Deer Close, Coniston
The Building
Deer Close is a 4-bedroom detached modern Passivhaus built in 2019 by HM Architecture. The building maximises the connection with Coniston Lake through broad windows, patio doors, terraces and balconies and offers reverse level living with principal rooms upstairs. As a very recent construction, the building also benefits from having air source heat pump, solar panels and mechanical heat recovery ventilation.
The Site
The property is set on a six-acre plot featuring 200 metres of lake frontage and jetty in addition to a large detached garage and natural woodland. The property was a former gardener’s cottage for neighbouring property The Heald - formerly owned by Arthur Ransome (author and journalist).
The Brief
The main house, garage and surrounding garden will undergo a full refurbishment/ remodelling and is for private use as well as exclusive hire opportunities such as photo shoots, film location, private events etc. The design needs to have a WOW factor that stands out from similar accommodation in The Lake District and on social media. Look & Feel is high end ski chalet (European and US style) with SPA facilities, cosy but luxurious, creating a luxury Lake District chalet that captivates and exceeds expectations.
