Barn and outbuildings beautifully combined

Large exterior shot of the barn.

This former barn and farm outbuildings have been transformed into two beautiful homes. The farm is situated in a conservation area so many original features were saved and incorporated into the restoration, with new materials kept to a minimum. Attention to detail was meticulous, with the builder even designing special sparrow nesting houses for the roof space for conservation purposes!

What the customer said:

"New ideas were easily incorporated into the work, many of them initiated by Mick Showell himself. This was especially helpful when providing disabled access in one of the properties."
