Barn Conversions

We are barn conversion specialists and can renovate barns or out-building and turn them into your dream home, holiday rental, office accommodation or a rural business opportunity. We are experienced craftsmen who work with traditional materials and methods, so your barn conversion will be in safe hands.

What is a Barn Conversion?

A barn conversion is a disused farm building that is both renovated and converted it into a liveable space for residential or commercial use. With the decline of farming in the Cornwall area they became a viable alternative to other types of housing. With their traditional brickwork exterior and exposed beamed interiors they look great and are set in stunning rural "green belt" locations. Barn planning permission is normally required as external barn features are expected to be renovated and retained but we can help with all that so give us a call and we could make your barn conversion dreams come true.
