This house was something of a ground breaker for us in that is was our first entirely off grid home. Whilst advances in technology mean that is no longer unusual, when we first visited the site at the end of 2014, the idea was far less common!
From the start we were enchanted by the setting – 13 acres woodland in rural Dorset surrounding two p onds a nd a fi eld w ith a n a ncient l ime k iln! That structure proved a vital pawn in the planning process as we were able to successfully argue that creating a new dwelling, whilst in an isolated rural location, could be “enabling development” to fund the repair and conservation of the lime kiln.
