The present owners acquired the land back in 1998 and since then have worked hard to create this exciting and unique opportunity. Lorieneen, the house itself, was completed in 1998 as a low impact, energy efficient family home which was positively received and presented with an exceptional quality and design award for sustainability and RICS Building Efficiency Award, both in 1999.
