Spread across 20 acres of private land, 10-bedroom Stow Farm strikes a balance between the expansive and the intimate.

Each of the four distinctive living quarters at Stow Farm has its own separate kitchen and dining facilities. Characterful and considered, the Farmhouse Kitchen is an uplifting culinary setting, complete with sky-blue cabinetry, a double butler sink and electric Aga oven.

For entertaining a crowd, the Dutch Barn obliges. Once used for storing hay, it’s now the natural central gathering place of Stow Farm. The original steel frame and corrugated cladding echo its working past, now offset by expanses of Crittall glazing that draw in natural light and gaze across the orchard and fields. An open-plan layout is imagined for entertaining, with a fully-equipped kitchen, large dining table and ample seating gathered by a fireplace. From here, full-height doors lead onto a large terrace – with a barbecue and outdoor dining table.

The Farmhouse contains four bedroom suites, each following a formula of calming tones, patterned upholstery, exposed wooden beams and serene views stretching across the countryside.

Two further bedroom suites are found in the Stone Barn. One is positioned on a mezzanine level, which looks down over the open-plan living area below. Towering Crittall windows extend toward the vaulted ceiling, drawing daylight deep inside and animating textural stones and timbers used throughout. The other enjoys an in-room freestanding tub, with exposed wood and brick walls bringing tactility to the setting.

Encircling the buildings, gently undulating lawns are dotted with trees and fruit orchards. At the farm’s core, a 16-metre heated swimming pool beckons, surrounded by lush grasses and a stone patio furnished with lounge chairs. Nearby, a wood-clad sauna and cold plunge pool are tailor-made for wellness enthusiasts. An astroturf tennis court sits poised for a match, its expanse opening onto uninterrupted views of the rolling countryside. There are integrated football posts, if you prefer a kick-about.

Al fresco dining is thoughtfully woven throughout the grounds. A walled rose garden, framed by manicured topiary, offers a quiet setting in which to linger over a meal. Next to the Dutch Barn, a terrace with an outdoor kitchen and barbecue invites convivial gatherings, with a wooden veranda that offers sun-dappled lunches.

The Dutch Barn’s ground floor is designed for rejuvenation and relaxation. A fully equipped gym provides space for morning workouts and afternoon yoga sessions, while the steam room and spa offer a calm counterpoint for recovery. As the day draws to a close, the cinema room – fitted with Dolby Atmos sound and plush seating – invites guests to unwind with a classic or the latest blockbuster.
