Madron — Madron

Once the home and studio of master printer Hugh Stoneman, Orchard Flower Farm began as a modest cottage before the current owners reimagined it with architect Barrie Briscoe. His sensitive redesign unites old and new, adding a raised timber extension inspired by Stoneman’s Islington workshop, a glazed conservatory that captures morning light, and a broad terrace overlooking landscaped grounds that fall towards Chyandour Brook. Inside, the house blends rustic charm with a calm, natural aesthetic. The original cottage now contains a generous living and dining area with flagstone and parquet floors, low-beamed ceilings and an aga forming the home’s warm heart. Beyond lies a bright kitchen opening to a voluminous sunroom that reaches toward the gardens. Upstairs are two expansive bedrooms with dressing rooms and a family bathroom. The timber wing unfolds in two parts: one includes a dramatic double-height gallery space, a bedroom, utility room and showroom; the other is a fully self-contained studio apartment with a mezzanine bedroom, bathroom and open-plan kitchen and living area. Once a busy printmaker’s workspace, it is now a tranquil haven with wall-to-wall glass. Set within 3.25 acres, the estate offers deep privacy (no public rights of way or bridleways), with terraces, balconies and winding paths overlooking mature woodland, sloping lawns, greenhouses, vegetable beds, outbuildings and a wildlife-rich stream.
