Comment From Robert Reed Of Gascoigne Halman
This unique and very special detached house is without parallel in the locality and many miles beyond. It has the rare and welcome distinction of having been commissioned, designed and built for owner occupation and as a result is embedded with quality features in every area of the property both internally and externally. Having never been offered to the open market before, this is a genuinely rare and remarkable buying opportunity.
What strikes me most about this house is the blend of appealing traditional building materials that blend perfectly with the local vernacular combined with forward looking design and build that allows for economic living. Examples of the former include the use of reclaimed brick and an oak framed garden room extension whilst examples of the latter include excellent levels of insulation, a ground source heat pump, underfloor heating and a bio disc private drainage system.
This house has also been lovingly designed so as to have extensive character, architectural interest and unique features. This list of attributes is rarely typical of a house of such modern construction and accordingly, much praise is due to all involved with its design.
