Designed by David Levitt in 1964, this rural house is sited on a steeply sloping hillside overlooking a group of C12th buildings. The house was barely insulated and in need of repair. The house was refurbished and a new kitchen, study, bedroom joinery, bespoke furniture and floor finishes were added. New windows, insulation and services resulted in an 80% reduction in energy use.
