Ferne Park is a modest sized country house constructed in the English Palladian tradition, inspired by Came House near Dorchester. The entrance front has a central giant composite order and pediment; the garden front on the south side also has a central pediment but with a smaller Ionic doorcase. The front door leads into a large square hall with freestanding Doric columns. The house stands in a central position in a park, its four symmetrical elevations visible from all sides. It is built in Portland and Chilmark stone. It won the Georgian Group award for the Best Modern Classical House 2003.
