It’s always nice when a satisfied client sends you photos of their completed project.

We designed this new farmhouse for a working farm in Northamptonshire, to take advantage of the client’s existing experience in other agricultural building projects. They had already installed their own ground source heat pump system, and built several barns, so the new farmhouse was designed to use a similar steel frame to a Dutch barn, although with some lean to additions. The client was then able to manage the build and the various trades themselves, using our technical package and support as needed.

The house provides four generous bedrooms, plenty of en-suite bathroom accommodation and open plan living and dining. It also incorporates an office and boot room for use as part of the daily running of the farm. The next project is to redevelop the old farmhouse as a holiday let, as part of the diverse portfolio of this rural family business.
