentre bridge.

Emerging on our first morning, we find the mist is still floating a few metres above the river giving it an air of mystery. It is not long

before the sun bursts through and we have a perfect autumn day to begin our journey. The River Lot is the longest river in south-west France meandering for 300 miles until it reaches the Garonne. The short 80-mile stretch that we are exploring provides a new vista around each bend.

The first day’s run serves as a refresher on the process of going through locks. By the fifth lock we are all feeling confident in our roles. Having six people on board simplifies this, with one driver, two on ropes, two on opening the locks and one back-up. All the locks, except for one, are manual without lock-keepers in attendance.

The value of having a problem-solver as part of the crew is brought home to us when over-enthusiastic cranking at one lock results in an uncoupling of the lock gate. The first response is to ignore the sign that says “don’t use force” and try the brute strength approach.

When this fails, a more delicate approach with some engineering analysis is used, resulting in success.

This style of travel provides the convenience of unpacking just once and the flexibility of choosing the location for each mooring as we travel. Something we learnt on the first trip was to allow time for this. A trip that is advertised as a one-week sail can create pressure to travel a certain distance each day. This pressure is increased by having to wait at locks if there is a large amount of river traffic, usually experienced during high season. The locks that have keepers are also closed for one hour for lunch. Travelling at the end of the

holiday season and on a river with manual locks reduces the time pressure. Despite this, approaching a new lock provides a moment of intensity as we attempt to see if the gates are open for us to sail straight in.

TRAVEL EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

The river is considerably more challenging than canals, with weirs producing cross currents that are tricky to negotiate when entering and exiting locks. This becomes a topic of conversation amongst skippers from diverse countries. It is reassuring to find that even experienced boaters find the river testing. There is a noticeable collegiality that develops amongst water-travellers, bonding through the shared experience.

There are other challenges that face travellers emanating from the limitation of space. We have opted for a boat with two bathrooms and four cabins, which, with only six people, means the saloon remains a communal area without conversion to an extra sleeping space. It is, however, easy to forget to remove the toilet paper when one is showering. The kitchen is adequate for two people preparing meals, which we tend to do every second day, opting for local restaurants on other nights. Market days are highlights, allowing us to stock up on the specialities of the region and as long as there is a boulangerie (bakery) within walking distance, we are not going to fade away. Only occasionally do we allow an envious glance to escape when we are moored beside a larger, newer more salubrious boat, reminding each other of the difference in cost.

Apart from wonderful French food, one of the highlights of this particular trip is a visit to St Cirq de Lapopie, a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (the most beautiful villages of France). It perches on a cliff, 100 metres above the river, the location originally selected for defense. The walk looks daunting, but a walking track meandering gently upwards, brings us to this museum-like gem after a mere 15 minutes. Our group disperses according to interest; some to the museum, others to the church or the lookout, which provides an amazing panorama, with the river winding through farming land and vineyards. We are happy to have chosen to travel in the off season, as the village reportedly hosts up to 400,000 visitors each year.

Our travel downstream includes a stop at Bouzies, from where we organise a visit to the cave of Pech Merle. Described as the “Sistine Chapel of the Causses of the Lot district, one of the most beautiful monuments in Palaeolithic pictorial art” by French prehistorian Abbot Breuil, the cave is another highlight, not only for the prehistoric paintings but also for the amazing geological formations.

In particular, the cave pearls or pistolites that have been formed by specks of sand gradually coated by calcite and polished by running water serve as yet another reminder of the beauty found in nature.

We conclude our journey by celebrating our successful navigation at the same restaurant in Douelle where we enjoyed our first meal.

The weeks have flown by, albeit at a slow cruising pace. We may have done the Lot, but we’re already planning our next trip. n

Top: Emirates Air Line zips over the O2.

Bottom: The Thames Clipper.

The coffee-coloured water of the River Thames swirls past as I board the Thames Clipper, flashing my River Roamer pass at the attendant. I settle into a seat by the window and gaze at London’s waterside developments as they drift past, struck by the architectural repurposing that has transformed the warehouses and dockside facilities of old into desirable, modern apartments and penthouses. It’s easy to forget the River Thames as you browse the market at Covent Garden or stroll through Hyde Park, but much of the Capital’s development has relied on this arterial waterway.

We soon pull in to North Greenwich, home of the Emirates Air Line, the UK’s first urban cable car. The gondola cabins arc up to the 90-metre midpoint, offering superb views of the Thames Barrier on one side, and the O2 Arena on the other. Familiar landmarks such as the Shard and the office high-rises of Canary Wharf pierce the skyline, while less visible developments, such as the Olympic Park are outlined as the gondola makes its way over the river.

I ride the Emirates Air Line both ways to give equal attention to the vistas. It’s cold outside, but encased in glass, I am protected from the buffeting gusts of wind. Returning to ground level, the crisp breeze numbs my fingers, so I stop at CRAFT London, one of the many trendy eateries that have sprung up around the O2. The deliciously strong latte warms me immediately and I nibble on a moist slice of honey and Earl Grey cake topped with moss-green pistachio frosting before catching the Thames Clipper back to Canary Wharf.

I’m staying at the Four Seasons Canary Wharf, a lovely hotel perched on the water’s edge. The views from the spacious suite are incredible, particularly at night, when lights twinkle along the riverbanks. There’s no need to wander far to find dinner either.

Canary Wharf is packed with options, ranging from quick bites to extended a la carte menus. I remember this area from years ago, when it was a quiet collection of offices. Now it is bustling with activity, the multitude of transportation options ensuring a constant flow of visitors.

My friend Judy finds her way to the Four Seasons Canary Wharf easily when her flight lands and post-dinner we relax in the suite, nibbling on the selection of berries and bite-sized chocolate tidbits that welcomed us. It may be winter outside, but we are comfortably snug.

We’re moments from everything London has to offer, but as a frequent visitor to the city, Judy is keen to explore further afield.

After a delicious breakfast in the hotel’s lobby restaurant, we make our way down the stairs just outside the hotel’s entrance to again board the Thames Clipper, alighting at Greenwich, where the ferry docks right by the impressive Old Royal Naval College. Weekend visitors throng the open courtyard around the Cutty Sark, the clipper’s trio of masts dominating the skyline.

We take a closer look at the beautifully restored piece of maritime history. Cutty Sark visited every major port in the world through the course of her working life, sailing under both the Red Ensign and the Portuguese flag. She arrived at her current resting place in Greenwich in 1954 and was carefully restored back to her tea clipper appearance, before opening to the public. Inside, the ship is packed with interactive exhibits, designed to stimulate the minds of children and adults alike, while underneath the immense keel, a café provides sustenance.

less impressive. The neo-classical masterpiece by James ‘Athenian’ Stuart and William Newton features a Samuel Green organ and an altarpiece painted by Benjamin West.

Meandering to the Royal Observatory, we are sidetracked by Greenwich Market. The historic market is set within a World Heritage site and curiosities, artwork and jewellery abound on every stall. It is with reluctance that we keep our wallets closed, resisting temptation.

We have tickets to the Captured Starlight show at the planetarium, so we don’t have time to linger. We stride through Greenwich Park, following the walkways to London’s only public planetarium, adjacent to the Royal Observatory Greenwich. After a brief introduction to astronomy by one of the Royal Observatory astronomers, we lie back in our seats to admire the stars and admire some of the breathtaking images that made the shortlist for this year’s Insight Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, learning about the objects and phenomena behind the images.

It is somehow ironic that we are running out of time at the place that time begins. We visit the Prime Meridian line, straddling the hemispheres, before entering Flamsteed House, the original Observatory building at Greenwich, designed by Sir Christopher

Outside, a food market has sprung up, offering an impressive variety of innovative street eats, ranging from ramen burgers to rice balls. We snack on a pulled pork wrap as we wander towards the Painted Hall and Chapel at the Old Royal Naval College. The Painted Hall is simply magnificent, recognised as the greatest piece of decorative painting in England. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor, it has been described as ‘the Sistine Chapel of the UK’. The Chapel of St Peter and St Paul is no

Wren in 1675 on the instructions of King Charles II. We walk through the apartments where the Astronomers Royal and their families lived and worked and admire John Harrison’s historical time-keepers, in an exhibition that outlines how the problem of longitude was resolved.

It would be easy to spend more time here, but closing time is announced, so we make our way back down the hill to The Guildford Arms for dinner. This cosy pub with two dining areas – more formal dining upstairs and a lively, relaxed space downstairs – offers an intriguing selection of treats. We agree to share our starters, selecting cod fish fingers, which are deliciously crispy on the outside and come with a creamy tartar sauce and watercress, and the equally tasty roast beetroot, feta, walnut and red chard salad. For mains, we both choose the grilled rib-eye steak, which arrives cooked to perfection, the tender meat resting on fondant potato, with a dollop of carrot and anise puree and a selection of Girolles and button onions drizzled with Rosemary jus. We are pleasantly full, but the dessert menu is irresistible, so we share a generous portion of vanilla cheesecake, a few fresh raspberries and strawberry coulis balancing the sweetness. Sated, we board the Thames Clipper back to the doorstep of the Four Seasons Canary Wharf.

The sky is grey on our final morning and we are reluctant to leave the warm confines of the hotel. We linger over breakfast, selecting delectable items from the a la carte menu, including Westferry Eggs, a local take on Eggs Benedict. When we can delay no longer, we check out, leaving our luggage in storage while we explore the river one last time on a sightseeing cruise with City Cruises.

We chug west around the bends of the River Thames, stopping at Westminster and the London Eye, while enjoying the impromptu commentary by the crew.

There’s so much more to London than the square mile and the shopping enclaves of Oxford Street. The Four Seasons Canary Wharf is the perfect base for exploring the delights of Greenwich and the grand old River Thames. The square mile may have once been the beating heart of the Capital, but the River Thames is the artery that has given the city life. n

SET IN MAGICAL SURROUNDS

The seductiveness of Camps Bay is undeniable.

Located adjacent to Cape Town’s world famous Clifton beaches, less than ten minutes from the bustle of the city centre, this vibrant and popular beach suburb in Cape Town is nestled in an exceptionally beautiful setting against the backdrop of the majestic Twelve Apostles mountain range.

A stroll along the beach promenade immediately shows why Camps Bay fully deserves its much celebrated trendy and cosmopolitan character. Life here is epitomised by the elegant casualness of its locals who are quick to welcome and adopt visitors and holiday guests from far and wide into their community. Lifelong friendships that extend beyond hemispheres and seasons are forged in Camps Bay.

These were just some of the deciding factors that attracted the owners of Casablanca when choosing a dream location to build their dream home. Camps Bay was the only choice.

Casablanca is set on the slopes of the natural amphitheatre shaped by the Twelve Apostles range as it falls away towards the Atlantic Ocean. It is an iconic Camps Bay landmark and it comes as no surprise that Casablanca’s imposing neoclassical façade (highly visible on the mountain) is perfectly complemented by it’s luxurious interior.

Camps Bay Beach, the largest white sand beach in Cape Town, is a Blue Flag status beach and offers a serene respite from the buzz of the adjacent tourist strip.

When entering the residence, it is immediately evident that it was designed for those who enjoy entertaining on a grand scale. The double volume reception rooms can easily accommodate 500 guests, with the dining room capable of hosting a formal dinner for 24 people.

One of the owners recently hosted 500 guests on the roof terrace for his wedding reception, where everyone was wowed by the 360° panoramic views. For more informal gatherings, the veranda and lawn bordering the 25 meter swimming pool with ocean views, and the almost 1,200m2 of balcony terraces surrounding the living areas, offers an

NEOCLASSICAL MASTERPIECE ideal opportunity to treat guests to the magnificent Camps Bay ocean view sunsets.

The 3,100m2 interior space under roof offers eight ocean facing bedrooms and thirteen bathrooms, one formal and several family TV lounges, eight fireplaces, a chef’s kitchen with fully integrated appliances and a twelve seater dining area, a billiard room with full size table, library, wine cellar and a whisky bar. However, it is the central Great Room that steals the show with its 23ft. (7 m) ceiling and surrounding opera balconies on the mezzanine level.

Unique elements that set it apart from other high end properties include a classically designed full size elevator, a dedicated IT server room hosting the mobile app-directed network from which the main operating features of the residence are controlled, an 18-seat movie theatre with a 4.5m ceiling, a full size gymnasium and adjoining squash court, a massage room and sauna with an unsurpassed view of Camps Bay beach and surrounds. The parquet floored and chandeliered parking garage is another arresting feature, offering space for 14 cars and two additional washbays. Its state-of-the-art security system includes biometric access control on all levels, full CCTV coverage, a dedicated fully equipped security control room and direct drive-in access.

The staff quarters consist of four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate kitchen.

PROPERTY IN SOUTH AFRICA EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

No expense was spared by the owners in using only the finest materials and workmanship available, sourced both locally and internationally, in completing their dream home. Elements including solid oak and white Carrara marble flooring throughout, as well as a stunning back lit onyx panel in the whisky bar, exhibit the attention to detail that makes this property truly one-of-a-kind.

Casablanca is comparably priced to similar properties around the globe in high end and sought after locations such as Beverly Hills, the French Riviera and Amalfi Coast. With the current depreciation of the rand against major currencies, it represents an ideal real estate investment for the ultra-high net worth investor, in the most exclusive destination in Africa.

“At the time we were looking for a substantial family home in a location that was peaceful, picturesque and convenient, but despite a lengthy search we were having no luck. It was actually Fine & Country who found this house for us, and the minute we set eyes on it we knew that it was just what we had been looking for. We loved the house and the village location, it is set well back from the road, at the end of a long, sweeping drive; in fact it’s so secluded that not many people know we’re here.” EPC Rating: C

WILLOW GRANGE DENTON, LINCOLNSHIRE Willow Grange is situated on the edge of the Conservation Area in generous secluded grounds and its redevelopment has resulted in a highly individual contemporary family home combining many stylish design features with quality fixtures and fittings.

The architects have worked closely with Grange Developments to produce a radical scheme in which the accommodation is arranged over three floors around a striking central atrium with high levels of light and taking excellent advantage of the superb position.

The superb central hall with a floating staircase off to the first floor leads directly through to a stunning open plan kitchen/family room with two central islands and a comprehensive range of built-in appliances. There is an adjoining utility room and WC.

LARKHILL FARM FORMBY, LIVERPOOL

Completed just three years ago, Larkhill Farm is a magnificent property that occupies a beautiful and enviable position just minutes from the undulating dunes of Formby beach.

PROPERTY IN UNITED KINGDOM EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

The design of both the house and the glorious grounds that envelope it were born out of a synergy between the current owners and leading architectural practice Brock Carmichael. The aim was to maximise the potential of the location and create a spacious and comfortable home in which the current owners’ young family could grow.

The result is a luxurious property that has been built to the highest standards, and one that incorporates a wealth of outstanding features, such as a swimming pool complex, an all-weather tennis court, a cinema and even a lavish children’s playroom. Externally the main house has been designed in the style of a 1930s arts and crafts mansion house, and so fits beautifully with the narrative of its glorious surroundings, however internally the owners were keen to inject a combination of both traditional and contemporary styles. Seasoned oak beams, window frames and flooring as well as natural stone tiling meld beautifully with high-end fixtures and fittings, and with daylight and the magnificent views from the house being a constant feature, a huge amount of glazing has been used throughout.
