Orchard Chase, Hurst | An Executive Masterpiece
We are delighted to introduce this executive, detached residence that offers the pinnacle of sophisticated country living, nestled within an exclusive, tree-lined enclave in the quintessential village of Hurst. Completely reimagined and extended in 2022, this home presents a striking architectural façade where designer wood features meet classic elegance, all situated behind a private hedge for ultimate discretion. The property perfectly balances rural tranquillity with a high-end lifestyle, being just moments away from the village’s historic churches, renowned gastropubs, and the natural beauty of Dinton Pastures. Designed for those who appreciate the finer things, the interior is finished to an exceptional standard with a refined Farrow & Ball palette, underfloor heating, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The exterior is equally impressive, boasting a triple garage with an EV charging point, a private gym, and a versatile annexe, making it a rare opportunity to occupy a meticulously modernised estate that blends modern luxury with an authentic, exclusive country feel.
The Grand Entrance
Upon entering the reception hall, the sense of space and quality is immediate, with the sophisticated tones of Farrow & Ball’s "Elephant’s Breath" creating a warm, neutral backdrop that beautifully complements the sleek tiled flooring and premium plush carpeting. Designed to maintain an effortless executive lifestyle, the hallway includes substantial integrated storage to ensure a curated, clutter-free environment. This commitment to designer flair continues into the guest cloakroom, a beautifully appointed space featuring a bold contrast of dramatic "Stiffkey Blue" walls against a contemporary white designer suite, offering a refined and stylish aesthetic for guests.
The Heart of the Home: Bespoke Kitchen, Dining & Family Room
The rear of the property unveils a spectacular, light-filled open-plan living space that serves as the ultimate social hub, fully tiled to provide a seamless canvas for the kitchen, dining, and family areas. Designed for year-round comfort, this impressive space benefits from both underfloor heating and integrated air conditioning.
At its heart lies a chef’s kitchen of true designer pedigree, featuring bespoke cabinetry in a sophisticated "French Grey" and "Hicks Blue" palette by The Little Greene Paint Company, all crowned with elegant Silestone Quartz worktops. This culinary masterpiece is centred around a focal island with a Bora induction hob and integrated extraction, supported by a suite of premium appliances including Siemens steam-function double ovens, a Bosch dishwasher, and full-height Neff refrigeration.
Every detail has been considered, from the Quooker instant boiling water tap, water softener and built-in wine fridge to ingenious storage solutions like the dedicated butler’s larder and bespoke "fold-back" glassware cabinet. The space flows naturally into a dining area—complete with a custom table—and a comfortable family sitting area, both of which open through expansive doors onto the landscaped grounds, creating an unrivalled indoor-outdoor environment for high-end entertaining and relaxed daytime living.
The Playroom & Snug: Versatile Living
Flowing effortlessly from the kitchen, this room represents the epitome of "broken-plan" living, utilising clever glass doors to maintain a visual connection to the main hub while offering a quiet, connected retreat. Incredibly versatile in its design, the space functions perfectly as a vibrant playroom, a sophisticated teenage snug, or a serene reading area, all while being flooded with natural light and providing direct garden access through its own set of doors.
This commitment to functional luxury extends into the meticulous "back kitchen" utility room, a masterpiece of organisation featuring bespoke light grey cabinetry, premium Quartz worktops, and industry-leading Miele laundry appliances. Designed as the ultimate "muddy boots" entry point, this space features a dedicated side entrance with integrated storage for coats and shoes, a classic double Belfast sink, and a large skylight that bathes the room in natural light, ensuring the home remains as practical as it is pristine.
The Executive Home Offices
For the modern professional, the residence offers an unparalleled working environment with two distinct, dedicated workspaces, with broadband included within the rental, both featuring exquisite wood herringbone flooring for a touch of timeless warmth. The "Executive Retreat" serves as a sophisticated sanctuary, finished in calming deep green tones and fully equipped with high-end built-in cabinetry and expansive wall units, perfect for focused, high-level productivity. In contrast, the "Garden Office" provides an inspiring, airy atmosphere with patio doors that open directly onto the landscaped grounds; this creative space comes ready for immediate use with furniture available, ensuring that working from home is both a seamless and stylish experience.
The Formal Living Room
Designed for both sophisticated entertaining and cozy family evenings, the formal living room is a masterclass in modern interior design, anchored by an elegant gas fire situated beneath a sleek media area. The space is defined by its rich palette and texture, with walls finished in the deep, soulful "De Nimes" by Farrow & Ball, providing a striking backdrop to the exquisite wood herringbone flooring. This room seamlessly balances grandeur with minimalist organisation, featuring a wall of bespoke entertainment shelving and integrated low-level cabinetry to ensure a clutter-free environment. Offering tranquil views to the front of the property and ample space for plush seating, it serves as a fabulous setting for greeting guests or retreating for a quiet evening by the fire, effortlessly managing to feel both impressively grand and intimately comfortable.
The Ascent: Stairs & Landing
The journey to the first floor is a definitive design statement in itself, where the ascent is marked by a beautiful designer hanging light that serves as a sculptural centrepiece, casting a soft, warm glow across the landing. This bright and airy space acts as a grand transition into the extensive luxury sleeping accommodation, effortlessly maintaining the home’s signature sense of scale and quiet sophistication while leading the way to the private quarters.
The Principal Suite: A Lap of Luxury
The principal bedroom is a sprawling, multi-room sanctuary that embodies the height of elegance, featuring a dramatic vaulted ceiling, air conditioning, and a skylight that bathes the entire retreat in natural light. This private haven includes sleeping quarters of grand proportions, offering ample space for a super king-size bed, while double doors open onto a Juliette balcony to provide elevated views of the landscaped grounds.
The experience continues into a fashion enthusiast’s dream dressing room, complete with a stunning chandelier, plush cream carpeting, and extensive bespoke wardrobes featuring dedicated shoe racks and a central island with integrated drawers.
The suite is completed by a designer en-suite — a true wellness masterpiece — finished with exquisite Minoli tiling and a secondary chandelier. It features a contemporary oval bathtub set against marble-effect flooring, a large walk-in shower, and a designer vanity, all complemented by a heated towel rail for the ultimate in executive comfort.
The Guest & Family Accommodation
The first floor continues to impress with four further bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with a unique character and premium finishes that maintain the home's signature elegance. The guest suite serves as a serene sanctuary centred around a beautiful bay window, offering ample space for a super king bed, and an exquisite en-suite appointed with a contemporary round basin and a designer walk-in shower adorned with subtle blush pink tiling.
Additional rooms include a picture-perfect bedroom finished in Farrow & Ball’s "Cinder Rose" with a charming scalloped design and bespoke wardrobes, a dream-like nursery adorned with delicate swan-motif wallpaper, and a versatile fifth bedroom offering elevated garden views.
This level is anchored by a family bathroom that serves as a masterclass in texture and luxury; featuring high-end Minoli tiling, an oval freestanding bathtub with designer wall-mounted taps, and a large walk-in shower, the space is punctuated by bold black accents and marble-effect surfaces to provide a sophisticated, five-star wellness experience for the entire household.
The Annexe: Private Studio Apartment
Situated above the triple garage, the self-contained annexe offers a high-specification "home away from home," providing an ideal retreat for visiting family, an au pair, or long-term guests. This bright and airy studio apartment has been meticulously designed with a clever layout that maximizes space, featuring a versatile area for a fold-away bed and a fully functional, sleek kitchenette equipped with an oven, a two-ring induction hob, and a breakfast bar for effortless dining. Ensuring total independence from the main residence, the annexe includes its own private, well-appointed en-suite bathroom complete with a bathtub and shower over, offering a sophisticated and autonomous living space that perfectly complements the exclusivity of the estate.
The Gardens & Outdoor Entertaining
The exterior of Orchard Chase is as meticulously maintained as the interior, offering a private oasis designed for both sophisticated relaxation and vibrant family life. The grounds feature an expansive, immaculate patio perfectly positioned for al fresco dining and summer entertaining, which transitions seamlessly into a formal lawn bordered by well-stocked flower beds and a stylish privacy wall. Balancing high-end function with family appeal, the garden includes a dedicated barked children’s play area, a built-in BBQ and breakfast bar for weekend gatherings, and a practical garden shed for discreet storage. To ensure this impressive outdoor sanctuary remains in peak condition year-round, a professional gardener can be retained for a monthly fee of £150, allowing residents to enjoy the lifestyle without the labour.
