The Guardian: Eco homes near the sea for sale in Great Britain – in pictures.

From a Grand Designs-style property nestled underground to a remote timber-framed home on a hillside.

'Barnstaple, Devon. From the air, a drone would only pick out the two Mediterranean-style patios – otherwise this Grand Designs-esque property is hidden under a blanket of green. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home was created from a Victorian underground water reservoir. Five arched glazed doors, framed in Marland brick, allow light to pour in to a collection of tunnel-shaped rooms with high ceilings. There is triple glazing and an air source heat pump. On top of a hill, the house has views of the estuary and the town and is seven miles from the sea.'

On the market with Jackson-Stops North Devon with a guide price of £825,000.
