A comprehensive reordering of a 1980’s barn conversion, we were appointed to remodel and extend the home to reflect the needs of modern living for the next generation to enjoy. Replacing the single storey garage and utility with a two-storey timber clad extension provided a distinct new addition to the house. Internally, relocation of the principal entrance hall and stairs gave the opportunity to increase natural light in the heart of the home and to improve circulation. The extension provided a spacious master suite on the first floor with balcony, and generous kitchen, dining and informal living areas on the ground floor that flow through to the rest of the house and spill out into the garden, connecting with the refurbished pool. The former character of the barn can still be seen at the other end of the house, where the double height drawing room is framed by the original oak beams, with large windows retaining the openings of the original barn.
