4 bed detached house

The Larch House is a contemporary family home built in 2011, designed by local architects Millar Howard. The property is situated on a hillside above the village of Horsley, with views across the valley from various windows and doors. The house has been designed with Passivhaus principles in mind, featuring high-performance insulation, a heat recovery ventilation system, solar panel water heating, and underfloor heating on the ground floor. The main living areas include a 25-foot open-plan kitchen/family room with L-shaped bi-fold doors leading to a decked terrace, a generous living room, and a sitting room with its own wood burning stove. The ground floor also features a utility room, cloakroom, study, and shower room. The first floor has a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room and three additional bedrooms with mezzanine levels, a well-appointed family bathroom, and a gallery with a dramatic view back down into the dining area below. The property is set within a generous and private plot, with a gated entrance, stone steps down to the garden, and a detached studio and workshop finished in timber cladding.
