Barns turned
into homes.
Sympathetic conversions of agricultural buildings into characterful family houses across Norfolk.
The old structure, kept.
The point of a barn conversion is to keep what makes the building worth converting — the original timber, brickwork, proportions and light. We work alongside conservation officers and structural engineers from day one to keep as much of the existing fabric as is practical, then weave modern services and finishes through it carefully.
Survey, structural appraisal and conservation advice taken before any decisions about what stays and what changes.
Original timber, brick, stone and apertures preserved where sound; sympathetic replacements where they're not.
Heating, electrics, plumbing and ventilation woven through the existing structure as discreetly as possible.
Floor plans designed around how a family actually uses a home, not around what was easiest in a working barn.
Barn conversions, before and after.
Drayton Two-Storey
The clients had inherited a 1990s lean-to conservatory that was cold in winter, hot in summer, and broke the flow between the kitchen and the back garden. We replaced it with a single-storey extension running the full width of the rear, opening the kitchen-diner directly onto a new porcelain terrace through a 5m run of bifolds.

What’s included
Every barn conversion is run as a single coordinated project, from initial survey through to handover.
We handle the structural assessment, planning and listed-building consents, structural strengthening, insulation, services and all finishes. By overseeing the whole conversion as one job, we keep the original fabric protected and the finished home consistent.
Survey & consents
Structural survey, conservation advice, planning and listed-building consents handled in-house.
Structural strengthening
Foundations, steels, ties and timber repairs designed and inspected by a qualified engineer.
Insulation & services
Insulation, heating, ventilation, plumbing and electrics woven through the existing structure.
Finishes
Plastering, flooring, joinery, decoration and final commissioning, sympathetic to the original building.
New homes inside old buildings.
A good barn conversion reads as one consistent piece — old fabric and new services holding their own without one fighting the other. We preserve original details where they're worth keeping, repair where we can, and replace sympathetically where we can't. The result feels like a home that's always been a home.
Retained features
Existing timber, brick, flint and stone preserved and repaired where structurally sound.
Sympathetic replacements
New timber, glazing and joinery sourced and detailed to read as part of the original.
Modern fabric performance
Insulation, glazing and air-tightness brought up to current standards without compromising the building.
Conservation-led detailing
Door and window proportions, eaves details and ridge lines kept consistent with the original.

Ask us a QuestionListed barns do. Many unlisted agricultural buildings can be converted under Class Q permitted development, though not all — and the rules change regularly. We check the planning position on the first visit.
Many single-storey rear extensions fall under Permitted Development, so no application is needed. Two-storey extensions and most side returns do require planning. We assess this on the first visit and handle the application ourselves if needed.
