Purbeck
£3m to £4.99M
New Build, Sited in AONB
The Project , Project Climbing Centre , Poole , Dorset , BH15 1UD , United Kingdom
Situated in the hillside of the Purbeck Countryside, and A.O.N.B (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), the site was bought by the client due to its incredible views of the Purbeck Steam Railway and the beautiful natural landscape. The site was formally known as Purbeck Vineyard, and the client had ideas to turn this ideal location into a brand new, family home. The existing structure was to be removed, but with careful consideration of its location, the new design was to be a contemporary arts and crafts style dwelling in order to remain in keeping with the previous building. This new dwelling proposes 5 bedrooms, integrated with a double garage, gym, office, yoga studio, library and indoor swimming pool, fitted with spa facilities. The glazed entrance atrium acts as the focal point to this house, with a double height space and glazed openings above and pocket slide doors to the lounge that frame the stunning views out to the countryside.
