This design is unique and has been tailored to the personal requirements of our client. Designed to contrast and compliment its surrounding within the Ashley Heath Conservation Area but to deliver an ultra modern living experience within the interior that blends seamlessly with the landscaped garden.
To take advantage of the tight site, cars, both visitor and family, are hidden to the rear and the northern boundary. A typical front door is not provided within the front elevation but instead you enter at the side which provides the opportunity of having once entered the building, long views back out to the garden. This also allows us to give the south-westerly aspect over to private external spaces instead of driveways and entrance lobbies.
A curved double height Venetian plastered wall, with full glazing at high level, provides a backbone to the house and focuses the eye back onto the landscape. With the installation of air source heat pumps and the utilisation of the swimming pool as a heat sink, this allows this building to be cheaper and easier to heat than a traditional terraced house. Systems provided by In-kontrol monitor this to maximise its efficiency. Great care was taken with working with the interior designers, Elle Design Ltd, and the landscape architects, Planit EDC, to provide inside/outside spaces that had as much detailed design and design progression as the rest of the envelope.

A breath of fresh air, nice to see great deal of attention detail.
Great to see such a sensitive fusion of traditional, contemporary design. A very desirable building that is both elegant and homely.
stunning!
Work of art which compliments its surroundings beautifully
Fantastic!
Superb building!
What a stunning building!
The sort of house anyone would love to live in; stylish, clean, contemporary and stunning, well done all
A very interesting house, i think if i owned it(as if i could ever earn enough money) i would have to leave the lights onjust to re-create that picture!
Maybe if the lights i did decide to turn off the lights for just one week i could afford a statue of myself within the grounds, which looks back over my wonderful house.
Lovely place! One day it will be mine!
We attain to dwelling, so it seems, only by means of building. The latter, building, has the former, dwelling, as its goal. Still, not every building is a dwelling.
This is, and is done in no way abysmally, but superlatively, from conception to habitation.
I heart this house!
An excellent and sensitive realisation of the Grand House, kept within the Cheshire vernacular, but with all the required sharpness of a 21st century design.
A Stunning Cheshire Property and complete family residence in a perfect setting.
contemporary, intelligent, artistic, beautiful
Now I just need to start saving!
