Abbey Orchard House, which was designed by an “award-winning” firm, was described as “exquisite and exciting” by Kevin McCloud, host of the long-running British show Grand Designs, according to the listing on Savills.com. .
And the spirit is captivating.
“After passing through the Japanese gate, the entrance opens. The jasmine that stretches over the pergola provides a magical fragrance as one crosses the stone bridge between the flowing water,” the listing describes. “Entrance through massive maple double doors into a 30 meter glazed atrium connecting the two wings of this magnificent home. The feng shui influence plays a role, as does the strong visual connection to the surrounding landscape.”
The five-bedroom, five-bathroom, 5,175-square-foot home on two acres has even been featured on popular real estate social media Zillow Gone WildFacebook page and Twitter account which highlight unique properties for sale.
