Cotswolds Barn

Barn Houses Case Study

 

This barn was rebuilt and reimagined from an original but dilapidated structure in this same location. It now serves as sustainable and flexible ancillary annex with accommodation alongside space for a music room and cinema facilities. It would work equally well as a stand alone home design.

The barn has been faced with hand dressed reclaimed and new stone from the local quarry, with added green oak framed features including a spectacular fully glazed end gable frame.

Internally the barn has an full sized open plan kitchen with dining space and sitting room, arranged to capitalise upon the wonderful views across Cheltenham. There is ground floor bathroom and fabulous entrance space.

A staircase sits at one end of the ground floor and leads to a generous bedroom and quiet reading area, top lit by rooflights.

The handmade green oak frame used throughout ties the spaces together, provides the structural integrity and architectural detail whilst perfectly framig the long views.

There is a further stone outbuilding which has been rebuilt to create a games room and secluded hideaway – complete with exposed stone internal walls, large windows, timber clad ceilings and wood burner.
