A 'super estate' is traditionally described as an estate property whose buildings and gardens boast the typically unconstrained layout of a country estate whilst being architecturally aligned with the modern London town house. Grade II listed, Old Jordans is such a property. Purchased by the current owner after 400 years of ownership by The Quaker Trust, Old Jordans holds a unique place in British history. Adjacent to The Quaker Meeting House, the resting place of William Penn, Old Jordans served as a hiding place for Quakers from Oliver Cromwell. In addition, it is the location of a historic barn built from the timbers of the famous Mayflower ship, furthering the estate's extraordinary legacy. The brief was to create a uniquely impressive and versatile design equally suited to providing the ultimate property for entertaining in keeping with Old Jordans previous usage. Or simply a stunning single residence with incredible attention to detail, accommodating intimate private areas, breath taking views and an atmosphere palpably steeped in history.
