The existing house on this site in Hampshire dates from the early 20th century and may have originally been a pair of cottages. However, it had only been used only used as a weekend home by its former owners and had previously undergone alterations and extensions that have significantly changed its character and appearance. In particular, an unsightly conservatory had been added over the original external entrance at the western side of the property, and a series of single storey utility and garage extensions had been built to the north. Consequently, the current building has no visual or architectural merit.

The new owners of the property employed Robert Adam Architects to design a new family home for the site. The building was designed as a low-key regency style house with lime rendered walls and small paned sash window openings, under a shallow pitched, natural slate, hipped roof. The western side of the building has a symmetrical two-storey elevation with slightly projecting wings to the north and south whilst the remaining elevations are asymmetrical and less formal in appearance. The South elevation contains the new front door, framed by a metal trellised porch and surmounted by a copper Trafalgar canopy.

The project also comprises a new brick and timber garage structure with a plain clay-tile roof and half hipped gable ends, to suggest a simple agriculture building. The existing gardens will also undergo refurbishment transforming the site from one of neglect to the location of a modern and comfortable family home.
