Project Hayton Grange, Pocklington
Native secured planning for a replacement dwelling in Hayton, in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Planning Policy supports the replacement of dwellings which may be considered uninhabitable or past their useful life. The family owned working farm and the old farmhouse was too dilapidated to convert into a new farmhouse and farm office.
The new farm house was constructed in a sustainable way with a highly insulated timber frame clad with handmade bricks on a foundation with less concrete due to reinforcing fibres in the mix.
The design is simple and timeless with every room light and warm. The house was carefully integrated into the working farm layout in a traditional rural setting with an interior designed to be hard wearing and visually pleasing. The interior detailing in oak was consistent throughout for floors and all joinery. Triple glazed windows, passive ventilation, wood pellet boiler all combine to create a future proof new house with low running costs and high thermal performance.
The house provides a practical, comfortable and sustainable home for the whole family.
