Cotswold Barn Conversion & Extension
Highworth, Wiltshire
We gained planning and listed building consent for the conversion and extension of this beautiful Grade II listed barn in Highworth. In addition to the conversion of the barn, the proposals include a new living room extension opening out onto an enclosed courtyard garden.
A contemporary oak framed link separates the barn from the extension. New areas of glazing have been inserted into existing openings in the Cotswold stone walls, respecting the historic fabric of the building. A new outbuilding set within the rear parking area expands the living accommodation further, providing a home office.
Internally an open plan kitchen and dining area is illuminated with natural light from large glazed screens on both sides. A contemporary open tread stair ascends to the first floor set behind the glass, leading to two well appointed bedrooms. We worked closely with the local planning authority conservation team to secure permission for this project.
