A superb building plot with planning consent for a striking contemporary home with private beach access in a highly desirable location

Plot 2, Quarrhurst - The plot is one of just two individual plots with differing and unique designs occupying a wonderfully quiet and yet highly convenient position with planning permission for an outstanding and inspired architectural design.
The approved design is for a spacious and light contemporary house, by multi-award winning practice Lincoln Miles Architecture. The two storey home extends to 331 sq.m with a private path, (shared with the adjacent house only) leading through the mature woodland down to the beach. Within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this stunning sylvan setting is on a 'no through' road with access onto the coastal path and nearby Quarr Abbey.

ABOUT LINCOLN MILES ARCHITECTURE
Lincoln Miles is a multi-disciplinary designer whose work crosses from architecture into products, sculpture and the wider visual arts with a specific attention to engineering. Lincoln Miles Architecture (LMA) has been responsible for the highest concentration of Grand Designs homes in one road in the UK which include Tane, a house which is cleverly enfolded within its landscape and Fairways, a modern dwelling that appears to levitate into the trees. Tane featured in the Grand Designs TV series in 2010, was short-listed for the show's awards in 2013 and nominated as one of designer and show presenter Kevin McCloud's Top Ten Grand Design projects. It also won the RIBA regional award (IOW) in 2011 and the Architects Journal Small Build Award in 2012.
