A Modern Retreat

Connybear House, Coffinswell, Devon, boasts breathtaking views over Dartmoor, surrounded by rolling green hills and expansive blue skies. This striking contemporary home required equally stunning landscaping to complement its architecture and blend with the natural surroundings.

A new stone-walled entrance leads to upper and lower parking areas, paved with elegant Asian Blue stone and lined with lush hedging. A captivating reflective pool cascades over a stainless steel rill into a lower pool, while stone retaining walls, pathways, and subtle lighting guide you through the space.

At the front entrance, ornamental cherry trees and vibrant seasonal plantings enhance the landscape. The Upper Terrace exudes sophistication, featuring glass and stainless steel balustrades, a glowing stainless steel water sphere, and black pots that frame the panoramic view.

Descending via sleek balustraded steps, the Lower Terrace hosts a stunning water feature, where a Pilsmore Blue stone wall channels water through a steel blade into a lit stone trough. A sunken hot tub, surrounded by Millboard decking and lush greenery, expands into an illuminated Asian Blue stone entertaining area.

The Sunken Terrace offers a cosy retreat, complete with a grand outdoor fireplace framed by blue stone walls, soft lighting, and rich planting—an inviting space for both summer evenings and cooler months, seamlessly integrating the home’s modern aesthetic with nature.
