While it puts sustainability front and centre, with solar technology, the house has all the mod cons for family living including a bespoke Bulthaup kitchen island with Gaggenau appliances, a library area and a cosy wood-burning stove to snuggle in front of during those chilly Autumn nights.

It isn't the only house offering a slice of the good life that has caught our eye recently.
Last month we were dreaming of moving to a gorgeous, off-grid house, nestled in the middle of Dartmoor, Devon.
The sweet little home, known as 'Autumn Wood', available for a not entirely unaffordable £600,000, is totally self-sufficient and offers its own solar panel system, natural spring to drink from and vegetable garden for home-grown dinners.
And back in August we'd mentally moved into Cumbria's Skiddaw House, which was officially 'the most remote house in England'.
Located in the wild landscape around Skiddaw Forest, 11 miles from Keswick in Cumbria, Skiddaw House is situated in 3.45 acres of private land and is only accessible on foot or by sturdy 4X4 vehicle.
Blame the pandemic but we actually quite fancy the idea of getting away from it all with just the local wildlife as our neighbours.
