A Balanced Exterior with Modern Conveniences
With plenty of driveway space, a double garage with electronic doors, and useful features like an EV charger, outside outlets, and hot and cold faucets, the façade instantly shows practical living. Millie highlights the sense of completeness, describing a house that feels ready for modern life while remaining visually anchored in its landscape.
Inside, the entrance hall sets the ambiance, with oak internal doors and underfloor-heated herringbone flooring adding warmth and substance. “It feels very premium in here,” Millie says, pointing out how the layout immediately offers clarity, with key rooms branching off before drawing visitors naturally toward the open plan of the house.
A Bespoke Kitchen
A handcrafted kitchen sits at the heart of the home, combining farmhouse charm with modern design. “This is actually one of the biggest islands I think we’ve ever seen,” Millie remarks, noting how the design adapts to the rural environment without feeling sentimental. Engraved details, concealed storage, a wine cooler, and layered cabinetry ensure that every component has a feel of refinement and purpose.
The Open Concept
The kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces are all smoothly integrated into the main living area, which unfolds as a series of spacious zones. Millie describes the scale as “absolutely huge,” yet carefully organised, with bespoke joinery and subtle details reinforcing the craftsmanship throughout. The continuity of flooring and the tailored borders around the cabinetry quietly signal the bespoke nature of the space.
The dining area and lounge continue the sense of openness, designed for hosting and everyday comfort in equal measure. Millie invites viewers to imagine gatherings here, adding, “Imagine hosting in this kitchen,” as aluminium bifold doors open the space toward the garden, reinforcing the home’s connection to the outdoors.
A Garden Framed by Views
Outside, landscaped greenery and Italian sandstone terraces create a serene extension of the interior spaces. With countryside views stretching beyond, Millie describes it as “definitely where I’d be coming to have my morning coffee,” a setting equally suited to quiet routines or larger summer gatherings, complete with multiple seating areas and a discreetly positioned hot tub.
Flexible Spaces for Daily Life
The bottom floor arrangement, which includes a home office, guest bathroom, and a cozy room, strikes a balance between open living and more private areas. The lounge, complete with a log burner and built-in storage, is, as Millie puts it, “just ideal” for winter evenings, a place to close the doors, light the fire, and settle into a slower pace.
Glass balustrades and oak banisters upstairs highlight the fusion of modern and rustic design. Millie notes the generosity of the bedrooms, observing that “all of these up here on this floor are literally the exact same,” an approach that avoids hierarchy and supports harmonious family living.
Thoughtful Bathrooms and Guest Comfort
A Jack and Jill ensuite serves two bedrooms, while another double room benefits from its own ensuite with bath, positioned as an ideal guest suite. The finishes remain consistent, with herringbone-patterned flooring and rainfall showers strengthening the design language of the house.
A Loft-Level Principal Suite
The tour culminates in the loft-level principal suite, a space Millie describes as having a “bachelor pad slash luxury hotel feel.” Spanning the full width of the house, it combines integrated storage, timber-clad feature walls, and six skylights that soften a darker palette with abundant natural light.
A Bathroom as a Centrepiece
The principal bathroom blurs the line between bedroom and bathing space, anchored by a sculptural stone bath set directly within the suite. “This room definitely is not short of unique features,” Millie says, highlighting the dual-access layout, twin sinks, and moody finishes that complete the sense of indulgence without excess.
As the tour concludes, Millie reflects on a house that is fully furnished and ready for immediate living, creating a balance between everyday usefulness and architectural detail. The Spinney is a house that is perfect for modern family living. It has room, flexibility, and a strong connection to the countryside, all with an overall feeling of quality.
