This award-winning four-bedroom house designed by the celebrated architect Stan Bolt sits on a magnificent plot of just under 1.5 acres that has sweeping rural views towards Dartmoor on one side and coastal views towards Portland Bill on the other. It was sold by The Modern House in 2015.

The eminent architecture critic Hugh Pearman has described the house as being “as good as any to be found in Britain”. Pearman points out in his article on Bolt published in the Sunday Times that, although Bolt was given “a gift of a site”, he has enhanced it with “architecture of a high order”.
