Judges Clive Barrington and Mike Idiens said they were impressed by the commitment, skills and passion shown by the building team.
"This amazing home, in its magical setting, definitely deserved the award. From the oversized front door to the stonework, and other clever details, not a single detail was overlooked."
The home showed the project team had a strong relationship which the judges believed helped to create the remarkable result.
