Woodhouse Copse, Arts and Crafts thatched cottage in Holmbury St Mary, England

The Grade II listed building features brick construction with weatherboarding, a central stone chimney, and traditional thatched roofing techniques throughout its structure.

Architect Oliver Hill designed this residence in 1926 for actor Amy Brandon Thomas and William Deane Barnes-Brand, incorporating timbers from an old Coulsdon mill.

The garden design represents a collaboration between renowned garden designer Gertrude Jekyll and Amy Brandon Thomas, with plants sourced from Jekyll's nursery.

Music at Woodhouse transforms the property into a concert venue, with an indoor swimming pool converted into a performance room and a lakeside amphitheater.

The property combines architectural elements influenced by Edwin Lutyens with Hill's sculptural interpretation of thatch, setting it apart from other period constructions.
