This project transformed a seventeenth-century Category B listed farmhouse and steading range into a comfortable and contemporary family home. The work included the careful conservation and re-instatement of historic elements, notably the original tower house and mill wheel, both integral to the site’s heritage.

New accommodation was sensitively introduced within the existing steading buildings, connected by lightweight architectural elements designed to minimise intervention and preserve the overall integrity of the courtyard. Alterations to the steading fabric were limited, prioritising the retention of its character and spatial arrangement.

The resulting residence balances dignity with practicality, providing modern living spaces within a historic setting. The project exemplifies how thoughtful adaptation can extend the life and use of important rural buildings while respecting their architectural and cultural significance.
