As a working farm, the Home Farm Estate was acquired by the current owners in 1994 and has since been significantly developed. Enjoying a private position, at the end of a long drive and surrounded by vineyards, the property offers the ideal balance between city and country life, being conveniently situated within 10 miles of Canary Wharf.

Classically inspired and elegantly proportioned, with an impressive approach via a sweeping drive through the landscaped grounds, Green Acres is the centrepiece of the Home Farm Estate. The property was built in 1995 to an exceptional standard, and has since been further extended and improved.

Every room has been carefully considered and planned to create a beautiful home which provides a superb setting for entertaining on a grand scale, yet is also ideally suited to family life.

Features of note include beautiful tiled flooring to the reception hall and dining room, elaborately carved coving and architraves, and marble bathrooms. Large windows, double height ceilings and roof lights to the reception hall all combine to ensure that natural light spills throughout the house, creating a spacious feel.

Ground Floor: A large pair of solid wood front doors open to the grand reception hall, which is double height with two sweeping staircases leading up to the first floor galleried landing, and has a bar situated at one end, with three sets of double doors opening to the drawing room, creating an excellent space for entertaining. The open plan kitchen/breakfast room is a wonderful space suited for more informal family life; the kitchen is extremely well-equipped and open to the vaulted family area and to the orangery, which has bi-fold doors to the terrace.

The dining room and its adjoining music room provide a sophisticated setting for formal events, served by a cleverly positioned butler’s kitchen; there is a comfortable sitting room, and stairs leading down to the gym.

First Floor: From the galleried landing, curved double doors open to the principal bedroom suite with large dressing area, two walk in wardrobes and a spacious en suite bathroom fitted with book matched marble tiles throughout. There are five further en suite bedrooms, a mezzanine study, a utility room and a cloakroom also situated on the first floor.

Gardens & Grounds
The private gardens are a particular feature of Green Acres, being created from the original late Victorian walled kitchen garden of the Foxbury Manor Estate. The front lawn is set with a graceful stone pavilion, past which the driveway leads to a block paving parking area ahead of the house and the triple bay garage bloc. Secure double gates lead to a side courtyard garden and an arch leads through to the Bothy Cottage and on to Polo Mews.

The landscaped rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with beds planted with exotic shrubs, and a breeze house. Close to the house is a spacious south facing terrace which spans the rear elevation, perfect for entertaining al fresco with ample space for tables and chairs and easy access from most principle
reception rooms. The pool house and office are situated next to the swimming pool, which is enclosed by wrought iron fencing. A path leads around the side of the garden, to the steps up to the tennis pavilion and the all weather tennis court.
