A stone farmhouse in the English countryside

Posted on Wed, 8 Jan 2025 by KiM

Blank Slate was appointed to oversee the modernization and complete refurbishment of a quintessential, stone farmhouse set in the English countryside. Bari and her team sympathetically stripped the property back, preserving the original structure, and everything they added matched the house’s history and unique character. Material selection was crucial for this project—sourcing new oak beams to match the original ones, and adding open joists throughout the new extension to make the new build feel less new. They installed character-grade oak floors in creamy tones of shale, limed and smoked, cobbles for the boot room and utility, and limestone checkerboard tiles in the entry hall to give it a reclaimed and found feel. Blank Slate moved the entrance to the center, creating perfect symmetry and a large open reception area with a bespoke staircase featuring large curved steps at the base. Bari added rich marble to each of the bathrooms, creating feature showers in both the family bathroom and the en-suite. As a result, the Wiltshire Farmhouse project is a calm haven with a neutral palette of earthy tones and layered textures, embodying the Blank Slate approach perfectly.
Quite literally my dream home. This is perfect in every way. I’d just add a smidge more colour and pattern and happily live here for the rest of my days. (I’m going to be dreaming about that limestone checkerboard entry for the rest of my days)
