The
barn lies in a quiet rural area of
Thornton Hough, set back from the
main road, and has fantastic views
of the Wirral countryside. The barn
is to be converted into a 3 Bedroomed
property with a rear ground floor
extension. The aim of the development
is to keep the natural feel of the
barn by the using the exisitng exposed
timber trusses and sandstone walls.
Existing windows are to be kept and
any new windows are to be formed in
the existing detail. An usual detail
of the barn is a large gothic window
in one of the gable ends, as indicated
in the 3D image below. We intend to
keep and restore this window to create
a feature in the main bedroom.
The rear extension is be off the kitchen
and will be used for a dining area
/ family room. Large windows with
low sill levels will be used allowing
for full views of the countryside,
whilst maintaining the overall feel
of the sandstone barn. |
