This is a listed farmhouse and separately listed barn (in the centre of the site) which we are renovating and adding to the site with new buildings. The site is 1 acre in size and was the hub of a model farm in the C19th. When completed, the group of buildings will be occupied by people who require support staff to assist them, so will comprise a small community; the site is accessed for c 600m through a wood so feels isolated but is in fact close to a large town.

We have adopted a vernacular aesthetic for the new buildings, and a like-for-like repair to the existing buildings. There are historical precedents for the appearance we have given the new buildings in estate farmsteads in this county and elsewhere, which serves to justify the increase in density on the site. The placing of buildings has been governed partly by their relationship to the listed structures. The barn has deteriorated and now requires significant intervention to make good of use of it once again.
