HOUSE WITH THE 'WOW' FACTOR

The word ‘exceptional’ has never been more fitting than when used to describe this 5,000 sq ft architect-designed property, it really does stand out from the crowd.

And this was recognised by the judges at the recent Daily Mail UK Property Awards when they chose this gorgeous home as the winner of its highly-sought after UK Residential Architecture Award category.

The property’s lakeshore location, a recessed seafront balcony and boathouse to the rear among many other features confirm its status as something of a rarity in the UK, let alone the province.

Set on a one-acre site in private grounds, the award-winning home derives much of its inspiration from New England/Hampshire beach houses in the USA.

Architect Des Ewing said his team was delighted to receive such a prestigious award. He said: “The design, materials and finish naturally complement the property’s setting in a beach environment.”
