The Garden House, a seven-bedroom house in Southwell, is approached by a quiet country lane and has a “dynamic layout” with balconies and roof garden.
A spokeswoman from The Modern House, which is marketing the house for £1,650,000, said: “Set within the grounds of a Georgian walled-garden, this superb seven-bedroom house has been joyfully designed around the exceptional architectural landscaping.
"The internal living space spans over 4,580 square feet across multiple levels, arranged in a playful layout of floating mezzanines, balconies, and a double-height winter garden.
"Designed with high energy efficiency in mind The Garden House has outstanding solar collection, heat recovery and rainwater harvesting and is partially earth-sheltered to conserve its heat and energy.
“The Garden House is approached via a quiet country lane, leading to a secluded entrance, revealing little of the house from the walled courtyard. A private driveway leads to a sheltered car port available for several vehicles to park adjacent to the house. There is also a log store, outside store room and a smaller front courtyard garden.
“On entering, the dynamic layout of the house gradually unveils. Designed collaboratively by the owners, an architect, Allan Joyce Architects, and a landscape architect, the layout has been designed with family life, entertaining and quiet retreat in mind, with free-flowing communal rooms in perfect balance with quieter, reflective areas.
"Replete with cleverly designed interventions and details, the house feels fun and playful. With the southerly side of the house constructed almost entirely of double-height, oak-framed glass walls, there is exceptional natural light throughout, and a seamless visual relationship with the gardens.”
