barn conversions

Barn conversions are a unique opportunity to breathe new life into a piece of our agricultural past while creating a modern, functional living space. I offer a comprehensive barn conversion service that marries the rustic charm of Cotswold barns with contemporary design and comfort.

I work closely with you to understand your vision and how it can be realised within the existing structure. I then develop detailed plans that retain the barn's unique features while incorporating modern conveniences. This process includes navigating planning permissions, building regulations, and potentially complex structural issues, ensuring a smooth and compliant transformation.
