Barn conversions - more space for your money
Who doesn’t love a barn conversion?
What do you see when you think of a barn conversion? Rural location, rustic stone walls, striking weathered timber, a beautiful cottage garden?
Character and charm mix with state-of-the-art architecture offers owners the best of both worlds. A little piece of history brought smack bang up to the modern age with all of the creature comforts you could desire. Added to that, you could get much more space for your money.
Open plan living
Barns conversions lend themselves well to the trend towards open plan living, which is perfect for growing families or those who love a sense of space in their home. Large rooms, mezzanine floors, open plan family spaces and cosy bedrooms, often in stunning rural locations.
