A contemporary one-off house design realised using traditional materials, this four bedroom new build family home with views across the New forest national park, makes the most of its setting amidst fields and woodland. Characterful features include steeply pitched roofs, tiled gables, patterned brickwork, an expressive veranda, prominent chimney, and thoughtfully proportioned windows framing views of the treeline. A new complimenting outbuilding houses a double garage, home gym and office. Replacing a low quality farm house, dilapidated stables and other outbuildings, the new structures have been re-orientated to create better connection with the surrounding landscape and benefit from a high level of natural daylight. Sustainable features include a fabric first approach to design including high performance insulation, triple glazed windows, photovoltaic solar panels, batteries, MVHR systems, and an air source heat pump.
