This luxury energy efficient home comes with its own gym and landscaped garden - and has been specifically designed to be kind to the environment.

Castara, in Lower Bourne, was built in 2007 and in 2012 was on the front cover of the Daily Telegraph’s ‘Luxury Homes’ magazine, and features plenty of windows, giving the appearance that the house is made of glass.

Roger Wade, Director of Strutt & Parker Farnham, said: “Designed by Peter Huf, chief architect at renowned HUF HAUS, Castara is a unique house which combines striking design with sustainability.

“Thanks to high-spec features, such as triple glazing and a layered insulated roof, it’s incredibly energy efficient and has a high EPC rating – which is unsurprisingly a growing concern for many buyers.

“Our latest research found that 67% of people say it’s important their future home is environmentally friendly, so having a property which already ticks the eco boxes is a real selling point.

“The house’s position in Lower Bourne is also hugely appealing as the village is so well serviced, with its own local store, doctor’s surgery, vets, pubs and nursery schools.

“There’s a charming village green just a couple of minutes’ walk from Castara which has a children’s playground and tennis courts, and Bourne Woods is on your doorstep too.

“The home’s proximity to Farnham – less than two miles away – is a bonus both for easy access to wider amenities and good connectivity. Farnham train station has regular trains to other towns in Surrey and London Waterloo.”
