From an elevated position in Loxley, Lea Bank blends luxurious living with landscape views and modern family life. An extensive driveway winds up to two large homes – owned by brothers – complete with garages and a leisure suit. There is generous entertaining space, in addition to the leisure suite that houses a gym, steam room, treatment room and cinema room.

The beauty of the surrounding natural world touches every element of these homes; each bedroom has a private terrace and the material choices incorporate vertical charred larch, drystone walling and black aluminium detailing to reflect the rural setting.

Extensive rooftop terraces ensure the landscape extends into the properties, providing scenic spaces to socialise from sunrise to sunset. Outside, thoughtfully designed grounds feature a coppice, wildflower meadow, water rill, natural (swimming) pond and manicured lawns.
