DESCRIPTION Constructed in 2016, Powers House was designed by the present owners, Camillin Denny Design, with a view to create a grand farmhouse. The building blends seamlessly into its surroundings, offering spectacular views over its landscaped gardens to the surrounding countryside.

The building was a finalist in the LABC Building Excellence Awards (2017) for the Best Individual New Home. With a spacious and adaptable layout over three floors, the building can either be used as one large house, or split into two, creating a two bedroomed self-contained cottage, which the current owners have used to generate a significant income through holiday lets. Underfloor heating throughout the building is served by an air source heat pump and there are solar photovoltaic panels to the roof. These combined with high levels of thermal insulation, including solar thermal roof panels and thermally broken windows have contributed to the buildings A rated energy performance certificate.
