Farfield - V200E - Composite Windows UK

Featuring on both the front cover of the August 2024 issue of Self Builder and Homemaker Magazine and in the March 2023 issue of Grand Designs magazine, Farfield is a contemporary transformation of a dated, 1960’s bungalow.

Designed by Paul Cashin Architects and built by Westcott Construction, this breath-taking project is situated in South Downs National Park.

The Farfield House project has completely transformed an existing 1960’s bungalow. By extending and redeveloping the original building it has been possible to create an architecturally stunning four bedroom modern home, totally unrecognisable from the original.

Paul Cashin says “Through careful analysis, it was possible to reuse the building, making alternations to the structure which has totally reimagined it, whilst also offering a sustainable and cost-effective solution for this build project. ”

The existing gabled roof was removed from the house and adjacent garage and replaced with a striking flat roof across the entire dwelling. By upgrading the glazing to the VELFAC 200E system, the slim frame enhances the amount of natural light into the home and expands the surrounding views of the National Park. A VELFAC RIBO entrance door was chosen for its’ cotemporary style and high performance features. When paired with VELFAC windows, they create a uniform aesthetic.

Additional space was created through a partial first floor extension. To take advantage of the views available, the living space and a generous open planned kitchen have been located upstairs, with all sleeping accommodation on the ground floor. To minimise the effects of solar gain in warmer months a Brise Soliel is placed over the large, south facing windows on the first floor.

What Our Clients Say

Lance, Farnham

I had 18 windows and doors replaced with Rationel and Westcott Construction were the recommended supplier. Josie was very helpful while we got the exact specification sorted out, and was always quick to reply on email. The fitters were very friendly and helpful, and the attention to detail was excellent. Everyone turned up when they said they would and completed the job on time. This is a very well organised company who it has been a pleasure to work with.

Alistair, Haywards Heath

What makes this company stand out is outstanding customer service from start to finish. I had VELFAC 200 Energy windows installed for a new self-build so attention to detail was paramount. Composite Windows came to site multiple times before, during and after fitting to ensure the product was perfect. When one of the larger units was difficult to close, they sent their engineers to adjust it but still determined it wasn’t perfect, so replaced the entire unit. Its the service we all would hope companies strive to deliver but we typically settle for less. Composite windows really did deliver on my project. They have a great team in the office and at site. I would definitely use them in subsequent projects.

Kevin, Dorchester

Had VELFAC windows and doors fitted recently on a project by Composite Windows UK. Great company to deal with. Very helpful in the ordering process and the fitters were a pleasure to deal with. No hesitation in using and them again.
