Summary:
Used 1964
Location:
Ayot St. Peter, Herts
Description:
Winding through a forest track just outside Welwyn, this unexpected 1960s four-bedroom house creeps into view through the dappled light of the trees. Expansive panes of glazing on the first floor and a front balcony announce the inverted configuration of this cleverly conceived design that utilises all the virtues of its woodland plot. Bright living spaces, their volume enhanced by pitched roofs and clerestory windows, stretch across the first floor. The garden wraps entirely around the house with a grand circular trellis suspended from the house, covered in vines at its centre. Welwyn is a five-minute drive, and the nearby station runs services into London in half an hour. The Tour The house is approached along Hangmans Lane, a secluded road weaving through the edges of Mardley Woods. This wonderfully secluded location hides the house until the final approach, when its sweeping panes of glazing stretching the width of the oversailing first floor come into view. A mono-pitched roof slopes from the centre of the house towards the front elevation, hinting at the volumes inside. An overhang is created to shade the balcony to the front. Designed in 1964 for the architect's own use, this sleek, unadorned façade is reminiscent of the clean lines and curtain glazing that characterise California’s Case Study Houses. The wide entrance on the ground floor opens to a generous lobby with plenty of storage. Herringbone parquet stretches from here to the top floor, where the main living spaces are perched amongst the treetops. These three distinct rooms are illuminated by full-width glazing at the front and clerestory windows at the rear; the light amplifies the sense of volume established by the sweeping pitch of the roof. The dining room sits at the centre of the plan, connecting the kitchen on the left and the living room on the right, establishing a wonderful sense of flow. The oak windows and doorframes contrast warmly against the evergreen leaves. Still available at ListedBuy!
