Devon Farmhouse Extension

Clients Penny and Robert bought a beautiful two-storey stone farmhouse on Dartmoor in Devon and wanted a large, glazed living space as an addition to the building.

“We were looking for an innovatively designed natural structure that would sit perfectly nestled in the hillside at the back of our newly renovated 1865 stone farmhouse,” says Penny. “We wanted a design that complemented the original stone building while creating a different look and feel. We felt a timber structure would meld both old and new and formal and informal perfectly.”

The oak framed structure has two gable ends and sling braces. It has been designed to work as two separate spaces with a double-sided wood burner in the middle of the room or as a single space as required.

“The oak frame extension more than meets our expectations,” say Penny and Robert. “The innovative design and the sheer pleasure of seeing the beautiful oak structure with sweeping arches and columns combined with the extensive glass panels and doors creates a magical view from both inside the room and outside.”
