Private housing & steading conversion

Kilconquhar Mains Farm

Located beside the village of Kilconquhar, MFA was appointed by a long standing client to provide both architectural and planning services for a proposed residential development at Kilconquhar Mains Farm.  

Planning permission was sought to convert the traditional steading buildings into 10 unique residential units as well as the erection of 3 new build dwellings on the footprint of a large unattractive agricultural shed.  As part of the proposed residential conversion, all of the traditional, stone built elements of the attractive steading were incorporated into the proposed scheme.  

Given the distinct opportunity for a high quality residential development of the original stone built steadings, MFA successfully argued that the removal of an unattractive modern agricultural shed, which was the most visible building from the the public road, and its replacement with 3 appropriately designed dwellings would secure significant wider landscape and visual benefits.  The architectural approach for the new builds was to reflect the development form of the conversion.  The properties are detached yet linked by one shared continuous slate roof with wet dash rendered walls and an attractive period detail to the projecting rear gable elevation.  These dwellings also incorporate air source heat pumps which deliver effective, low carbon heating and hot water.
