This former cow and pig shed, dating back to the early 1900s, has been transformed into a modern 3-bedroom home while retaining its historic charm. The project showcases how heritage conservation can be combined with sustainable construction and innovative design.
🔨 Project Highlights:
- Retention and conservation of original slate, stone and timber beams
- Extensive stonework repairs and roof restoration
- Diathonite insulated walls to protect against moisture and improve energy efficiency
- A timber-frame extension, clad in Russwood larch and corrugated metal, echoing its agricultural roots
- Renewable technologies: air source heat pump, MVHR, underfloor heating, solar panels & battery storage
- Bespoke joinery by North & Co
- A custom stainless steel kitchen installed by True North
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain insight into the challenges and solutions of heritage-led construction with a modern, sustainable approach.
