From the top of Meadfoot Sea Road, with the fresh sea air and the beautiful bay slowly revealing itself, it feels calm, welcoming and almost a world apart, with its own gentle microclimate. Meadfoot House is set back from the road up a driveway, so it’s very private even though it’s a 2-3 minute walk to Meadfoot Beach. Like its setting, it’s a welcoming, generous house, full of big spaces, high ceilings and beautiful detailing. It’s gracious and full of light, with floor to ceiling sash windows on the ground floor. It’s comfortable too: warm in the winter and cool in the summer with the original 800mm thick walls. When we decided to convert the house from a boutique hotel, our aim was to restore the original elegance while creating a house that flows well, especially on the ground floor which lends itself to being the perfect party space. The room configuration works for both couples or large families, and we ensured there would be plenty of storage space too. Great care was taken to preserve the character while bringing the house into the 21st century. Above all, it has always been a happy and tranquil building. Guests loved arriving here when it was a hotel, but it now feels exactly as it was always meant to be: an extraordinary home. The location is equally special. Meadfoot Beach is loved by paddleboarders and swimmers, with a café enjoying wonderful sea views. Beautiful walks are on the doorstep, while Ilsham Green and Wellswood village are a short drive away, offering a pub, grocery store, deli/café, patisserie, florist and more. In the other direction, The Elephant (a superb Michelin starred restaurant) and the best fish restaurant in the bay is around 10 minutes away. It is this combination of privacy, elegance, lifestyle and location that makes Meadfoot so special.” The entrance porch opens into a highly impressive hallway, where the sense of scale is immediately apparent. High ceilings, ornate detailing and an eye-catching feature wall create a memorable first impression, while the subtle Art Deco influence adds a layer of individuality and character. Clever design is evident from the outset, with a concealed door leading to a substantial cloakroom, as well as a further hidden door opening into a large coat and boot room. The staircase rises elegantly to the first floor, reinforcing the grandeur and period charm that continues throughout the home. The drawing room is a beautiful and atmospheric space, rich in character and architectural detail. Decorative ceiling roses, panelled walls, dado rails and a feature fireplace all speak to the age and quality of the property, while floor-to-ceiling glazing, sash windows and original wooden shutters allow natural light to pour into the room. It is a space that feels both refined and inviting, equally suited to quiet evenings and more formal entertaining. The dining room is another exceptional reception space, designed for gathering and entertaining. Further ceiling detailing is complemented by a contemporary pendant light, bringing a stylish modern contrast to the period setting. A floor-to-ceiling bay window with sash windows and wooden shutters overlooks the front garden, creating a wonderful sense of space, light and eleg
