Devon Farmhouse in southwest England

In the heart of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Woldon created a replacement farmhouse, designed sensitively to its surroundings and built to stand the test of time. The former residential property was a tired building, with poor circulation and extensions unfit for purpose.

The client brief was to deliver a space which allowed for large, connected family spaces thought out, farm office facilities, connections with an ease of flow, and windows to embrace the surrounding landscape.

Woldon’s new design features a two-winged property linked by a barn-like central structure that frames panoramic views of the countryside and coastline. The home’s expanded footprint accommodates an extended family, offering, effortless flow around a circular monastic route, connecting all principal ground floor rooms.

Clear visual and physical connection and access between bedrooms, each with contemporary en-suite bathrooms and dressing areas. A striking double-height living space serves as the heart of the home, perfect for family gatherings and socializing around the central fireplace.

“Set within an expansive agricultural landholding, the property is designed to embrace the beauty of the landscape.”

Set within an expansive agricultural landholding, the property is designed to embrace the beauty of the landscape, with sheltered areas for enjoying sunsets and sunny afternoons.

Additional features include a swimming pool and tennis court, all aligned with farm diversification policies. The masterplan not only modernizes the home but also highlights the potential for thoughtful rural development.
