This 16th-century farmhouse, extended with a sympathetic oak-framed addition, presented a unique opportunity to blend historical charm with contemporary design. The challenge was to create a seamless transition between the old and new sections of the house while maximising the stunning countryside views.

To achieve a harmonious blend, we selected a colour palette of blues, grays, yellows, and oranges, complemented by soft neutrals. This palette not only enhances the natural light but also creates a warm and inviting atmosphere year-round. A recurring hexagonal motif, seen in the terracotta hallway tiles, reupholstered chairs, and window treatments, adds a sense of unity and visual interest, tying the different elements of the house together.

The use of wide oak boards throughout the house, both in the original and new sections, further strengthens the connection between the old and new. This timeless material adds warmth and character to the space, while also providing a durable and stylish flooring solution.

The new oak-framed extension houses the kitchen, kitchen snug, and master bedroom suite. These spaces are filled with natural light, thanks to large windows that frame the picturesque countryside views. The kitchen, a hub of activity, is designed for both practicality and style. It features a mix of modern appliances and traditional cabinetry, creating a harmonious blend of old and new. The kitchen snug, a cozy retreat, is perfect for relaxing with a book or enjoying a quiet moment. The master bedroom suite is a luxurious sanctuary, complete with a spacious en-suite bathroom and a dressing room.

By carefully considering the unique features of the farmhouse and the client's lifestyle, we were able to create a stunning family home that respects its heritage while embracing modern comforts. This project demonstrates how historic buildings can be adapted to contemporary living without compromising their original character.
