Lloyd Harden Design was recently commissioned to design two stunning barn conversions in rural Leicestershire.
The barns were run down and needed a complete overhaul with a view to make them into fabulous accommodation. We also wanted them to be different in their design in order to make the general feel of this area appealing.
The brief was to maintain the traditional appearance and feel of the barns but to bring them up to date with modern materials, lots of glazing and a modern, open-plan floor plan.
Barn Conversion 1:
Barn Conversion 1 boasts two storeys with three bedrooms on the ground floor and another two on the first floor. The property offers a stunning, open-plan kitchen diner, study and a separate lounge. Upstairs are the two main bedrooms, with ensuite, and balconies!
The external appearance of barn conversion 1 offers a lot of glazing with stunning views of the garden and surrounding countryside. The mono-pitched roof gives it a modern feel whilst also retaining the feel of a traditional barn.
This project is going to be stunning when built!
Barn Conversion 2:
Barn Conversion 2 offers an open-plan lifestyle over a large area. The family kitchen/diner/living area is absolutely huge and the bi-fold doors give it a bright, outdoorsy feel and which backs onto the garden. There's also a separate lounge, study and boot room/utility.
There are three bedrooms downstairs and one upstairs. The master suite is located on the mezzanine and offers a lot of space.
The external appearance of barn conversion 2 is in keeping with a traditional barn but the materials used and the use of a lot of glazing brings the design up-to-date and gives a modern feel to this beautiful barn conversion.
We love how different these two barns are in their appearance and in the flow of the floor plans. They both offer so much and will be absolutely stunning when built.
Barn conversions can be such a rewarding experience. Giving an old structure a new lease of life and the chance to make many more memories within its walls is always a wonderful experience for us.
If you're thinking of embarking on your own barn conversion then give us a call!
