Project Description

Silwood Park Farm is situated in the grounds of the Silwood Park Estate in Sunninghill and is in the Green Belt.  The existing buildings are a complex of grade ll listed structures, built over time, physically linked, but in very poor condition and in part structurally unsafe.

The existing timber frame farmhouse building is thought, in part, to date back to the 17th Century and has been substantially extended and altered overtime.  The philosophy was to remove the poorly built 20th Century element in its entirety and to construct a new extension relating to the original section of the building.

The extension does not seek to replicate or copy the design of the existing but is rather a contemporary extension in an appropriate Arts & Crafts Style.
