Located on a working farm in the quiet village of Redbourne, this project was centred around creating a bespoke, independent dwelling for the landowner.

The goal was to provide a high-end, separate home on the family estate, just a stone's throw from the original farmhouse. One of the most rewarding aspects of this build was the great working relationship we maintained with the client. Working collaboratively, we integrated his deep knowledge of the land and materials into the very fabric of the building.

Reclaimed Craftsmanship:

To ensure the new home sat naturally within its agricultural setting, we took a truly "circular" approach to the materials:

  • The Brickwork: We meticulously mixed and laid over 30 pallets of reclaimed bricks that the farmer had salvaged from old farm buildings over the decades. This resulted in a stunning, authentic "reclaimed" finish that a modern brick simply couldn't replicate.
  • Bespoke Timber Details: In the open-plan living area, we installed waney-edged timber slabs. These organic features were chosen to "bring the outside in," echoing the natural landscape just beyond the glass.

Architectural Highlights:

The design balances traditional farmhouse style with clever modern functionality:

Character features such as a signature porthole window on the second storey add a unique architectural touch to the gable end.

The living spaces were oriented to provide perfect views over the surrounding fields where the family's cows graze, creating a peaceful, pastoral atmosphere.

We installed two separate staircases, removing the need for a traditional loft hatch and providing effortless, permanent access to the upper levels of the space.

Outbuildings & Landscaping:

The project extended to a substantial quadruple garage, finished in modern composite cladding for a low-maintenance, sharp aesthetic. We also completed all external works, ensuring the new home was fully integrated into the farm's existing infrastructure.

Builder's Note:

"This project wasn't just about building a house; it was about honouring the history of the farm. Using the farmer's own saved bricks meant every wall has a story to tell."
