Building a brand new home outside the development boundary can be tricky, but not unheard of. This may need to be a rural workers dwelling, linked to the farm business with an agricultural tie. Proof will be required to pass both the ‘functional’ and ‘financial’ tests to demonstrate the rural business is viable and the provision of a new house is needed for the success of the business.
New or replacement agricultural tied dwellings for farm owners, workers accommodation or farm manager’s dwellings are also likely to be subject to a number of planning use restrictions.
Our team of Architects specialise in rural architecture, bringing a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities presented by farmhouse design. Whether you’re replacing an existing home, extending or completely renovating a rundown building, our work caters to traditional farmhouse styles and contemporary rural living.
Our Architects work closely with you to incorporate your ideas, ensuring that the final design is a true reflection of your dreams and requirements. Your vision, preferences, and lifestyle aspirations are integral to the design process.
Beyond aesthetics, we prioritise functionality and sustainability. Our farm house designs seamlessly integrate with the surrounding environment while optimising the use of space and resources. We prioritise sustainability and energy efficiency to create homes that are both beautiful and sustainable, ensuring they stand the test of time.
