Construction work well underway to complete a 5 bedroom barn conversion - Isle Abbots, Somerset
Construction work is taking shape on this large 5 bedroom barn conversion with annex. A single storey dwelling, it includes airtight, yet breathable, high-performance floors, walls and roofs, insulated with recycled glass, sheep's wool and wood fibre. The low carbon energy target is driven by following a fabric-first approach; minimising energy demand; using efficient services; low carbon sources of heat and maximising onsite renewables.

A barn conversion is the process of transforming an old, disused agricultural barn into a new habitable space, most commonly a home or holiday let, but also potentially an office or commercial property. These conversions are popular for their ability to blend rustic, historic architecture with modern comforts and spacious, light-filled interiors. While they offer a unique opportunity to create a property with character, they often involve complex technical and planning considerations, including structural work, services, and navigating regulations like Class Q permitted development rights.
