Torn from the pages of Country Life, this architecturally divisive “country house” defies all the traditional rules with its indoor riding centre, stables, home cinema, helipad, and leisure wing, including a gym, spa and indoor pool. After a morning’s tennis match on the grass court, cool off in the outdoor natural pong or rejuvenate in the hot tub. Then, spend the afternoon exploring the beautiful village of Windsor, a short drive away.
