Casa Alder
Hillcrest
€ 1,450,000
A timber and stone family house around a planted courtyard, with long south-west light and a west terrace made for dinners.
A house that holds the evening light
Casa Alder sits at the quiet end of Hillcrest, set back from the lane behind an old dry-stone wall. The architect wrapped the house in vertically laid larch that has already softened to silver at the corners, and turned every main room towards the south-west.
Inside, the ground floor is one long room in oiled oak: kitchen at the courtyard end, a low living space by the glazing and a dining table that comfortably seats ten. Four bedrooms sit upstairs, the main one with a deep window seat looking over the bay.
What we noticed
The terrace catches sun until nine in summer. The courtyard planting needs almost no water. And the walk to the bay takes ten minutes, downhill all the way.
