Bector Lane, Stoke St. Michael

A truly unique opportunity to acquire a luxury home within an exclusive development set into the dramatic surroundings of a former quarry and occupying 450 acres of private estate.

Combining striking architecture, natural stone and timber with beautifully finished contemporary interiors, this is a setting and style of property that is genuinely difficult to replicate.

The development immediately stands apart from the conventional. The rugged quarry backdrop creates a wonderful sense of privacy and character, while the individual homes have been thoughtfully designed to complement their surroundings. Natural stone elevations, timber cladding and large expanses of glazing give the property a distinctive modern appearance, with a private terrace and glass-fronted balcony providing places to sit out and enjoy the peaceful setting.

Inside, the standard of presentation continues. The impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room forms a superb social space, with a large central island, quartz-style work surfaces, extensive contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances. Full-width glazed doors flood the room with natural light and provide a seamless connection with the outside.

A separate sitting room offers a more relaxed space, finished with a striking dark slatted feature wall and wide glazed doors framing the unusual quarry surroundings. The combination of clean contemporary finishes, generous glazing and the natural landscape outside gives the home a character all of its own.

The bedrooms are equally impressive. The principal bedroom is a particular highlight, featuring a dramatic vaulted ceiling, extensive glazing and direct access onto a private glass-fronted balcony. Further bedrooms are beautifully presented and versatile, while plantation shutters and carefully considered finishes add to the sense of quality throughout.

The bathrooms have been designed with a boutique-hotel feel, incorporating large-format neutral tiling, contemporary sanitaryware and generous walk-in showers. The main bathroom is especially impressive, combining a freestanding bath with a separate rainfall shower to create a luxurious and relaxing space.

Outside, the property enjoys its own terrace and outdoor areas, but it is the wider environment that makes this home so memorable. Set against exposed rock faces and surrounded by the natural contours of the former quarry, the development feels peaceful, private and wonderfully removed from the ordinary. Two driveway parking spaces complete the external area.

Whilst the estate is not finished quite yet it will be complete with The Stag bar and restaurant (now open), mineral lake with man made beach, pool and spa all set within a 450 acre private estate.

For buyers searching for something beyond a standard modern home, this is a rare chance to purchase a beautifully appointed property in a setting unlike almost anything else on the market. Stylish, individual and exceptionally distinctive, viewing is essential to fully appreciate both the quality of the home and the remarkable surroundings.
