Set in the grounds of 19th Century Limehurst in Bowdon, this proposed three bed dwelling makes an extraordinary statement, without the visual impact of an ordinary house. Hidden underneath a landscaped classical English garden, is a contemporary earth sheltered house. Huntsmere, together with NC Homes, created a design ethos of building underground, to avoid harming the spacious, well landscaped character of the Devisdale Conservation Area, by creating a decorative feature garden above. The proposal seeked to preserve and enhance the soft landscaping, allowing sufficient un-built curtilage around Limehurst, for the residents and wildlife to enjoy.
