Probably the only way of getting planning permission is to stay within the frame of the existing building.

Yes. Conversion's being allowed under something called 'Section Q,' which permits a change of use for 10 years redundant farm buildings. One of the conditions is not to exceed the existing dimensions.


We're sitting on a barn of somewhat better proportions in the hope that planners will come to their senses and allow more flexibility in the future. e.g. different shape, but same internal volume, or something like that. Don't really want to produce an eyesore.

That's a lovely house but those bedroom curtains are going to be a bit ineffectual aren't they?

Doesn't look as if there's anywhere for someone to lurk and look in though.

Not sure I like the split upstairs though, no way from one side to the other weightlifting downstairs and then upstairs again. Not great for families with small chikdren!

However - spot the cat (if you are put off by the 63! pictures, you don't have to go very far in)

Overall I quite like it, but some strange bedroom/en-suite decisions. There are enough bathrooms, in the right places, for ever bedroom to be en-suite but for some reason they haven't ??
