A Converted Barn in Chelsworth, Suffolk - £1,550,000
The Old Barn
Chelsworth, Suffolk
Once a farm building, now a remarkable six-bedroom house, The Old Barn sits in an elevated plot with commanding views over the quiet village of Chelsworth, Suffolk.
To preserve the architectural integrity of the building, the main barn was kept as a single volume, its original oak frame restored and integrated with new sections of French oak. Sheets of weatherboard plywood clad the interior, and the roof has been rebuilt with lightweight steel truss supports. A brick-built Victorian section to the approach was refashioned in a contemporary style, and a four-storey extension was added to the rear.
