Estates & Country
A beautiful Village Farm House, Grade II Listed, covering almost 8,000 sq.ft in the heart of a quintessential Hampshire village.
Lyons+Sleeman+Hoare have always designed for country properties alongside our other work, and have a long track-record of very high quality works on historic buildings and special places: our work ranges from careful restorations to new-build design, and spanning from family homes to Country Estates, often working within National Parks, AONB’s and Conservation Areas.
With development phases spanning five Centuries, Village Farm House is both elegant and enigmatic all at once, with numerous wings and additions hiding surprises throughout its layout.
Our designers unstitched less successful 1960’s alterations within the house as well as rectifying major challenges to the survival of older fabric; reinstatement of appropriate staircases and lost fireplaces, and removal of 20th C subdivisions have all contributed to a new functional layout for the house. Working from concept through Planning, Tender and Technical stages, a wonderful new home has been created with top-to-bottom refurbishment of structural elements giving a family home a grand new lease of life.
Lyons+Sleeman+Hoare have been working with a number of Country Estates from private individual interests, to long-established commercial concerns, incorporating all manner of uses from leisure to hospitality, sporting, racing, museums, retail and others.
