Successful barn conversion at Plumber Farm Courtyard

Located near the Dorset country town of Sturminster Newton, this recently completed farmyard barn conversion development provides 10 attractive new homes, rich with architectural character.

Although redundant for farming needs, the existing barns were structurally sound and provided a perfect opportunity to create desirable new homes retaining original agricultural features, arranged around a central courtyard.

We are really proud of the final result! The simple palette of traditional materials combined with a high level of detailing makes this housing scheme a complete success and a good example of sustainable farm diversification.
