Mrs P had owned her family farm for years and had several disused barns on her property. She approached Bristol Builders Network (BBN) in the spring of last year. The client wanted to convert her brick barn into a second home through barn conversion. Despite being a and in a conservation area, large amounts of contemporary glazing were added onto the barn.
Barn conversions are rising in popularity, both for personal use as well as for holiday lets. Barns that are not in use on your property are losing you money when they are simply left to decay. By converting barns into living space, you are adding room to your property, whilst ensuring the price of your home is also increased.
Barn Conversion Price
With our price at BBN for a barn conversion being only £1,500 per square meter, Mrs P’s 37m2 conversion cost her £55,500. However, this conversion dramatically improved the value of her property. Bristol Builders Network transformed this clients barn from a derelict building to a modern, attractive living space.
Derelict buildings have a detrimental affect on your property. When left to fall down, they will actually decrease the value of your home. Mrs P certainly had the right idea by converting her barn into useful living space.
