Set within a peaceful hillside landscape, the Wallpaper House offers a rare opportunity to experience understated luxury in its most natural form. Surrounded by open countryside and untouched views, the property is designed for those seeking privacy, tranquillity, and a deeper connection to the environment, without compromising on thoughtful design.

Originally built on the land in 2003 and conceived as a compact architectural statement by Swedish designer Thomas Sandell in collaboration with Wallpaper* Magazine, the house remains a distinctive example of contemporary living. Its “inside-outside” concept is centred around a sheltered courtyard, creating a seamless dialogue between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape. Light, space, and proportion are carefully considered throughout, resulting in a calm and balanced living environment.

The journey to the house gently sets the tone for the stay. From the parking area, a short walk along a quiet country path leads across a small bridge and past a stream, before arriving at the property. This subtle transition from arrival to retreat enhances the sense of seclusion and escape.

Inside, the accommodation is arranged in a minimalist, open-plan style, allowing the architecture and setting to take centre stage. There are two double bedrooms, one fully private with its own door, and a second enclosed, intimate space with expansive views across the hillside. A further two single beds are integrated into the corridor in a cabin-style layout, thoughtfully designed to maximise space while maintaining comfort. The private double features sliding glass doors opening onto the courtyard and dark-stained wood finishes, while the second double is softly enclosed, with a large window framing the landscape and subtle woodland-inspired details overhead. All beds are dressed in high-quality linens, with towels provided to ensure a comfortable stay.

The bathroom includes a gas-powered hot shower, complemented by an outdoor shower that offers a more open-air experience in keeping with the setting. The kitchen is intentionally simple yet fully functional, equipped with a gas fridge/freezer, a three-hob gas cooker, and all essential utensils and crockery. A large gas BBQ is also available and often becomes the focal point for relaxed dining.

Meals can be enjoyed at the indoor dining table or outside on the decking, where carefully placed seating, sun loungers, and shaded areas create a variety of spaces to unwind, dine, and take in the surroundings. Whether shared with others or enjoyed in quiet solitude, each area has been considered to support a slower, more intentional way of living.
