A working farm barn at Scapegoat Hill, converted and renovated on an exposed hillside site with the weather rarely on our side.
The existing roof was stripped and a completely new timber structure erected over the barn and the adjoining outbuilding, then covered in reclaimed stone slate so the finished roof matched the surrounding buildings.
New window and door openings were formed through the existing walls, with dressed surrounds and quoins cut and built in to match the original masonry. The result is a conversion that reads as a repair to a farm building rather than a new house dropped onto the hillside.
