Set on the edge of open countryside, overlooking parkland and the Grade II*-listed Great Moreton Hall – designed by Edward Blore in the 1840s – Blore House is one of three detached houses by Gleave Homes, forming a small, high quality contemporary scheme defined by a careful use of natural materials. The houses take their names from the estate’s history:

Ackers House, Bellot House and Blore House. Blore House is the first to be released, with the remaining two to follow shortly. Each house extends to approximately 3,100 sq ft and has been designed with a clear emphasis on light, flow and longevity. Generous windows are a defining feature throughout; at the front, two well-proportioned reception rooms draw in natural light, while to the rear, full-width sliding doors open the principal living space directly onto the garden. The internal arrangement is open yet adaptable. Crittall-style glazed doors connect the front dining room to a south-facing kitchen, dining and living space at the rear, where full-width glazing frames uninterrupted views across surrounding fields.

Materiality is central to the scheme, with a clear emphasis on natural, durable finishes including Indian stone paving and stone lintels. This is paired with a high-performance specification: triple glazing, underfloor heating powered by an air source heat pump, and carefully selected finishes throughout. Kitchens are by Leicht with NEFF appliances, while bathrooms combine Duravit sanitaryware with Porcelanosa tiling. Practical elements are well resolved. A generous utility room has direct garden access alongside a gardener’s WC and considered door placements support easy day-to-day movement. An oak staircase leads to five double bedrooms arranged across a single floor. The principal suite is oriented to the view, with a Juliet balcony and en suite, complemented by a further guest en suite and a family bathroom. This home includes private parking, a detached double garage, electric vehicle charging and gigabit fibre broadband.
