Fernleigh Courtyard is inward-looking and private, while large windows and carefully positioned openings bring in changing light and views of the surrounding garden. The result is a calm, restful atmosphere that changes subtly throughout the day.

From the generous solid-oak entrance door, the spaces flow naturally together. Long views lead from the sitting room through the kitchen towards the light-filled wet room, where a skylight brings daylight onto the rain shower; and onwards to the ground floor bedroom.

The spacious sitting room has a huge sofa, leather love seat, cosy wood burner and a large picture window with a sweet-chestnut window seat. A door opens directly onto the courtyard.

The adjoining kitchen-diner features bespoke solid-wood cabinetry crafted from seasoned local sweet chestnut. Patio doors open onto the private courtyard, creating an inviting space for outdoor meals, morning coffee or simply enjoying the peace. Clever design lets the outside in.

Upstairs, a second bedroom sits above the lounge, complete with its own bath and hand basin. Outside, a separate sauna (to be completed in autumn 2026) will provide another opportunity to relax and unwind.
