Restoring Heritage: Luxury Farmhouse Refurbishment at The Newt

This 14-month refurbishment project at Longbourn Farmhouse, The Newt in Somerset, transformed a dilapidated farmhouse into an exquisite, high-end retreat for a luxury hotelier. The Newt, renowned for its historic Georgian estate, apple orchards, and exceptional hospitality, required a meticulous approach to breathe new life into this characterful property.

Every detail was crafted to reflect the timeless elegance of The Newt, maintaining the charm of traditional Somerset architecture while incorporating the refined finishes and superior craftsmanship expected in an exclusive hospitality setting.

The works included:

Extensive structural and aesthetic restoration – transforming a neglected farmhouse into a luxury accommodation space.
Sympathetic heritage refurbishment – preserving original features while integrating high-end modern comforts.
Bespoke interior finishes – crafted to complement The Newt’s signature elegance, ensuring a seamless blend of tradition and sophistication.
Exterior enhancements – revitalising stonework, roofing, and windows to restore the farmhouse’s architectural beauty.
Luxury hospitality fit-out – creating an exceptional guest experience within an idyllic countryside retreat.

What Our Clients Say

Just to say how impressed we have been in the Nursing and Patient Care Directorate with Will and Nick’s work in moving furniture, fitting it in and sorting the layout out for us, they have taken great care are done an excellent job - thank you

On behalf of Somerset Primary Care Trust I would like to express my thanks for your assistance both prior to the Christmas period and over the Christmas period, by your company. I realise the period was the start of your Christmas shutdown period. Special thanks should go to your three operatives namely Lee, Robert and Will who were very helpful and I believe excellent ambassadors for your company. I would be grateful if my thanks could be passed on to them.

I would like to express my sincere thanks for your work your company carried out at this hospital, in particular the gentleman who arrived earlier this week to undertake last minute painting in readiness for our PEAT inspection. He was quick, extremely thorough and did a splendid job. Perhaps you would be kind enough to pass on my thanks to him.

Thought I should drop you a line to pass on my thanks from all staff at both Bridgwater and Burnham Hospitals to the Harris and Collard lads for all their hard work recently. Not only have they had to deal with the normal maintenance and minor works they have also helped to move several members of staff and offices from one area to another. They have had to deal with some staff who are really not happy about the moves but have always remained cheerful and flexible in their approach. It is really good to work with such helpful friendly people and I would like you to pass on our thanks from all of us at Bridgwater and Burnham Hospitals.

It was wonderful to be able to liaise with someone who was friendly and helpful throughout. We were happy to approach you, knowing that any minor problems would be addressed quickly
