What makes this property unique

The space has been extensively renovated with sustainability in mind. It has features that reduce heat loss and external heat gain. The studio is air-conditioned and heated, though is less reliant on these facilities because of its environmental design – for the most part it remains cool in summer and warm in winter.

The garden has extensive plantings of food plants and trees designed to work with the buildings to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It's a wild jungle of trees and spaces designed to get lost in; you will need to search elsewhere for a neatly planted manicured settings.
