Combe Farm

Combe Farm is a carefully crafted two-storey extension to a traditional farmhouse, set within East Devon’s protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The project enhances the home’s functionality and character while maintaining a deep respect for its rural and agricultural context.

Clad in natural slate and warm cedar timber, the extension complements the textures of surrounding farm buildings while delivering a refined, modern aesthetic. The architecture prioritises natural light, panoramic views, and garden connection—creating a light-filled, landscape-led home tailored to contemporary family life.
