High Stables is a remarkable, energy-efficient home born from the vision and determination of its current owners. Designed by award-winning Harrogate architect Ruth Donnelly of Doma Architects, this unique property seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings while maintaining a low environmental impact.
A Home in Harmony with Nature
Situated in Greenbelt land within a Special Landscape Area and adjacent to a Site of Special Scientific Interest, High Stables gained approval from the government planning inspectorate due to its outstanding design and sustainability credentials. This single-storey, L-shaped residence is constructed using structural insulated panels (SIPS) and clad in Canadian red cedar, which is gracefully aging to a silvery-grey hue. Its insulated meadow grass roof enhances its connection to the landscape, while triple-glazed picture windows to the south and west frame breathtaking countryside views.
Sustainable & Energy-Efficient Living
Built in 2017 High Stables is designed for year-round comfort, featuring a ground source heat pump for underfloor heating, high insulation levels, and an airtight construction. A mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system ensures fresh, healthy air circulation, while the property’s own wastewater treatment plant adds to its self-sufficiency. Solar panels have been installed to further enhance the home's eco-friendly credentials. The p0roperty is offered with the remainder of a Global 10 year warranty.
