Ottery St. Mary, Devon

Description

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a fully consented Paragraph 83 building plot in a truly secluded and picturesque East Devon setting. Designed by the award-winning Paul Humphries Architects, The Wier House has been thoughtfully created to sit in harmony with its surrounding landscape, combining striking contemporary architecture with the beauty and tranquillity of rural living.
Inspired by the local landscape and heritage of nearby Ottery St Mary, the proposed home has been carefully designed around the contours, views, and atmosphere of the site itself. The layout offers a unique “upside-down” arrangement, with private bedroom accommodation at ground floor level and stunning open-plan living spaces above, positioned to make the most of the far-reaching countryside and coastal views toward Rockbeare Hill.
Large areas of glazing flood the home with natural light, while natural materials including timber and lime-rendered walls create a warm and timeless feel throughout. A particularly distinctive feature of the design is the use of rainwater within the central courtyard, where cascading chains create a calming natural soundtrack and enhance the sense of peace and seclusion.
