Relocating from Cardiff to Devon, the Horler family started their search for a suitable family home. Having seen a newly build property, which they deemed unsuitable, the family were shown plans for another property which had just been granted planning permission.
Located near a rural village in the Devon countryside, the plot sat in a pretty setting boarded by woodland. The plans were for an ambitious modern designed property, which was exactly what the Horler family was looking for. The family loved the idea of seeing their house being built and having an input in the layout and finishes.
The contracts were signed in April with the work due to be completed by the end of July that same year.
The plans showcased a fantastic vison of angles and curves. Due to the slope of the land, considerations had to be made with bridges designed to access the front door and the garage.
Externally the blockwork house was clad in a combination of local stonework, larch and render, with a zinc roof. A curved roof terrace above the garage is accessed from the master bedroom on the first floor and finished with artificial grass to create an all weather surface.
Aluminium windows were fitted throughout the house in RAL 7032 with bi-folding doors connecting the lounge, kitchen and family rooms with the outside. A glass curtain wall was created for the stair tower feature. The staircase was always intended to be the centre piece and they have certainly achieved that.
Due to circumstances out of the families control, the Horler’s had to take over the build and finally managed to move into their incredible West Hill home two years after they signed the initial contract. Now they have experienced the luxuries of their new home, they couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.
