The Pines, a reimagined c1913 manor

A landmark reborn, 'The Pines' is a grand Edwardian manor reimagined through a lens of quiet luxury.

A magnificent corbelled-arch hallway sets the tone, leading through beautifully composed living and dining rooms to a dream kitchen with a butler's pantry, all flowing seamlessly to a landscaped north-facing garden.
