Quietly nestled in the foothills of southern Merewether, the New Castle manifests a subtle grandeur that is both ambitious and refined. Romantically envisioned as an invisible garden of paradise, the residence&#8217;s design is entirely encompassed within a walled garden, creating a sub rosa sanctuary for its inhabitants. A thick limestone wall begins at one corner at hip height and rises to nearly two stories at the opposite corner, with only a few thoughtfully placed openings offering intriguing glimpses of what lies within, which include a cluster of Cabbage tree palms and a mature evergreen Magnolia Grandiflora.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"js-image-size__link lazy-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030591\/new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons\/68366b0891260d018992f953-new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons-photo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"New Castle \/ Anthony St John Parsons - Image 2 of 36\" data-nr-picture-id=\"68366b0891260d018992f953\" height=\"427\" itemprop=\"image\" loading=\"lazy\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030591\/new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons\/68366b0891260d018992f953-new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons-photo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1748594293_376_new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons_31.jpg\" width=\"640\"\/>\u00a9 Benjamin Hosking<\/a><a class=\"js-image-size__link lazy-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030591\/new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons\/68366ab891260d018992f948-new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons-photo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"New Castle \/ Anthony St John Parsons - Exterior Photography, Concrete\" data-nr-picture-id=\"68366ab891260d018992f948\" height=\"427\" itemprop=\"image\" loading=\"lazy\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030591\/new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons\/68366ab891260d018992f948-new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons-photo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons_32.jpg\" width=\"640\"\/>\u00a9 Benjamin Hosking<\/a><a class=\"js-image-size__link lazy-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030591\/new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons\/6836f76f008d06018709f16f-new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons-east-elevation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"New Castle \/ Anthony St John Parsons - Image 34 of 36\" data-nr-picture-id=\"6836f76f008d06018709f16f\" height=\"427\" itemprop=\"image\" loading=\"lazy\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030591\/new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons\/6836f76f008d06018709f16f-new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons-east-elevation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/east-elevation-33.jpg\" width=\"640\"\/>East Elevation<\/a><a class=\"js-image-size__link lazy-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030591\/new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons\/68366abb008d06018709ee2b-new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons-photo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"New Castle \/ Anthony St John Parsons - Exterior Photography, Concrete\" data-nr-picture-id=\"68366abb008d06018709ee2b\" height=\"427\" itemprop=\"image\" loading=\"lazy\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1030591\/new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons\/68366abb008d06018709ee2b-new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons-photo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-castle-anthony-st-john-parsons_1.jpg\" width=\"640\"\/>\u00a9 Benjamin Hosking<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite its size, the house never fully reveals its scale from the street.
