Derbyshire Barns to Become Bespoke Dream Home
Situated in the South Derbyshire open countryside, we’ve just received planning permission for a replacement dwelling at this former extended farmhouse. The property consists of a “mismatch” of buildings added over the years and will soon be transformed into a luxury, bespoke home.
Our challenge was to use the existing footprint, transforming the disused buildings into valuable, usable floorspace and building up to maximise the space available. Under Class Q permitted development, we were able to gain consent to convert the barns under these regulations, demonstrating that the buildings were capable of functioning as a dwelling.
Working with Marrons Planning who assisted with the planning strategy and supportive statement, we were able to secure a positive outcome for our clients Unicus Homes Ltd.
Our design incorporates the use of many different materials and detailing; steep pitch roof, Staffordshire blue clay tiles, stone and oak finishing, all which gives the property a unique appearance – a point of difference and interest.
Internally the property will incorporate 4 substantial double bedrooms, complete with en suites and dressing rooms, a huge open plan kitchen/dining area, gym, cinema room and formal lounge. It truly will make a stunning and sizeable home.
If you have a large dwelling, yet to realise its full potential and need help gaining planning consent, get in touch with our experienced team at bi Design.
We are proud to feature and promote in our architecture magazine this stunning, approved Class Q countryside home
