Listed Building - Grade II*, Within a Conservation Area
Spiders Barn, Cross Keys , CORSHAM , Wiltshire , SN13 0DT , United Kingdom
Built as a Unitarian Chapel in 1752, this Grade-II* building had been vacant since 2011. A new owner decided to breathe a new lease of life into the property and, following a lengthy and difficult planning process, consent was finally granted in 2018 to convert it into a private dwelling. Painstaking renovation works have taken place for over 2 years and the final result is a wonderfully airy and light-filled renewed property. Finishing touches were provided through the installation of a new spiral staircase. Parametric modelling by Future Joinery Systems ensured the stairs delicately dealt with the constraints of the existing, historic fabric. Expert craft seamlessly brought together all the constituent parts, to allow a new, contemporary chapter to the building.
