Turn into the drive at Rochfords and the first glimpse of the house takes your breath away. Set back within its partly moated grounds, it feels in a little world of its own. There are centuries of history here. Its name comes from Roger de Rocheford, who lived on the site in the 13th century, while later owners include the textile-making Everard family and Modernist architect H. T. Cadbury-Brown. Behind the Georgian façade, exposed timbers, old oak floorboards and deep fireplaces reveal its earlier origins. The house has all the quirks and charm that come with its age, and a warmth that you feel as soon as you step inside. Light floods through the house throughout the day. The newer addition opens towards the orchard, with a bright kitchen and living space looking out over the garden. Rochfords offers an unusual degree of flexibility in its layout, with the potential for multi-generational living. There is plenty of space to host gatherings for friends and extended family. Outside, the natural swimming pond, orchard and gardens make this somewhere you can imagine spending whole summers, with little reason to leave.
