the views across the Solent,
as well as of the property’s
own private beach. Set
over three storeys, the
house spans 7,200 square
feet and was completed in- It has been fitted out
to the latest standards, with
triple-glazed windows and
ground-source heat pumps,
and its painstaking construc-
tion was chronicled on the
television programme Grand Designs.
There are plenty of older properties
that still reflect the original intentions of
their architect, such as the Grade II-listed
Bourton Manor in Shropshire, located three
miles from the charming medieval village of
Much Wenlock. It was designed in 1874 by
Norman Shaw, whose extensive catalogue
of works includes the headquarters of the
Royal Geographical Society in London,
Bryanston School in Dorset, and the
original home of New Scotland Yard.
Shaw’s drawings for Bourton Manor can be
seen in the archives of the Royal Academy,
but whoever buys this glorious property will
be able experience the reality for themselves.
Surrounded by an arboretum and beautiful
gardens, it’s solid proof of how an architect’s
dream can create a legacy that will endure
for generations.
