The site was originally vacant and the new proposal has been designed to provide a new contemporary home which also makes reference to the traditional vernacular seen elsewhere in the surrounding context. This new dwelling is a high quality modern property and has been designed to maximise natural light and respond to a modern way of living with a series of open plan spaces. The open plan areas are well zoned, with generous glazing, well positioned lighting and a feature fire place between the sitting area and dining space. Externally, the property uses the topography to its advantage to provide a series of outdoor siting spaces and areas for soft landscaping.
