Farmhouse Extension Glazed Linked Annexe and Barn Conversion

As Featured on TV for Channel 4’s Extraordinary Extensions!

As featured on Channel 4’s “Extraordinary Extensions, Evenhay Farm near Ludlow is a stunning £250,000 ‘angular’ conversion of a three-bed Grade II listed 17th-century rural farmhouse and barn, featuring a new glass fronted annexe and glazed walkway.

 

The asymmetrical feature of the extension, created from larch cladding and a sedum roof compliment the old through references to the surrounding landscape. Mimicking that of the countryside surrounding the property allows the property to sit effortlessly in the landscape whilst also creating that wow factor.

The clients decided to move back to the area from Nottingham and had the vision to work with Alan Harris senior to turn the family home into a place where they could all live in and enjoy the stunning views.

 

Evenhay Farm, which is nestled just outside of Ludlow, was completed in two phases to ensure the family could remain on site during the complicated build.

The barn was the first task, with it taken down brick-by-brick, numbered and then rebuilt to create the new two-bed self-contained property with kitchen and living space that can be used by visitors or as a potential future Airbnb opportunity.

 

Once this was complete, then moved into the conversion to allow for the modernisation and extension of the main Grade II listed cottage.

 

This involved a considerable kitchen expansion and the creation of a glazed walkway that leads to the new, stunning annexe that is locally being referred to as ‘the ski slope’. Here there is a shower room, dedicated living space and a master bedroom, with the focus on delivering 270° views of the Herefordshire countryside.

Vic Johnson, founder of JDP said, “We’ve loved working on this project, a project that has taken a childhood home and transformed it into a property that allows the family to live together again and maximises its beautiful surroundings.”

 

The client concluded: “This is our dream home and Matt and the team have done a fantastic job listening to our vision and always putting our best interests at heart. We’re so proud of it and it’s great we’ve been able to share the construction of the project with Tinie Tempah and the team at Extraordinary Extensions.”

I have now been living for two years in a house designed by Johnson Partnership. Matt Spinks and his team were our main contacts and we were delighted in the way they handled and developed our brief. The test of course is whether the house works as a home in winter and summer. This Johnson design passes the test with flying colours: the house meets all of our requirements for a comfortable, warm, airy and modern home.

We engaged Johnson Design 4 years ago at the start of a big renovation and new build project. Matt Spinks has always taken our ideas or vague notions of an idea and turned them into something innovative which is both attractive and practical. We were delighted with the final plans which went straight through planning permission, even though part of the project was a Grade 2 listed renovation. As a project manager Matt has also been first rate and thoroughly supportive. We would not hesitate to recommend Johnson Design.

We would recommend Johnson Design for those wanting to extend their home. They came up with an original concept and layout, moving the stairs was something we’d not even considered but it works really well. They then worked with us to accommodate our ideas, making the design collaborative. They talked us through the various stages of the process and explained everything, also because they handled everything it meant we didn’t need to get involved with the complexities of the planning process.

Many thanks to Johnson Design for delivering exactly what we wanted: A bright, flexible, modern space which brings the garden and the lovely views of the upper Corvedale into our home, without losing anything of the character and warmth of our historic stone farmhouse. The family home of nearly 30 years has been greatly enhanced, giving a perfect blend of old and new, and the perfect venue for entertaining and family get-togethers. The extension was the proud focus for our wedding celebration and garden party for more than 100 guests over the Bank Holiday weekend, and bought in more admiring comments than we could count!

Our project was not the biggest in the whole grand scheme of things but Vic approached the design brief with enthusiasm and Matt guided us through the process, as project manager with patience and good advice. We were pleased that Johnsons Design Partnership are prepared to work on smaller projects as well as the bigger more flamboyant ones. We are really happy with the finished result.
