The owners moved into the modern four bed home this spring. The home looks out onto an ancient monument called “the Barrow” and was built using a concrete frame with durable cladding which is designed to rust as it’s exposed to the elements. 53 The home features 18 metre long sliding doors, offering impressive views over the natural landscape. Barrow House was designed by ID Architecture and Belvin Construction managed the construction of the project. Groundworks were carried out by CLS Engineering, steelwork was by P&D Engineering, plumbing was by Andrew E Barnes, ground source and underfloor heating was installed by Trusted Energy and decorating was by Richard Betts; all of which are based in Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire and North Nottinghamshire. www.belvin.co.uk
