德文 · 整套民居 · 4室8床2.5卫 · 可住9人 · Stunning architect-designed zero-carbon Passivhaus
We built our house in 2021. It is a gorgeous, comfortable, spacious home-from-home and a state-of-the-art eco home, in which you can enjoy a fully solar-powered and zero-carbon stay. Situated on the edge of Dartington village, there are wonderful walks, bike rides, wild swimming spots and an award-winning pub on your doorstep. Within easy reach are the stunning beaches of the South Devon coast, as well as Dartmoor's rugged beauty. We accommodate 9 guests, with option for additional child. Northernhay has a lovely comfortable and spacious vibe with a scandi/mid-century modern inspired interior, packed with original artwork, locally handmade furniture and restored vintage pieces. Particular care was taken in the build to create a "healthy home" with optimal air quality and low VOCs in all choices of materials. The downstairs has an airy open plan feel, with three sliding pocket doors to create privacy and cosiness when required. Floor to ceiling sliding double doors open off the kitchen/diner into the back garden and living room into the front, so you can always find the sun (or shade!). There is a room off the kitchen used by us as a playroom, with plenty of toys, games, books and a cosy reading window nook. If you are visiting without kids this would make an ideal yoga room or additional chill out space. In the living room there is a wonderful Bluethner piano you are welcome to play. There is a shower room downstairs, a utility room with washing machine, clothes rack and efficient heat-pump dryer. There is also space to store bikes or scooters. Upstairs the main bedroom, with superking size bed, has wonderful views over the fields and a walk through dressing room, leading to an ensuite toilet and sink, as well as access to the large roof terrace. Two further bedrooms have king size beds and the fourth room has a low double bed underneath a built-in upper bunk bed with a full size single mattress. Additionally in this room there is a sleeping platform with camping mattress in the eaves which could accommodate an extra child, recommended under age 10 due to the low ceiling! This is the space with the round fairy lights in the photos. The dedicated workspace is in Bedroom 4 and has two desk spaces. The large family bathroom upstairs has a spa feel, with curvy walls, a large bath and circular shower, tiled in recycled glass mosaics. Gardens front and back and the roof terrace provide beautiful spaces to relax in the sun, eat outdoors, have a cuppa, or play. We have a hammock suspended between apple trees and a swing and we have growing areas where you are welcome to harvest fruit and veg - most likely raspberries, peas, beans, lettuce and tomatoes.
