Devon Barn conversion creates delightful home

The stairwell.

The renovation of a granite stone barn in a picturesque village in the Dartmoor National Park has created a light and spacious home.

Externally the original white painted walls were cleaned and much of the stone was replaced using reclaimed granite. The roof was re-slated using Brazilian slates to produce a high quality finish and internally the joinery for doors, skirting boards and floors were all made to specification in the builder's own workshop.

The exterior.   The livingroom..
 

What the customer said:

"We have never experienced such a good builder. He started the job a day early, was always courteous and all discussions about adjustments were well received. A credit to the profession."
Paul Webster
