Location: Hinton Ampner, Hampshire, England

Price: £6,250,000 (approximately $7,965,625 USD)

Architect: Robin Lee Architecture

Footprint: 8,444 square feet (seven bedrooms, seven baths)

From the Agent: "Close to the village and country estate of Hinton Ampner and the beautiful Georgian town of Alresford, lies Black House Farm. Built to a design by Robin Lee Architecture and shortlisted for a RIBA Regional Award, a meticulous renovation of a Grade II–listed 17th-century farmhouse has been met with the dramatic conversion of an adjacent 19th-century threshing barn and farmyard. The combination is a house of distinct refinement, linked by a contemporary structure of rare lateral scale and volume, set in almost 20 acres of private fields, wildflower meadows, and working agricultural landscapes."

Located at the end of a woodland road, the estate is positioned so that the original 17th-century farmhouse sits at the forefront, beside the modern addition.

A striking black addition connects the two original structures. "This design consolidates and extends the two into one magnificent home while also reestablishing the original form of the farmstead to create a central courtyard," notes the listing agency.
