original building while adding an extension which sits at a right angle to the original barn and is around 75% of its size. The new extension, which is clad in zinc and cedar with open gables, increases the number of bedrooms to three. The zinc roof was Sarah’s idea, and is in keeping with the metal roofs used on farm outbuildings. There is cedar wood cladding to match the traditional wooden construction and the lare windows that reect the lare openins that barns traditionally have at their gable ends. he buildin also features local stone to fit in with the area. “We wanted to be able to see where the original building was,” explains Chris. he first thin ou notice with the new extension is its open gables that draw light deep into the house. The gabled form of the original barn has been repeated at the rear, building over an existing terrace. New bi-fold doors – which both Chris and Sarah list among their favourite features – bring the outside in, encouraging them to spend more time in the garden. The front door has been moved, with a vaulted entrance connecting all of the rooms of the house. The sense of a central hallway leading off to individual rooms has gone, with a more sociable open plan area.

The front door has been moved to the new building, with a vaulted entrance replacing the dark hallway to connect all of the rooms. The entrance leads through to a new dining room with views right through to a new terrace beond nside, the first impression of the house is glass and wood, slate and stone. The vaulted spaces are lined with ply, and the stonework has largely been left exposed. The ply-lined entrance has a feature staircase with a striking wooden balustrade, inspired by a cathedral in Copenhagen.


Sarah wanted to avoid the feeling of being confined in the itchen, so she desined it as part of a spacious open plan area that incorporates the dining space. However, the family also desired a separate, enclosed sitting room connected to the hall, primarily used for relaxation after dinner.


A doorway halfway up the stairs connects to the garden at a higher level. “I love coming down the stairs in the morning and looking out the door, sas Chris ts the first time ou see the outside world.” n the first oor, there is a new pllined vaulted bedroom, while the existing part of the house has been reconfiured to proide two further bedrooms and a bathroom.
