A new house located on the site of a destroyed, seventeenth century house in the village of Upper Chute, near Andover. The loss of the original manor had left a void within the core of the village, and the remaining farmland landscape lacked a central focus. The reinstated house is a traditional square plan arranged around a central top-lit hall. Stylistically, it relates to the original two storey, five bay property, with a double-height, stone door surround at its centre. The selected materials are also sympathetic to the original manor. Stone is used for all porches, door and window surrounds, and a feature cornice is constructed traditionally in timber. Surrounding the design are formal landscaped grounds with extensive views to the farmland beyond.
