Individual architect designed home, set in 0.85 acres with superb views over Ogston Reservoir and beyond. Completed early 2023, offering 4500sq ft. with four bedrooms, all en suite.

Description

Meadow House was granted permission under Paragraph 55 planning rules, which stipulates for a house to be built in open countryside, it must comply with the rules associated with this policy. This requires the design of such homes to be truly outstanding, innovative, enhance its setting and reflect the highest standards of architecture, all whilst being sensitive to the characteristics of the surrounding area. It is safe to say that Meadow House ticks all of these boxes, with its striking features, angled projections and imposing stature, whilst at the same time blending seamlessly into its setting, with the softness of the stone rainscreen, sedum roof and its partially sunken design.

Meadow House occupies a delightful 0.85 acre plot in a secluded, tranquil position and delivers the most stunning views over Ogston Reservoir and beyond. The property was constructed using insulated concrete foam which provides a highly energy efficient build, coupled with the hidden 12kw solar PV panels, the property is extremely energy efficient, scoring a B on the energy rating.

Off the entrance hall to the left hand side sits a versatile room, currently used as a study with a ‘boot room’ area to the rear of the room. This could however be used as a dressing room, due to it neighbouring the principal bedroom.

The dining area, directly adjacent to the kitchen makes the most of the stunning views and enjoys direct access to the terrace.

The principal seating area is positioned to the end of the open plan arrangement, overlooking the garden to the west aspect and features a contemporary, glass fronted gas fire. Just off the main sitting area there is also a more casual lounge area, arranged to overlook the south aspect and the reservoir views which also benefits a sliding door out to the terrace.
