This collection of dilapidated barns was converted into five contemporary homes, retaining many original features and the historic character of the buildings. A disused piggery was renovated to provide storage facilities and ample parking and landscaped gardens provide amenity space for residents. As part of the conversion, a lost section of building and courtyard was reinstated, restoring the integrity of the original 1870 design. The natural slate roofs and original stone walls were repaired using local, natural materials and solar panels and other energy saving measures have helped to ensure a significant improvement to the building’s sustainability. The development has provided much needed permanent, residential accommodation in the locality.
