Residing home constructed amidst an awe-inspiring Georgian enclosure garden
Article: The Enchanting 'Garden House' Up for Sale
Nestled in the picturesque town of Southwell, Nottinghamshire, a unique self-build home named 'Garden House' is currently on the market for £1.5 million. This extraordinary property, completed in 2000 by a talented couple, Anna and Allan Joyce, is a testament to their combined skills as landscape architect and garden designer (Anna) and architect (Allan).
The couple purchased a derelict walled garden site in 1998, which they saw as a blank canvas for their creative vision. Anna, who valued the playful and fun aspects of design, was excited about the possibilities the site presented. The result is a home that seamlessly integrates the indoors with the outdoors, offering a connection between the living spaces and the beautiful gardens.
The 'Garden House' is a spacious property, designed to accommodate a growing family. Allan appreciates the "complete range of rooms and spaces" that the house offers, each thoughtfully designed to serve a purpose. Anna, on the other hand, emphasizes the importance of daylighting in the home, connecting most of the rooms to the conservatory and garden.
One of the most distinctive features of the 'Garden House' is its unique design elements. The property includes a house connected to a large two-tiered conservatory, a wine rack staircase leading to the roof, and a 'floating' balcony with gaps in the floor. The balcony offers a breathtaking view of the Cedar Tree in the Hall grounds, accessible via a timber wine rack over the kitchen cupboards.
The 'Garden House' is also eco-friendly, being earth-sheltered with a massive reduction in heat loss over winter. It utilizes rainwater harvesting, Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), and solar collection, making it a sustainable and energy-efficient home.
The property's name, 'Garden House', reflects not only its location but also the couple's skills as a landscape architect and architect team. The home boasts a "secret" bathroom, adding to its allure and charm.
Now, after years of cherished memories, the Joyce family is downsizing and putting the 'Garden House' up for sale. If you're in the market for a one-of-a-kind home that combines style, functionality, and sustainability, the 'Garden House' might just be the perfect fit for you.
