The exterior of the home, covered in stones salvaged from the original building on the land, carefully shaped and arranged by a local stonemason, has a traditional look. The exterior of the front door – Urban Front's Barn design – is also reclaimed and repurposed. With top marks for sustainability, the beauty of this door lies in its rustic texture and unique visual variations.
Step through the door, and you'll be wowed by the double-height ceiling and curved bespoke staircase by Bisca. The use of colour throughout the property is unexpected and designed to delight, from the yellow of the door to the bright stair runner, vibrant artwork, and use of pattern.
The back of the property features a stunning glass extension that makes the most of the far-reaching countryside and sea views. The pops of colour, patterns and textures continue here, along with two special fireplaces and seating that makes you want to put your feet up.
