The stansfield estate is located in the upper Roch Valley by the foothills of the South Pennines near the small town of Littleborough.
The area benefits from extensive views from elevated locations in all directions. The estate itself is laid out in a horse shoe shape and encloses itself from the surrounding landscape.
The focus is to borrow elements from the surrounding landscape and to frame key views.
