Restoration of Hayes Farm Courtyard

Hayes Farm, a 100-acre livestock farm in Newent, undertook a restoration project to restore the courtyard to its former glory - parts of the farmhouse date back to the Domesday book but the original outbuildings were demolished by the previous owners. The new owners, Mr & Mrs Freeman, were keen to source materials and labour locally from a 10-mile radius of the farm. Forest Pennant Sandstone was the ideal choice for the outbuildings; the natural colour complemented the tones of the main building materials.
