Grange Farm is a family’s ‘forever home’ created from old and disused barns on a site that enjoys stunning all-round views across open countryside.
By keeping the simple, traditional lines of the former buildings it was possible to include large, glazed areas within the house that brought in significant amounts of light throughout.
The monopitch roofs to the barns became a key feature. Large open plan areas with extensive glazing throughout, including links within the house, resulted in large, airy spaces which make the most of the countryside views.
The alterations to the site to create the single storey family home have integrated neatly into the surrounding area and represent a stylish addition to the village.
The building sits on the original footprint of the old buildings and the height of the home is consistent with the former buildings and the roof angles have been kept as before.
The tiled floor throughout links all the areas of the home and allows light from the glazed areas to be reflected, changing the ambience in different weathers and at different times of day.
