The Builder
Highfield (Cumbria) Ltd is a small family firm that builds a limited number of ‘one-off’ houses within the Lake District in Cumbria. Some examples of the company’s previous builds can be seen in the photographs attached. The location of their sites is most important to the company, which, along with the use of traditional local materials and craftsmen combined with modern ‘green’ technologies, has enabled them to produce these individual homes of exceptional quality.
