Daisy Farm is a distinctive and thoughtfully constructed eco-home, set in a tucked-away rural position in Newtown, Panborough, enjoying spectacular far-reaching views towards the Mendip Hills and surrounding countryside.

Constructed using straw bale walls with clay plaster and external render, the property was designed with sustainability, energy efficiency and longevity in mind. Triple glazing, solar PV and solar thermal panels, rainwater harvesting, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) and a biodigester private drainage system all combine to create a highly efficient home.

The solar installation currently generates in the region of £3,000 per annum in income, in addition to reducing running costs.

The accommodation is arranged around an impressive open-plan ground floor, where exposed structural timbers and a British Douglas fir staircase create a striking architectural centrepiece. The kitchen, dining and sitting areas flow seamlessly together, providing a superb social space ideal for modern family living and entertaining. The oak kitchen is fitted with a range cooker incorporating a seven-burner LPG hob and warming drawer, generous work surfaces and a pantry. Porcelain tiled flooring with insulation beneath provides comfort and practicality, whilst a wood-burning stove, which provides the heating and hot water, forms a natural focal point. Triple glazing with attractive elm window seating draws in natural light and frames the outstanding views.

On the first floor, a generous lounge area is currently arranged as a library and study space, enjoying some of the finest outlooks from the property. There are three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite wet room. Bamboo flooring features within the bedrooms, continuing the natural material palette. The family bathroom includes a freestanding bath and composting toilet, reflecting the home’s environmentally conscious design. The overall design is both practical and characterful, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern eco-technology.
