HARBOUR FARM
A historic Sussex farmstead transformed
A careful balance of tradition and innovation.
Harbour Farm, a historic farmstead located in Bosham, Sussex, combines preservation of the site’s historical elements with thoughtful enhancements to create an elegant, modern family home in this picturesque harbour setting.
Design that respects the protected natural landscape.
The design incorporates a number of sustainable elements, in line with the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) guidelines. These include energy efficient materials, solar panels, and a redesigned lighting plan to minimise light pollution. Native planting and mature trees will provide natural screening for privacy and ensure minimal impact on views from surrounding areas, including the Dell Quay Conservation Area.
We are making sensitive changes to the main house and surrounding outbuildings.
Modern extensions will be removed to reveal the original architectural elements of the farmhouse. New, more sympathetic additions include a single-storey west wing and a two-storey south wing that respect the historical character of the site. We are also transforming the outbuildings into a pool house, art studio, and gym barn, with new landscaping that aligns with the farm’s traditional courtyard layout.
