Chaffcombe House

Completed late summer 2023

Extent: New build private 7 bedroom house including ancillary buildings

The original, undistinguished, late 19th century house on the site in South Somerset was destroyed in a fire in 2017.  A substantial replacement dwelling was designed by Ben Pentreath who asked us to take over the running of the project in 2021.

In the development of the detailed design drawings, we adapted the building further to create the impression of a building which had developed over a number of phases with a picturesque asymmetrical form.  This involved subsequent planning permission which was granted, and the construction started in 2022.  The finished building fits comfortably in its surroundings and its mature parkland setting with wonderful views out over the rolling landscape.  The house was completed in the late summer of 2023.
