Redevelopment of a derelict farm in Devon, including refurbishment of buildings and erection of modern facilities
In the first phase the lodge gatehouse was refurbished and extended by Harrison & Sutton Partnership. Solar evacuated tubes and a wood burning stove were linked to the hot water system.
In the second phase the farmhouse was completely gutted and enlarged to encompass the cottage and piggery to the rear. A new steel and glass entrance located on an historic route links the house and cottages.
In the third phase a new garden was created and the old access to the front of the house removed. In the fourth phase a new glasshouse was created to complete the garden works. In the fifth phase the old barns were converted into holiday apartments and an events hall.
