This is the owner's house which was part of a project including stud racing horse stables. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the building is placed to take advantage of the fall in the land and to blend into the landscape. The main rooms are at a higher level to have views over existing stable complex and have access to the rear garden level. At the lower level is the entrance with a lift, car parking and a housekeepers room. Constructed of random sized Purbeck Stone laid with open joints under a slate roof which are local traditional materials. The design has simplistic elements to reflect farm building style though has a contemporary feel.
