This new farmhouse sits in the open countryside in nine acres of farmland, part of which has been transformed into a wonderful garden. It replaces an existing dwelling and unifies the design in an appropriate way with the adjacent, recently reconstructed barns. The design of the house is inspired by Breton architecture and features substantial stone buttresses and an apse like front with slate cut to the curved slope of the roof. It is constructed from local coursed limestone with bronze window frames. Sizeable oak trusses have been used in parts of the house and annexes and the finishes are of the highest quality. The workmanship, carried out by our client, is superb in every respect. The accommodation comprises 7,000 sq ft of living space over three floors and includes six bedrooms and six bathrooms, large family areas and a games room. Another 2,500 sq ft of accommodation is provided in the annexes. The house was the winner of the LABC Building Excellence Awards 2010.
