Eric Davis of Erkel Architects — identified by the exact-property publisher feature and matched planning record
Aveno permanent dossier · published 6 Sep 2026
Belle Vista
West Hill, Wraxall, Somerset
Independent reading
A 6,500 sq ft carbon-negative hillside house by Eric Davis of Erkel Architects, with a charred-larch envelope, double-height picture window, sculptural stair, five principal suites, an 800 sq ft covered terrace and a separate studio annexe.
Belle Vista clears the Pavello benchmark emphatically: it is a coherent, site-specific contemporary composition rather than a conventional house with a modern finish. Every principal room opens to a terrace, balcony or garden; the two-storey hall, changing Shou Sugi Ban skin and stacked hillside plan give the house a clear architectural identity. The £577/sq ft headline is consistent with the stated £3.75m and 6,500 sq ft, but the measurement boundary is not signed and may blend circulation or ancillary space. Treat the carbon-negative and EPC claims as attributed until the certificate, commissioning data and measured import/export history are supplied.

Identity confidence98%
Belle Vista, West Hill, Wraxall, North Somerset
ByDesign's live original instruction identifies Belle Vista at West Hill, Wraxall, BS48 and supplies a £3.75m guide, six bedrooms, six bathrooms, 6,500 sq ft, EPC A (95), 13.2 kW solar array, air-source heat pump, four-car garage and 430 sq ft annexe. Rightmove repeats the same live instruction. The Luxury Home Show's exact-property feature and working film name Belle Vista, Wraxall and match the hillside composition, charred-larch envelope, double-height two-storey window, floating stair, 800 sq ft covered terrace, five principal suites, annexe and garage. A planning record also identifies Belle Vista, West Hill, BS48 1PL and agent Eric Davis. The rare facts make the identity join exceptionally strong, but the official title and UPRN remain buyer-side.

- ByDesign's live original instruction offers Belle Vista at £3.75m with a current viewing route, detached freehold form, six bedrooms, six bathrooms, three receptions and about 6,500 sq ft.
- The current instruction attributes EPC A (95), an A/100 environmental score, 13.2 kW solar array, air-source heat pump, underfloor heating, rainwater harvesting, two EV chargers and net -1.0 tonnes CO2 a year.
- The architecture includes a double-height hall, two-storey picture window, floating oak-effect porcelain and glass stair, Shou Sugi Ban larch, broad south-facing glazing and direct outdoor access from every principal room.
- Five main bedroom suites, a circa 750 sq ft kitchen/living room, triple-aspect sitting room, garden-level games room and circa 800 sq ft covered terrace form the principal accommodation.
- A detached four-car garage sits above a separate circa 430 sq ft one-bedroom studio annexe; the listing's sixth bedroom and sixth bathroom counts appear to include this annexe.
- The Luxury Home Show's exact-property feature and working film identify Belle Vista, Wraxall and Eric Davis of Erkel Architects and match the current listing's distinctive design and specification.
- The current listing states Council Tax Band B. That is unusually low for the marketed asset and must not be used as a settled charge without an authority record and annexe assessment.
Investigate next
- Obtain the official title register and plan, UPRN and complete West Hill access, boundary, covenant, easement, woodland, service and private-drainage position; reconcile the 2021 Belle Vista planning record with the finished three-level building.
- Retrieve the complete design-and-build archive: planning permissions, condition discharges, Building Control completion, structural and retaining-wall design, fire strategy, glazing, terraces, garage/annexe, drainage and pool-enabling works, warranties and professional appointments.
- Commission a signed RICS component measurement separating principal habitable space, annexe, garage, plant, terraces, voids and circulation within or outside the 6,500 sq ft total and reconciling the five-suite/six-bedroom presentation.
- Obtain the EPC certificate, SAP/operational assumptions, 36 months of electricity import/export and solar generation, heat-pump and underfloor-heating commissioning, private treatment-plant records, water use, insurance and maintenance invoices.
