The plan for this dreamy home in the village of Temple Ewell secured recent approval from Dover District Council. It was a commission for Jonathan Burlow Architects which is based in Folkestone. The riverside village of Temple Ewell, which is three miles from Dover, is known for its gorgeous parks and gardens, with the refurbished a sheer delight to visit all year round.
