Architect gets go-ahead for farmhouse redevelopment

Matthew Montague Architects is celebrating after securing planning permission for the redevelopment of a former farmhouse complex.

The redevelopment of The Beeches, at Bradbourne, includes the creation of four new dwellings through the conversion and reconstruction of existing barns, alongside the replacement of the original farmhouse with a bespoke new home.

Working in collaboration with Planning & Design Practice, which led the planning strategy, Matthew Montague Architects has developed a design that blends traditional rural architecture with contemporary living.

Paul Myers, architect at Matthew Montague, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to breathe new life into a rural site with deep heritage.

“Our approach balances tradition and modernity—preserving what’s important while allowing the buildings to serve a new purpose.

“It’s great to see The Beeches move forward as a model of sensitive rural regeneration.”
