High drone view from the south-west in low golden evening light, looking up a Dales valley side to limestone scars. The house is a long low rectangle of grass roof on a silver-grey limestone base, its south-west front a dark line of glazing, with a small planted courtyard sunk into the middle of the roof and a drystone field wall running down the slope to a square stone pier on the roof with smoke rising from it. A sunken ha-ha curves round below the house. Above it are the stone field barn by the track down from the lane, a walled kitchen garden with a long greenhouse, an orchard, a small wind turbine, and rows of solar panels at the right edge, all in a patchwork of drystone-walled pasture. Off brief: the house stands as a stone-walled box on the slope, with stone end walls showing on both sides, rather than a roof that carries straight back into the hillside. The front reads as one continuous strip of glass almost flush with the stone, with no deep covered porch, no piers and no steel screens.
