Set in a secluded glade at the end of a long gravel driveway the renovated and extended Milk Moon Barns creates a modern family home from a collection of formerly derelict farm buildings. Left to decay for generations, only the stone walls were suitable for retention. Where possible the old walls have been left as they were found and all new parts of the building are clad in charred black timber boarding to sensitively distinguish old from new. Where it fronts onto the original farm yard the building retains its rustic agricultural feeling while at the rear a contemporary extension connects the house with its garden.
