The Threshing Barn, Hartland

The Threshing Barn, is one of several former agricultural buildings only half a mile from the sea in the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Biosphere Reserve.,

Jonathan Rhind Architects were asked to draw up plans and apply for planning permission to turn the threshing barn into a residential property. The proposals include repairs using traditional methods and materials to maintain the historic farm building character and maintain its presence in the landscape.

Working with ecologists and in close consultation with the local planning department Jonathan Rhind Architects were able to come up with a solution which satisfied both the client and the planning authority requirements.

The proposals included repairs using traditional methods and materials to maintain the historic character and agricultural heritage. The completed conversion includes a cantilevered floating stair and light open plan living spaces.

The Threshing Barn is available as holiday accommodation. For more info, please go to www.berrybarndevon.co.uk
