MULBERRY HOUSE

Grade II Georgian manor

EXPLORE NOW

Set amongst the rolling landscape just outside Henley-on-Thames, Mulberry House is an eight-bedroom, Grade II listed Georgian manor shaped by centuries of evolution. Originally known as Craigmore, the house began as a classically proportioned stucco Georgian residence, later receiving Victorian additions before eventually being converted into commercial offices. When Vicky and Neal Thomas discovered the property, its original domestic character had almost disappeared: some twenty office rooms occupied the house, there was neither a kitchen nor a bathroom, and years of commercial use had left much of the building's potential concealed.

What followed was not simply a renovation, but the return of the house to the purpose for which it had originally been created. Years of commercial intervention were stripped away and the proportions of the Georgian building allowed to breathe again. Rooms once divided for offices became living spaces, while the architectural character that had survived beneath successive alterations became the foundation for its next chapter. Today, Mulberry House exists somewhere between grandeur and intimacy. Its Georgian architecture provides a sense of permanence, while the interiors bring a distinctly contemporary character to the spaces within. Period details sit comfortably alongside modern design, allowing the house to acknowledge its history without becoming beholden to it.

It was this relationship between heritage and modernity that first drew Levassi to Mulberry House.

When searching for the setting for our golf lifestyle campaign, we wanted somewhere that could do more than provide a backdrop. The environment needed to become part of the story, bringing together the traditions surrounding golf with a more contemporary interpretation of the lifestyle around it.

Mulberry House gave us exactly that.

Across the house and its grounds, we were able to create a world in which sport existed naturally alongside fashion and lifestyle. The history remained visible, but the way we occupied the space was entirely our own.

For Levassi, that is what makes places like Mulberry House interesting. Great spaces do not simply hold stories.

They help us tell them.
