Inigo Triggs · Arts and Crafts house completed in 1923; garden plan by Unsworth and Triggs with planting and parterre by Gertrude Jekyll

Durford Wood, Petersfield, Hampshire
Independent reading
A 1923 Inigo Triggs country house and Gertrude Jekyll landscape, fully modernised through 2023 with a four-bedroom lakeside annexe across 10.4 acres.
Durford Edge clears Aveno's gate because the six-year transformation is unusually comprehensive while the Triggs-and-Jekyll design remains legible, and because the detached estate combines a principal house, lakeside annexe, mature woodland and private lake. The £360/sq ft blended headline is not a valuation shortcut: it mixes principal accommodation with The Hollow, garages, studio and outbuildings. Resolve the legal estate, component areas, approvals, energy conflict and operating burden before relying on the apparent density or the £3.25m ask.

- TAUK currently offers Durford Edge at offers over £3.25m as a freehold detached estate with ten bedrooms, seven bathrooms, approximately 10.4 acres and a live enquiry route.
- The current instruction attributes the original Arts and Crafts house to Inigo Triggs and the gardens to Gertrude Jekyll; Hampshire Garden Trust independently records an extant Unsworth-and-Triggs garden with Jekyll planting and parterre plans.
- The owners are stated to have extended and fully modernised the main house and annexe over six years, completing in 2023 with renewed plumbing, electrics, insulation and 167 replacement double-glazed windows.
- The Hollow provides about 2,600 sq ft of separate lakeside accommodation with four bedrooms, while the estate also includes a private lake, woodland, terraces, garaging and studio space.
- TAUK's working exact-property YouTube tour aligns with the listed identity, architecture, landscape, accommodation and setting and remains inside the publisher-controlled player.
- Current sources conflict on EPC rating and describe the 9,025 sq ft total differently; neither conflict is normalised away.
Investigate next
- Obtain the official title register, title plan and UPRN, then reconcile the 10.4-acre extent, private estate and £800 annual road charge, lake, woodland, shared land, access, covenants, rights, boundaries, drainage and service obligations.
- Retrieve every planning and Building Control record for the six-year extension and modernisation programme, including the house, The Hollow, garages, studio, terraces, lake works and all conditions, completion certificates, structural records, professional appointments and warranties.
- Commission a signed RICS component measurement reconciling the 9,025 sq ft overall figure with TAUK's 6,265 sq ft main-house line and separating principal accommodation, The Hollow, garages, studio, storage, plant and other non-habitable space.
- Obtain both valid EPCs and three years of oil, electricity, water, septic-tank, road, lake, woodland, garden, security, insurance and maintenance evidence; commission property-level flood, drainage, ground, radon, contamination, tree and ecology searches.
Still unknown

All property film and photography remain publisher-controlled. Only the live film player and original Aveno evidence graphics are permitted; social stills require separate written permission. The live TAUK instruction opens the working exact-property YouTube tour for Durford Edge, titled “An English Masterpiece: Historic Country Manor, Jekyll Gardens & Private Woodland” and published by Celeste — Independent Estate Agent. Aveno uses only YouTube's privacy-enhanced publisher-controlled player and copies, downloads, screenshots, rehosts and hotlinks none of the film or estate-agent photography. The dossier retains an Aveno evidence panel and direct publisher/source links if the remote player is unavailable; no broken-image panel is rendered. Third-party material remains the property of its publisher. The publisher does not endorse Aveno’s independent assessment.
