Real Homes: Extended Slackwood Farm

Having once been a building at risk, Slackwood Farm in Lancashire has, under its new owners and a team of architects, become a sight to behold, thanks in part to a strikingly modern curved glass extension

Hunkered down on a hillside in Lancashire, a contemporary glazed circular extension to a listed seventeenth-century farmhouse has landed as lightly as a rarely sighted bittern in the Leighton Moss nature reserve it overlooks. Slackwood Farmhouse was on the English Heritage (now Historic England) Heritage at Risk Register when birdwatchers Angela and Adrian Waddingham bought it five years ago. Living in London - where Adrian is a consultant actuary and was, until 2014, Sheriff of the City - the couple planned to use it as a holiday home before eventually retiring to Lancashire.
