WalkerleyWALKERLEY HOUSE“When my partner and I decided to embark upon this project we wanted to build our dream home,” says Mike, “but when you build a house of this quality the location is of the upmost importance, it needs to be exceptional, and in my mind Barnoldby Le Beck is just that.”

overviewSituated in one of the most prestigious and sought after residential villages in North East Lincolnshire and stunningly arranged over three floors, this five bedroom architecturally designed home successfully juxtaposes opposites to create a harmonious whole defined by light, in which the open plan ground floor is extended by the considered use of deep glass panels and reflected water features to combine house and garden into a striking union.

The dramatic play on the vertical and the horizontal, rendered surfaces and timber panels are softened by the undulating grounds and sweeping lawns to form a unique home of evident quality.

The outstanding kitchen will undoubtedly become the social heart of the home, with its extensive range of Leicht units, Gaggenau appliances and Flame granite work surfaces. The incorporation of limestone floors creates a unity throughout the ground floor and the lounge with its rotating wood burning fire and full depth glass panels to two aspects, is lent an almost liquid light by the play of reflections from the adjacent pools.

The lower ground floor is an ideal recreation area with its potential cinema, gymnasium with sauna and hydro pool together with a private courtyard garden.

The principal of simple, clearly defined spaces enhanced by discreet quality is continued to the first floor, where there barrel vaulted ceiling of the master bedroom is mirrored in the curving curtain wall of the stylish en suite.

The Ian Stubbs designed grounds maintain the interplay of the natural and the geometric, with a Japanese influenced series of pools and terraces contrasting with the striking summerhouse fronted by a protruding floating deck.

This is a home which recreates itself as the light changes: a home which reinvents what a home should be.

“The house was built just under 10 years ago, but its contemporary style, open-plan

layout and superior quality fixtures and fittings

give it an utterly timeless look and feel throughout.

The house was designed by a respected architect

friend of mine,” continues Mike. “We sat down

together and went though everything that my

partner and I wanted from the property. He asked

us things such as how we wanted to live and what

we enjoyed doing, so for instance I love to cook

and therefore the design and quality of the kitchen

was very important. We also love open-plan living

so the whole house has a really great flow, great

lighting and a spacious feel.”

“Another material that has been used to wonderful effect throughout the property is glass. In the extremely

spacious living room, for example, floor to ceiling windows span

two entire walls providing panoramic views of the beautifully

landscaped garden beyond, and sliding panels on both walls can

be pushed back during the warmer months to provide a seamless

connection with the stunning outdoors.”

“We have lots of very large windows throughout the property,” says Mike, “which serve to flood the house with natural light and really open up each

space, but our setting is extremely private and so we never feel in the slightest bit

overlooked.”

“I love natural materials, particularly natural stone,” says Mike, “so there is a lot of marble and slate used throughout the house and

the wood floors are solid, not engineered; we’ve used the very best of everything.”

“It’s a beautiful place to just sit out and relax. One of the neighbouring properties is a

manor house and their peacocks often turn up in the garden, which is a wonderful sight; it really is

an outstanding setting.”
