Nether Failford is the careful conversion of the Netherfield Coach House, a building historically used by coachmen, into a luxury private residence. The brief asked us to retain the character and presence of the original outbuilding while quietly reworking it into a refined family home.

The works were extensive. Substantial stone repairs and a full programme of roof works were undertaken, with original natural slate carefully salvaged and reset alongside new where required. Inherited masonry, openings and details were protected throughout, so that the building’s history continues to read clearly across the finished home.

Inside, the property was upgraded to a contemporary luxury standard. A biomass heating system was installed alongside a significantly improved thermal envelope, lifting comfort and energy performance well beyond the original building, while the interior finishes were detailed to keep the salvaged materials and original fabric firmly in the foreground.
