“Thread have created the contemporary interior we were looking for whilst sympathetically preserving and upgrading the period fabric of the property” Ian and Kelsey

A contemporary glazed extension and a complete reimagining of the interior have breathed new life into this 16th‑century barn. What was once a series of enclosed rooms now opens out into generous, flowing spaces made for modern family life. The new sunroom draws light deep into the heart of the home and creates a calm, seamless connection to the garden, turning everyday moments into something quietly uplifting.

Upstairs, a new bedroom suite and the transformation of the former workshop above the garage reshape the first floor into a place of comfort and retreat. Throughout, sensitive upgrades, new timber windows and a carefully balanced material palette honour the barn’s heritage while giving it a renewed sense of clarity and warmth.

The result is a home that feels brighter, more connected and deeply attuned to the way the family lives, a place where the character of the past and the ease of contemporary living sit beautifully together.
