ARCHITECTS FOCUS
• The heating system , the Mitsubishi Ecodan Full Coastal Units , is the industry leader in low carbon heating
• Underfloor heating run by air sourced heat pump units ensure a low carbon footprint and low maintenance operation
• Internally the appliances will all be low rating electrical , and the houses fully controlled using a Smart system for economy and efficiency
Each Southshore house will have a unique gargantuan balcony to offer , what feels like , endless space for alfresco socialising , as well as the best seat in the house to view those famous south coast sunrises .
Inside , each property will have a carefully designed interior scheme , featuring a palette of clean neutral shades . The deliberate décor will intertwine modern coastal abode with countryside chic . Soft down lighting adds a soft glow throughout , while the minimal , light and bright base is perfect for new owners incorporate their own personal style .
ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS
The Stephens + Stephens team have looked at every element of the Southshore properties and endeavored to ensure they are not only the most efficient systems for the new owners , but that they have the least environmental impact too .
Surrounding the properties will be trees and scrubs , including traditional Cornish hedge , as well as wildflower meadow planting which will consist of a conservation seed mix for coastal habitats , containing 26 UK native wildflowers and 9 grasses . Even the ornamental planting has been designed with the wildlife in mind – including fruits and flowers .
THE LOCATION – SEATON
The Southshore homes have been built on the lesser-known , quieter south coast of Cornwall in the hidden-gem village of Seaton . Surrounded by the perfect balance of rolling countryside and pristine shoreline , Seaton is just three miles away from the popular and historic harborside town of Looe , and a stone ’ s throw away from the bright lights of Plymouth . Thanks to its tucked away position , Seaton ’ s calmer waters are most-favoured by sailors , wild swimmers , and paddle boarders .
