The dramatic, rugged landscape of the Dartmoor National Park is the perfect location for a beautiful family home. The 19th century estate of West Yard Farm has recently been fully renovated in a more contemporary style, creating a comfortable living space that pays great respect to its own history.
The overhaul of this property involved combining the farmhouse and the attached barn with a stylish glass walkway, giving the exterior of the building the contemporary makeover it needed. The glass extension also made space for a new kitchen and living area, which means the original stone structure could house the more traditional dining room and the four bedrooms.
Many of the building’s original features have been retained, including beautiful stone walls and an inglenook fireplace. But the stylish new additions have been deemed sensitive and sympathetic to the building’s original structure and form, bringing a historic building back to life and ensuring it will remain a part of this famous landscape for decades.
