The home is as practical as it is beautiful, offering two living areas, a modern kitchen with a scullery, three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room, an office, double garage, and an impressive wine cellar. With thoughtful design choices that provide shelter from sea breezes and maximise natural light and warmth, this home is a true modern retreat on the water’s edge.

These accolades recognise more than beautiful design, they celebrate the teamwork, creativity, and care that go into every one-off home we create. At Design Builders, every project begins with your ideas. These results reinforce what drives us: bespoke design, meticulous craftsmanship, and a process that places our clients at the heart of every decision.
