outlying farmhouses are of local golden-brown sand-stone/ragstone with chip stone pointing, slate or clay tile roofs, large brick chimneys and small casement windows.
House roofs should be steep-pitched (47-50 degrees) and tiled with one-third/one-quarter hips at the ridge and tile-hung upper walls. Dormers should be kept small, and where renovation or extension are being carried out, brick chimneys should be retained.
Boundaries should ideally be of local stone or indigenous hedges (not woven timber panels), while gardens should aim to retain and enhance the features of the countryside - with use of mixed hedges, indigenous trees, ponds and local stone.
