What We Say

An inspirational New England–style residence, offering an elegant yet contemporary interpretation of this much-loved architectural style. The house is defined by its vast picture windows, which flood the interiors with natural light while framing breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. This idyllic setting makes it perfectly suited to equestrian enthusiasts, dog walkers and those who value an active outdoor lifestyle, with miles of scenic walking, riding and exercise routes on the doorstep.

What the Owners Say

We built New Farm to our exacting specifications, placing a strong emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency throughout. With exceptional levels of insulation and an efficient ground-source heating system, the house delivers outstanding performance while keeping running costs impressively low. The extremely spacious detached annexe/home office has been a wonderful asset, allowing our children to enjoy their own independent space while still remaining nearby. Now, as we look to downsize, we look forward to welcoming a new family who will be able to enjoy and appreciate this lovely home as much as we have.
