Bringing New Life to Old Spaces
A barn conversion is more than just a building project, it’s a careful transformation. These structures often come with history, quirks, and incredible potential. Our job is to bring out the best in them, blending traditional charm with modern comfort.
We work closely with you and your design team to make sure the space works for how you live while celebrating what makes the building unique. From exposed beams and original stonework to clever layouts and energy efficiency upgrades, we take care to preserve the soul of the building – while giving it everything it needs to function as a contemporary home.
Why Choose Wrencon for Your Barn Conversion?
With deep roots in the southwest and a long history of restoring older buildings, we know what it takes to convert a barn the right way, with skill, sensitivity, and a good dose of problem-solving.
- We’ve converted barns across Somerset and Devon, from small, rustic spaces to large-scale, multi-room homes.
- We reuse and repurpose existing features wherever possible to retain character and reduce waste.
- We understand planning restrictions and building regulations that often apply to agricultural-to-residential conversions.
One of our recent projects included the memorable instruction to “reinstate walls where excessively licked by cows” – a perfect example of the unexpected (and often entertaining) challenges that can come with working on barns! In that same project, we repurposed original stall divider bars to separate the kitchen and living areas, allowing natural light to flow throughout the space while keeping its agricultural heritage front and centre.
