Property description

The love of Georgian style, proportion and balance led to the commissioning of this superb five bedroom detached family residence overlooking the conservation area of the historic town of Barrow-upon-Humber.

Winterbourne House is a rare example of a combination of traditional elegance and modern efficiency, designed to create a solid, insulated family home of intimate elegance that will itself stand the test of time. 

The balanced façade with its imposing entrance door is well able to allow access for a grand piano and is testament to its historic roots with the grand reception hall and wide balustraded staircase being a welcoming re-affirmation of the attention to detail. The understated grandeur is typified by the high ceilings throughout and by the dual aspect principal lounge with doors to the superb garden room which in turn surveys the southern and western facing gardens. The forward facing formal dining room is again balanced by the book lined library on the other side of the entrance hall, and a stylish breakfast kitchen with island unit allows access to the large utility room which superbly caters for the practicalities of modern life.

Upstairs, the design principles are once more reinforced by the stunning 24’3” galleried landing which both mirrors the reception hall beneath and allows access to the generous bedrooms, all of which have separate TV and telephone points. The bedrooms include an outstanding master suite with double bedroom and en-suite with both bath and separate shower. There is an individual character to each of the bedrooms: the guest suite features a Juliet balcony and en-suite facilities, a further double bedroom shares access to the family bathroom and features another Juliet balcony, while the remaining two double bedrooms overlook the broad front driveway. 

The acquisition of additional land before building commenced in 2000 ensured that the lawned gardens were easily able to accommodate a marquee for the owners’ daughter’s wedding and the kitchen garden is a gardener’s delight. 

Winterbourne House is quintessentially English: gracefully marrying modernity and Georgian style it is quite simply elegantly timeless.
