There are a number of the timber wall supports still remaining amongst the 18th century brick infill which helps to date the barn back to between 1600 to 1650. These have been preserved and displayed within the restoration. The building has been re-thatched using Norfolk reed and the roof fully repaired.
This outstanding roof dominates the light filled space being visible in its entirety throughout the barn. The internal conversion to living space has been done in a very simplistic modern style thereby accentuating the beauty of the raw vernacular building.
Working with the same builder, Malcolm Rose, who was instrumental in the gaining of the Graham Allen award for the house restoration, we were able to realize our ideas with Malcolms practical implementation, and produce a property of immense substance. At no point did we compromise the agricultural history of the barn and therefore the experience of living within this space is truly unique. . |
