The Barn was built in 1715 as a typical threshing barn with two large cart doors that also helped to blow the chaff from the wheat. In 2010/11 the barn and the cart lodge were incorporated to make one modern dwelling and the structure was carefully restored by the current owners, (well, Tony, really), using as much as possible of the original building and keeping the large scale of the barn; there are partially retained double height roof voids, making for wonderful light and airy spaces with the original exposed old roof beams in the bedrooms and the construction wooden “knees” still bearing their oak bark. In the build we used modern environmentally thoughtful technologies, such as ground source for the underfloor heating, and recovered rain water for the toilets. The styling is contemporary and kept deliberately simple and uncluttered.

Originally built in 1715 as a typical threshing barn, in 2010 the owners have lovingly converted into a stunning home, with underfloor heating, and amazing views across the fields
