Shillingford, A Private Estate Of Symmetry And Space
resting within its own private vale, ′shillingford′ is a southern highlands estate shaped by symmetry, scale and a quiet sense of calm. established hedging, mature trees and sweeping lawns, designed by landscaper charlotte webb, frame the residence which unfolds across 8.05 hectares in a secluded exeter setting.
a tree-lined drive leads to a circular gravel forecourt and porte-cochere entry, where the georgian-inspired facade sets the tone. across two levels, the home balances formal and informal living, each area enjoying a strong connection to the landscape and tranquil views over rolling countryside to the lake below.
on the ground floor, elegant lounge and dining rooms sit alongside a more relaxed open plan domain, where a gourmet kitchen, meals area and media space extend to a series of alfresco terraces.
upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide accommodation for family and guests. the main suite is complete with a walk-in robe and dual-vanity ensuite, while a secondary bedroom also features its own ensuite, well suited to guest use.
beyond the residence, the grounds take on a resort-like quality. a two-storey pool house mirrors the scale and presence of the main home, incorporating a living area, kitchen, bathroom and upper-level accommodation. adjacent, a heated infinity pool and north-east facing terrace create a setting for long days outdoors. a tennis court, open grounds and scope for equestrian use complete an estate designed for both retreat and recreation.
