Modern Barn Conversions
Barns, whether historic or new, weren’t built for comfort. They often need a lot of work to turn them into habitable spaces. Conversions lend themselves particularly well to designs with mezzanine floors, vaulted ceilings and large windows. These are all coveted characteristics that look very beautiful.
You can expect outstanding barn conversions from us. We always work to the highest of standards and offer solutions for block, brick, timber, stone and cob barns. Whether you’d like to convert a barn for extra living space, holiday lets, offices, studios or workshops, we can meet your requirements.

Barn Conversion Planning Permission
In 2014, an extension to development rights was made to allow agricultural properties – including barns – to be converted into residential houses (Class Q). Before this you had to apply for full planning permission. This allowance is not guaranteed for all barn conversions. Specific regulations must be met in each circumstance, so there’s a chance that the rights may not apply to your project. We can give you appropriate advice and support throughout the process. Feel free to get in touch with us today so you can get some more information.
