Just 30 miles west of Philadelphia, 40 acres in the rolling hills of Wyeth country. This equestrian estate is a piece of England that has been captured in the landscape of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. The success of the six-year-long project can be measured by the view of the house seeming to rise from the land on the long approach, by the 300-year-old slate roofing tiles, the stonework guided by English masons, the insulated leaded-glass windows that marry modern technology to ancient custom, and by the elegant scale and proportion of rooms that manage to combine inviting warmth, contemporary comfort and historic English tradition. This house is also a marvel of engineering and technology, with mechanical systems sized to accommodate a small hotel that introduce energy efficiency to a 17th century environment. Also included are the in-ground pool and pool house, stables with 12 stalls, carriage barn, tenant house and beautiful English gardens. Unlimited riding across hundreds of acres with access to the Brandywine River.
A full basement with Authentic English pub with hand hewn timbered ceiling and stone walk-in fireplace, wine cellar including a wine tasting room. With separate air filter system. Also includes work out area with full bath and steam shower.
