Description

Rignalls is a beautiful Grade II Listed property, constructed of brick, part clay tile hung and rendered under a clay tile roof. The property has been refurbished to a high standard and restored to its original state by architect K Lankarani, specialist in bespoke conservation works and Patrick Baty, a specialist in historical decorating. The house is typical of the Arts and Crafts movement with steep pitched roofs and striking chimneys. Internally the house combines light and spacious reception rooms on the ground floor, with comfortable bedroom accommodation over the first and second floors. Of particular note is the double height reception hall with double doors opening onto the beautifully proportioned drawing room. The principal reception rooms all face south, overlooking the terraced gardens. On the first floor is a magnificent master bedroom suite with outstanding views over the valley together with three further principal bedrooms. The second floor offers great flexibility and is has further bedrooms or could be used as a self-contained flat. In recent years, the house has been fully restored to a high standard, Rignalls is now a wonderful comfortable family home with excellent modern infrastructure. The formal gardens were designed by the renowned landscape gardener, Gertrude Jekyll, the original garden designs for which are archived at UC Berkeley in California. Unfortunately most of Gertrude Jekyll's gardens haven't been maintained over the years however a small number have been restored, including her own garden at Munstead Wood. The gardens at Rignalls have since been restored with garden architect and historian Todd Longstaff- Gowan. The gardens and grounds lying predominantly to the south of the house. A York stone terrace flanks the south elevation with brick steps leading down to the terraced lawn and steps to the side lead down to a further lawned area below, both terraces are surrounded by well stocked shrubberies and laurel hedges. To the north is a wide belt of mature woodland and a lawned area with a carpet of daffodils in the spring months and blue bells. The productive orchard and Victorian greenhouse adjoins the well- fenced paddock. There is a separate timber garage building which has recently been built
