Theescombe Hill House is a striking, Scandinavian-influenced home in Amberley, fully renovated to create an airy, modern space that embraces its wide views across the Woodchester Valley. The award-winning vineyard opposite provides a beautiful focal point, and the design of the house — from the glazing to the pool terrace — makes the most of its hillside position. The infinity-style pool is a standout feature, heated to 28˚ for most of the year, with an option to heat it during winter by request. “Winston’s Bar,” named after the owner’s childhood nickname, opens directly to the pool terrace for easy outdoor dining and sunset drinks.
