We are delighted to report the completion of 2 exquisite listed barn conversions situated in a quaint village within a rural agricultural landscape.

One of the listed barns dates from circa 1690 and both feature examples of long forgotten construction methods; one cruck framed and the other box framed. These construction methods span almost 500 hundred years, from a cruck frame possibly dating from the 16th century, through to box framed walls of late 17th to early 18th century and on into the 20th century.

We worked with specialists, surveyors and engineers, initially recording the historic elements of the buildings, and then in conjunction with our specialist consultants, proposed ways to repair and strengthen the existing structures and introduce new floors and roofs to convert the delightful but currently woeful barns into stunning heritage homes.

Having fallen into dereliction, the barns have been lovingly renovated by a specialist developer and the transformation is breath taking. Unique original characteristics have been showcased and contrasted with high end modern aesthetics.

If you have a derelict or dilapidated barn that would potentially be ripe for conversion, get in touch and we can explore the options open to you.
