any people seeking property in the countryside find larger houses expensive and hard to find


and may not have considered the advantages of converted barns. In Devon, they are invariably solidly built of stone and often set in beautiful rural locations. In most cases, a range of barns is converted to several dwellings but just occasionally a detached property turns up. Converting a barn offers a number of challenges to an


architect including the limitations sometimes imposed by being restricted to the use of existing windows and openings. Imaginative designers can sometimes turn a derelict pile into luxury accommodation of a high standard, and layouts are often unique, influenced by the footprint of the original building. Early conversions were often reverse level, providing spectacular living space on the first floor with high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams but leaving ground floor bedrooms in the dark. Designs are now more varied and almost every conversion is a one-off. Current examples, which are an absolute delight include a substantial and well-appointed six bedroom, six bathroom barn conversion with mature gardens and double garage set in a small complex between Kingsbridge and Modbury. This property has been run as a luxury bed and breakfast and
