Hawksfield

Creatively landscaped gardens surround this eco-conscious three-bedroom house in Herefordshire. It is remarkably efficient, having been designed to exacting Passivhaus standards by Arbor Architects. Inside, its carefully composed rooms have been appointed in a soothing, contemporary manner, where a generous number of windows anchor the home in its peaceful and green surroundings. A mile and a half from the inimitable Hay-on-Wye, Hawksfield has both a thriving arts scene and breathtaking natural landscapes on its doorstep.
