A contemporary home for modern living. Located on a steep corner site on the edge of the village, the design required particular attention to the varying levels so the occupants could access the lower and higher gardens directly from the house. A ‘glimpse’ window clad in natural slate provides views over the surrounding countryside without overlooking into the neighbours garden. The house incorporates low energy strategies that include an air source heat pump, solar panels and a a highly insulated building envelope. A loft above the double garage provides space for a home office with kitchenette to make this dwelling a future proof and adaptable place to live.
