Sleepy Hollow is a private residence located in Castle Hill, Prestbury, Chesire, England, and designed by The Cave. The home overlooks a vast green lawn, and its interior is spacious and bright.
The property was orientated on site to take advantage of the solar path. This provided a desirable south facing rear aspect, and harnesses the Sun’s free energy supply to reduce reliance on artificial light and heat provision during daylight hours. The walls appear to extend out of the ground and anchor the building to its landscape suggesting longevity. They delineate routes and paths through the property and provide a structure on which to hang the contemporary elements. Five en-suite bedrooms are offered alongside a study, formal lounge, statement dining hall and an open plan kitchen, breakfast room and family room. All of these spaces benefit from light and space and are suited to everyday living. The lower ground floor is permitted the least amount of light making it the perfect location for the home cinema and walk-in wine cellar. The games room, gym, steam room and swimming pool are also located here, the latter with sliding glass doors to a terrace that benefits from the midday sun.
