House overlooking river and trees by Woodford Architecture and Interiors, RIBA Chartered Architects in Ashburton, Devon.

This new family home takes advantage of its setting in the village of Newton Ferrers, on the banks of the beautiful Yealm estuary.

Spacious, light-filled living accommodation opens out onto a terrace overlooking the river while, at the heart of the home, a concealed courtyard connects the kitchen and informal living spaces. A luxury underground swimming pool and spa lie within the steeply sloping site, hidden beneath a ‘green’ roof as if part of the landscape itself.

“We loved their creativity, ability and courage to think outside of the box. The end designs were detailed and well thought out. Overall it was an absolute pleasure to work with them.” – Private client
