Barns and other farm buildings tend to be in idyllic rural settings. Their built-in character and architecturally interesting interior spaces can give a house a unique appeal. We need to remember that conversion is about working with the building’s existing characteristics and individual features.

Planners are generally keen to encourage the development of these now-obsolete agricultural buildings, they do place strict constraints on how much you can alter the barn’s exterior. They usually require that you do not change the roof line — dormers are always unacceptable and rooflights should be keep to a minimum and out of sight. Openings should be kept as they are, which means reusing existing doorways and cart door openings. Original materials should be repaired wherever possible and if a replacement is necessary, similar types should be used.
