When it comes to design Amanda Coates is continually looking to the future, which is why her fabulous self-build home in Briggswath, near Whitby, is packed full of mod cons and energy-efficient features.

Grandeview, a 3,880 sq ft, four-bedroom property with sensational views, is on the market for £745,000 with Blenkin and Co. The reason Amanda and her husband, Tony, are selling is because they have the chance to build another home. “I love this house but I can’t resist the chance to build again. I should’ve been an architect,” says Amanda, a hairdresser who also helps run the family scaffolding business. The strikingly modern home is on a hillside and is set over four floors, and is packed with stand-out features.
