The Place

The Birnleigh Estate is a prominent country estate situated on 100 acres just minutes north of London.

The Details

Thoughtfully developed over the past 45 years, the Birnleigh Estate is an architecturally designed Georgian home inspired by the historic estates of Williamsburg, Virginia. Sitting atop a ridge and set well back from the road with sweeping vistas of the surrounding countryside, the estate includes a private equestrian facility, 40 acres of workable farmland, 10 acres of forest and 40 acres of pastured land and paddocks. With the Medway Creek meandering through the property and numerous trails for riding, walking and cross-country skiing, the estate is a nature lovers’ paradise. The house features over 5,500 square feet of above-ground space with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and four wood-burning fireplaces. Interior finishing developed by a European craftsman includes walnut and pine woodwork, cabinetry, panelling, doors and floors.
