Enchanting in the Forest Catching glimpses of deer and hearing nothing but the birds, Ehson Allipour relishes the almost secret approach, through the forest, towards the five bedroom home and detached guest villa he had built in this magical setting five years ago Walking through the woodland close to his house, Ehson Allipour has plenty of time to reflect on the magnificent home he has had built in this stunning Berkshire beauty spot. His luxurious five bedroom property, which also features a separate villa, offers a truly unique seclusion while also unusually also being in a fabulous location for reaching London. "I just loved the position of the land the first time I saw it. It was right on the top of a hill - one of the highest points in Berkshire, in fact - in beautiful woodland and with no near neighbours," he said. "It is so quiet here that you can sit and watch the birds and the other wildlife, even the deer." Fairytale location Tucked away in the heart of Ashley Hill Forest, three-storey Clifton was built in 1991 on the site of an old hunting lodge. The property was carefully planned to provide light and space, as well as comfort. "I wanted to make the most of the full views of the forest," said Ehson. "But I also wanted it to be a modern, airy house, which was very bright, and had plenty of room for guests." In every room at Clifton there are lots of windows, which bring the panoramic views, as well as the light, right into the house. "It really is wonderful," he added. Open plan living The main house opens up into the glorious entrance hall, with a beautiful winding staircase, and then into fabulous reception spaces. "The L-shaped living area is ideal for entertaining," said Ehson. "Because it is open plan, with the fire in the middle, you can have different seating or dining areas. There are lovely views across the gardens towards the woodland from here." Another open plan area has doors out on to the terrace and also leads into the kitchen/breakfast room. "This is lovely too. You can sit out here and have breakfast in the morning," he said. And he added: "The layout of this house on the ground floor makes it ideal for hosting large parties."
