The new contemporary extension in timber and glass is at the heart of the project that aims to revitalize this historic structure, even while preserving its original aura and creating interiors that stay true to the rustic backdrop! Set in an idyllic 60-acre valley, the new building acts as a transitional zone between the original farmhouse and the converted bar.18th century Dartmoor farmstead revamped into contemporary family homeThe changeover from the old to the new is stark and yet seamless with the stone walls slowly giving way to large glass walls and a timber structure.
