A Georgian Farmhouse in Hampshire

The front of the main house has a formal character, reflecting the evolution of many traditional farmhouses across Southern England where gentrification and rising affluence led to the addition of more formal and varied living accommodation to traditional farm holdings. Whilst, the rear section of the house is designed and detailed as a vernacular farmhouse constructed from brick and flint with a slate roof. The garage is designed to emulate an agricultural outbuilding.

Sited on what was once a poultry farm, this new-build traditional farmhouse replaces an unremarkable dwelling and an associated collection of agricultural buildings with a substantial new country house.

On approaching the property, the initial view is that of a formal Georgian home designed in the Doric order and finished in a light palette of pale render, dressed Portland Stone quoining, and sage-green window frames. Approaching from an angle, however, it is clear that this is a house of two parts. Behind the main section of the house, as a second wing, slightly lower and articulated in red-brick and flint-banding. This rear section of the house is designed and detailed as a vernacular farmhouse with a linear form and comparatively narrow depth. Similarly, the timber-clad garage is designed to emulate an agricultural outbuilding.
