The Accommodation

Manor Wood is a private gated development of just four exceptional residences, each individually designed and finished to an uncompromising standard. Maple House is perhaps the most striking of all – a substantial family home extending to over 4,000 sq ft, distinguished by its soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, bespoke joinery and a level of finish more often associated with the pages of a design magazine than a new-build home.

From the first impression in the grand reception hall, with its feature fireplace, exposed brickwork and sweeping staircase, there is a sense of presence and quality that runs throughout. The interiors are bright, spacious and thoughtfully planned, with a flowing layout that balances generous open-plan living with more intimate spaces.

At its heart lies the kitchen, dining and family room – a spectacular space where a bespoke kitchen with central island and quartz worktops opens onto both formal and informal dining areas. Full-height sliding doors connect the room with the garden, creating a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. Complementing this space are a formal sitting room with stone fireplace, a versatile study, and the practical luxury of a large utility and a secret walk-in pantry.

Upstairs, the house continues to impress. The principal suite is a true sanctuary, complete with Juliet balcony, his and hers dressing rooms and a dramatic en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding tub, walk-in rainfall shower and vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Further bedrooms combine scale with character, two enjoying their own en suites, while the top floor provides a wonderfully versatile suite – ideal for guests, teenagers or a private studio.

The bathrooms are finished to a rare standard, with large-format marble-effect tiling, bespoke cabinetry and fittings that bring a spa-like atmosphere into the home. Throughout, the attention to detail is exacting – from the bespoke iron balustrades on the staircase to the carefully curated lighting and flooring.

Outside

The gardens are a natural extension of the home. A broad terrace offers the perfect stage for al fresco dining, while sweeping lawns roll out towards open countryside, reinforcing the sense of peace and privacy. The oak-framed garden pavilion provides a focal point for summer evenings, whether as a bar, an entertaining space, or simply a quiet place to sit and watch the sun set.

The property is approached through secure electric gates, with a generous driveway leading to the integral double garage. The development itself enjoys a rare sense of exclusivity, with each house individually styled yet united by the same high standard of architecture and craftsmanship.
