Completed contemporary rural home at Greenmeadow Quarry Farm

A contemporary countryside home inspired by agricultural forms.

The completed dwelling realises the original design vision through a restrained palette of natural timber cladding, standing-seam metal roofing and extensive glazing. Its simple gabled composition responds to the rural setting while creating a distinctive, high-quality family home.

The opportunity

Re-use a previously developed rural site to create a carefully considered home.

The application strategy is centred on removing an existing agricultural building and presenting a replacement dwelling that responds to the site's rural setting, topography, access and neighbouring properties.

Site evidence

Understanding the existing farmstead and its landscape context.

The drawing package records the site's location, agricultural buildings, established access, level changes and relationship with Great Moor Cottages.

Design evolution

Residential scheme studies

The additional scheme drawings record an earlier two-dwelling design study for the wider site. They are presented as part of the project's design evolution and demonstrate how alternative forms, layouts and levels were tested before the current replacement-dwelling brief.

The brief

To prepare a replacement dwelling application following demolition of an existing agricultural building at Greenmeadow Quarry Farm, adjacent to Great Moor Cottages.

Site constraints

The site requires careful consideration of countryside planning policy, existing access, land levels, mature vegetation, neighbouring properties and the nearby watercourse.

Planning strategy

The planning case focuses on the previously developed character of the farmstead, removal of utilitarian agricultural fabric and the opportunity to deliver a high-quality dwelling with an improved relationship to the rural landscape.

Design response

The replacement dwelling should be informed by agricultural forms, restrained materials and landscape integration, with scale and massing carefully controlled in views from Great Moor Road and surrounding properties.

Project status

The current website brief is for demolition of an existing agricultural building and a replacement dwelling. The additional 2019 drawings are retained as design-evolution material and show an earlier two-dwelling residential option; they are not presented as the current submitted scheme.
