Reimagining a 16th‑Century Barn with a Contemporary Glazed Extension
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.

A Brighter way to Live in a Historic Home
A contemporary glazed extension and full internal reconfiguration breathe new life into this 16th‑century barn. The project opens up the ground floor for modern family living, adds a light‑filled sunroom connecting directly to the garden, and reshapes the first floor with a new bedroom suite and converted workshop above the garage. Sensitive upgrades, new timber windows and a refined material palette bring the whole home up to date while respecting its heritage. The clients are now enjoying a home that feels brighter, more connected and tailored to the way they live.
