The house presents a private, closed frontage alongside a main road, but opens out on the garden side with a range of sliding glass doors towards beautiful south-facing views across open fields to distant hills of the Peak District.
The ground floor is an open plan space with a sunny and light-filled kitchen, dining and living areas all enjoying the open views. The simple rectangular form is highly energy efficient, with its buff brick and dark stained timber elevations echoing nearby agricultural buildings, whilst the garage has a planted biodiverse green roof making it unobtrusive from the higher road. A paved terrace with edge planters and a pergola provides a private and sunny level area around the house, with steps down to the rough pasture beyond. The asymmetric roof pitch echoes surrounding buildings facing roadside while providing an optimum angle for solar panels on the garden side.
