Facilities were needed for multiple vehicles, with a private drive and electrically operated gates, with audio/visual door entry system. Whilst being a contemporary design, the external finishes of basalt stone, Grespania wood effect ceramic cladding, and charcoal grey metal, complement the natural, sylvan setting. The house has been finished to the highest standards, creating a luxurious, private retreat, with bespoke interior architecture and state of the art intelligent home technology and climate control. La Serena epitomises modern, luxury living, in a stunning, unique setting. La Serena has been the winner of several industry awards since it’s completion. Recently, at the International Property Awards 2018-19 La Serena won the award of ‘Best Architecture Single Residence UK’, having also won the award of ‘Best Architecture Residence South West England’ at the UK Property Awards. La Serena was also shortlisted at the 2018 International Design & Architecture Awards, for the Residential £2.5- 5 million (property by value) Award, and was also Highly Commended as Single Unit Development of the Year, for developers Belhaven Homes, at the Premier Guarantee Awards 2017.
