Contemporary New Build in Leafy Surrey
Set within an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds in the heart of the Surrey countryside, this exceptional 5,500 ft² new-build home in Farnham combines contemporary architecture with timeless detailing, sophisticated interiors and state-of-the-art technology. Designed specifically for modern family life and entertaining, the property replaces a tired and cramped existing dwelling with a spacious, light-filled home that makes the most of its tranquil rural setting.

The imposing main house, together with a substantial garage and ancillary accommodation, sits naturally within its leafy surroundings. The design carefully balances a contemporary aesthetic with traditional materials and period-inspired detailing, allowing the property to feel established within its setting rather than competing with it. Rendered elevations, sash-style windows and carefully considered architectural details complement the surrounding landscape, while expansive glazing and skylights introduce an abundance of natural light throughout the interiors.

At the rear, the house has been opened up to maximise the spectacular countryside views and create a seamless relationship between the interior and exterior spaces. Floor-to-ceiling frameless doors connect the principal living areas with a generous terrace, landscaped gardens and dedicated entertaining and BBQ areas, creating an ideal environment for both relaxed family life and larger gatherings.

Internally, the house has been designed around generous, flexible spaces. The substantial open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home, complemented by a double reception room, cinema/media room, games room and dedicated office. A bespoke kitchen provides both practicality and a refined architectural centrepiece, while bespoke joinery, fitted wardrobes and carefully selected wall and floor finishes create a cohesive sense of luxury throughout.

The accommodation includes five principal bedrooms and six bathrooms, with luxurious bathrooms featuring Italian fixtures and fittings, bespoke cabinetry and specialist finishes including Tadelakt. Additional facilities include a fully equipped gym, sauna and steam room, wine room, utility/laundry facilities and a dedicated orangery. A bespoke staircase forms a striking focal point within the entrance and circulation spaces, while bespoke fireplaces add warmth and character to the contemporary interiors.

Comfort and convenience are central to the specification. Underfloor heating and air conditioning provide year-round climate control, while a comprehensive home-automation system allows the owners to manage lighting, heating and cooling, audiovisual systems, security and door entry through discreet in-wall controls or mobile and tablet devices.

Sustainability was also a key consideration in the design and construction. Solar panels, rainwater harvesting and a range of other environmental measures help reduce the home's impact on its surroundings while supporting efficient day-to-day living.

The result is a highly considered contemporary home that successfully combines robust, family-friendly materials with sophisticated design. Every element, from the bespoke joinery and fireplaces to the specialist finishes and landscaped gardens, has been selected to provide both longevity and visual impact.

Ultimately, this Farnham new build demonstrates how a contemporary family home can sit comfortably within a beautiful and tranquil rural landscape while providing the technology, flexibility, comfort and entertaining spaces required by a modern lifestyle.
