Planning for 15th Century Manor Farmhouse

Listed Building Consent for a 15th century Manor Farmhouse in Somerset.

The O2i Design team have just secured Planning and Listed Building Consent for a truly historic farm.

The project is based within the curtilage of a 15th Century Manor Farmhouse and a Grade I listed building. Dendrochronology* experts have dated timbers on-site between 1238 and 1411, making this one of the oldest buildings we have ever worked on.

Our client commissioned the O2i Design team to help create a new home in an existing and dilapidated barn. You can imagine our excitement, which means that the next generation of farmers has somewhere to live on site.

*Dendrochronology dates archaeological artefacts using the distinctive patterns of annual growth rings in timber.

Listed barn conversion

barn conversion

Duncan and Andrea’s listed barn conversion was featured in the property supplement of the Metro Newspaper today (issue 19 March 2019). The article is a realistic account of what a conversion might entail. The ups and the downs! This major renovation project was extensive and complex and was carried out whilst the family lived on site.

The couple loves the functionality of the family home they have created, and it is modern, homely and cosy.

They spent a day on the photo shoot, which was great fun. It allowed them to work again with Langport photographer Bill Bradshaw and meet journalist Chantelle Horton who came down to Somerset to quiz them about the project. It was also the perfect opportunity to think about everything they love about this home.
