Two hundred and twelve acres of stunning landscape This area of outstanding natural beauty comprising parkland, paddocks, lakes and ancient woodland which is dominated by majestic oak trees, some over five hundred years old. There are also many other specimen beech, chestnut, ash and alder trees throughout the woodland which in April and May is carpeted in a sea of bluebells and other rare woodland flowers.
The area is criss-crossed by a series of private paths and rides

Robert Adam A visionary architect Internationally renowned Adam Architecture is a world leader in the ‘classic contemporary’ design movement. Working on buildings such as the British School in Rome and the Sackler Library at the Ashmolean Museum, the practice combines tradition with the latest technology. It is the design philosophy that underpins Nutbourne Park today. “Nutbourne Park has a unique setting. I have seen many sites for new and replacement country houses in my time yet I have never seen anything quite like this. It is something about the dramatic use of water combined with unusual privacy, security and ancient woodland that make this project so remarkable.”
15
Robert Adam
The opportunity to create a true English country estate Relatively few large country houses have been built in recent decades and here is a rare occasion to create something literate within the tradition of fine English country estates. Many deliberately unusual houses have been designed in recent times but it is far greater to employ academic accuracy with an understanding of country houses to create something much finer. The interior offers unlimited opportunity because of the dramatic space and the chain of ancillary buildings is in keeping with tradition providing staff and guest accommodation, garaging and stabling. One of the most exciting things about this setting is that there are few restrictions for the landscape immediately around the house and this can be sculpted to suit personal tastes. It will take commitment and inspiration to complete Nutbourne Park, but nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see this project come to fruition.

Pleasing symmetry of a classical design 18
Each of the four elevations of the house is equally impressive which will be appreciated from the formal gardens and numerous vantage points along woodland paths in the landscape. The formal carriageway approach allows glimpses of the large upper lake which appears to be a swathe of river mirroring the sweep of the drive with willow trees spilling into the water. A tantalising glimpse of rooftops teases the visitor onwards around the bend in the hill when the full glory of the house will be revealed. The carriageway arrives at the western elevation which makes a grand statement with its splendid pillared entrance.
19
“Relatively few grand country houses have been created within the last several decades and this is a unique site� Robert Adam
Close to the house the formal gardens will be laid out to provide an openness giving way to a sequence of lakes and the gentle rise of the wooded hills climbing away into the distance. Tennis courts and other leisure facilities incorporated into the landscape design may be tucked discreetly away or given prominence and there is also potential for a home farm.
20

Leisure facilities, staff accommodation, garaging and stabling are all placed discreetly but conveniently close to the main house providing a self-contained estate.

Interiors that exude style and grandeur Nutbourne Park will provide the perfect environment for the ultimate in gracious living. The palatial scale of the house provides for a bespoke layout and highly personalised leisure facilities.

35
Creating a legacy Working together with designers and specialist craftsmen to create a unique interior is one of the most exciting, life-defining moments. The classical proportions of the formal rooms and circulation space allow for large scale features such as stone pillars and fabulous galleried staircases. This is an outstanding backdrop for existing collections of art and furniture or the consummate excuse to launch into new ones. The benefits of dealing with a virgin building, constructed to the very latest specifications are incalculable. Levels of insulation, concealed electronics and state of the art technology enable not only an elegant and imposing house to be created but also a home which has the highest degree of comfort and convenience.

Hambledon an idyllic Surrey village steeped in history This ancient village was established more than a thousand years ago and a strong sense of community has developed. Village life centres around the church, village hall, the village shop and the cricket club with active committees and fund raising for local community projects. St Peter’s Church was rebuilt in the mid-19th century and replaced an early medieval church on the site. However two ancient yews in the churchyard indicate an even earlier settlement with the larger claiming the title of the oldest tree so far recorded in Surrey and dates back to AD800.
40
41
42
A slower pace of life Many of the local villages have grown from clusters of farm holdings with the larger centres of Guildford, Haslemere and Godalming gaining strength from their proximity to London with fast rail and road links to the capital. However, a slower pace of life can be enjoyed in this rural setting more in tune with the seasons and traditional country pursuits. The widespread gentrification of Surrey villages has seen an appreciation of period homes and a desire to retain and improve cottages and larger homes in these rural areas. However, even with many people commuting to larger conurbations on a daily basis, many local incomes are still reliant on rural lifestyles and this lends the area a background rooted in tradition.
43
An enviable lifestyle The space within Nutbourne Park itself offers fabulous opportunities for country pursuits with woodland paths for walking, fishing on the lakes, paddocks for horses with a network of bridleways on the doorstep and superb undergrowth for raising of young fowl for the shooting season.
44
Within the Surrey Hills’ Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty there is a diverse and rich landscape waiting to be discovered, accessed by an extensive footpath and road network surrounded by beautiful countryside, wooded hills, heathland and valleys. Within the local area there is unlimited access to leisure pursuits including golf, rugby, cricket, tennis and sailing on lakes and the south coast with additional spectator sports such as polo at Cowdray Park, horse racing at Ascot to the North and all manner of attractions at Goodwood in the South.
45
Just a short distance from one of the world’s greatest cities From this quiet and private setting in the heart of the English countryside the connections are, however, exceptional with most of London’s best-known landmarks just a short distance away. Commuting to the West End and the City is easy and convenient. For those at the heart of domestic and international business, this is a fantastic base within easy reach of commuter routes and both major and private airports.
