modern rural lifestyle

While city studio flats have become popular in recent years, it has often seemed that this style was not suitable for the countryside. A rural home is characterised by a picturesque cottage with small windows and a stone façade.

Yet it is in the countryside that we should want timber floors, high volumes and large areas of glazing. Why not flood the house with light, watch the weather from behind a large glazed door, and observe the landscape change with the seasons? Our houses are for people who share these aspirations.

But a modern rural lifestyle is about more than living in a beautiful house in a stunning setting. It's about interacting with the community and involvement in local groups. It's about your place of work. It's about entertaining friends and making new ones.
