This amazing luxury house sunk into a disused RESERVOIR could be yours … for £925,000
Designer mansion on the Jurassic Coast in Devon boasts a unique semi-circular design, a stunning courtyard and five bedrooms
FANCY living in a disused reservoir?
It might not sound too inviting – unless you have £925,000 to spare on to splash out on this stunning property.
The five-bedroomed house – which looks like something from Grand Designs – is built in a decommissioned reservoir near Sidmouth, in Devon.
Now the amazing conversion, one of the most unusual in Britain, is on the market.
Woolbrook Reservoir was bought in 2008 after being out of commission for years.
But the current owners transformed the space into a semi-circular two-storey home with 6,500 sq ft of living space and an artificial grass roof, which took three years to build.
The unique home boasts five bedrooms, a games room and stunning decked courtyard with raised borders.
The sheltered space, according the estate agent, “almost has its own micro-climate, and also has “steps leading to the first floor level and further on up to the gardens.”
Inside the house, triple-height, floor-to-ceiling windows encase the vaulted living spaces overlooking the courtyard.
The bedrooms are on the galleried first floor and the master suite boasts doors onto another decked terrace.
The beautiful property is near the market town of Honiton and overlooks the stunning views of Salcombe Bay.
