Someone please invite me into this house!
This home in Monks Kirby was built in 2002 replacing (with permission) a Grade II Listed building. For you thatched roof lovers, the thatch over the windows is called 'eyebrow dormers'. The turret is a staircase tower apparently leading up to a galleried balcony which overlooks a show-piece dining hall. Oh gosh, it sounds amazing.
Here is the full view below. Thanks to a planning permission application (which is a public document), I was able to get a little information about this home. Looks like work is under way.
And, the house next door? Another thatch!

I can see why they were persuaded to allow them to replace the original building. This looks like a lot of thought and effort was taken in the design and building. I just wish that more thought like this was put in before many of our current construction projects were started.
I love your series! I hope you get to visit the house. What a treat!
Ooh, thank you for this series! I've a soft spot for thatched roofs, of course:) I love that "eyebrow" term, I can only imagine how sumptuous the inside must look.
(I thought you might recognize the Hawaiian flag:)

So true, Paul.
Now that is one great looking home!
I stayed on the Isle of Wight many moons ago and remember being in awe of the thatched roofs. Thanks for reminding me of them.
I live in this house :o)
And yes the spiral Staircase does lead to a galleried balcony.
Clayton - How fabulous for you. It is a beautiful place and I admire it every time I pass by.
And I was the original owner. By the way nice addition Clayton
