A Fusion of Heritage and Modern Elegance

















A Fusion of Heritage and Modern Elegance
This modern country house takes its cues from the spatial organisation of grand traditional estates, reimagined through a contemporary lens. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to strike a delicate balance between modernity and timeless elegance. The architectural layout draws from classical proportions and symmetry, creating a sense of grandeur while accommodating the practical needs of modern family life.
Externally, the home showcases a refined palette of materials — grey Wienerberger brick, natural stone, and sleek Renson cladding. These elements were selected not only for their aesthetic and tactile qualities but also for their ability to integrate effortlessly into the surrounding woodland setting. The earthy tones of the brick and stone echo the natural landscape, while the contemporary cladding introduces a modern edge, reflecting a dialogue between tradition and innovation.
Generous glazing frames serene woodland views, while elegant colonnades create a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor living. This thoughtful interplay between architecture and environment enhances the sense of openness and connection to nature. Landscape design by Park Hood complements the architectural vision, with layered plantings and meandering paths that soften the built form and invite exploration.
At the lower edge of the garden, a luxurious outdoor swimming pool and accompanying pool house offer a private sanctuary for relaxation and entertaining. The pool area integrates seamlessly with the landscaped grounds, continuing the theme of understated elegance.
With photography by Donal McCann and construction by Roskyle Construction, the home exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship and quality — a modern country retreat where contemporary design and classical inspiration coexist in harmony.
