Pennine Farm
Pennine Farmhouse is a Grade II listed home on the edge of Heptonstall, set across a series of buildings that step down toward a generous garden and far-reaching views. Previously underused, the barn and ancillary spaces were cold and disconnected from daily life.
The project reorients the home toward the south-facing garden, bringing these spaces into meaningful use. A new semi-glazed link forms a clear circulation spine, stitching the buildings together and improving flow throughout.
Bedrooms occupy the upper level of the ancillary building, while below, the plan opens into a new garden room with kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The barn’s volume is retained and upgraded, with a suspended joinery studio inserted beneath its roof, drawing light from the original Palladian window.
A careful transformation—turning a fragmented historic property into a cohesive, characterful home designed for modern living.
