Occupying an elevated position, the property enjoys a due south-facing aspect towards the Polden Hills, allowing for far-reaching countryside views and an abundance of natural light throughout the day.
Designed with sustainability at its core, the house is constructed using straw bale walling with clay plaster internally and external lime render, complemented by Douglas Fir structural timbers. This thoughtful approach provides exceptional insulation and long-term efficiency. Further enhancements include triple glazing, solar photovoltaic and solar thermal systems, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR), and a biodigester drainage system, all contributing to the home’s impressive environmental credentials.
Additional features include a rainwater harvesting system supplying the downstairs WC and washing machine, alongside a Tesla Powerwall located within the garage, which stores surplus solar energy generated during the day for use after nightfall, significantly improving energy efficiency.
Accommodation
The heart of the home is a striking open-plan living space, ideal for both family life and entertaining. Exposed Douglas Fir timbers and a beautifully crafted staircase create a strong architectural statement. The bespoke oak kitchen is well-appointed with generous work surfaces, a walk-in pantry, and a range cooker incorporating a seven-burner LPG hob, three electric ovens, and an electric warming drawer. The space flows seamlessly into the dining and sitting areas, where a wood-burning stove provides both heating and hot water. Large triple-glazed windows, complete with bespoke elm seating, perfectly frame the surrounding landscape. A conservatory extends the living accommodation and is topped with a sedum (living) roof, enhancing both its environmental performance and visual integration with the gardens. Upstairs, a spacious landing area, currently used as a library and study, enjoys some of the finest views in the house. There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite wet room, and a further double bedroom. Bamboo flooring runs through the second and third bedrooms, while the principal bedroom is finished with characterful recycled timber flooring. The family bathroom is stylishly appointed, featuring a freestanding bath and composting toilet, further reflecting the property’s eco credentials. Daisy Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly individual home that successfully combines innovative eco-design with exceptional living space, all set within a picturesque and convenient rural setting.Entrance Porch
