This page: A dramatically dark corridor connects to the light-filled atrium. This large, uncluttered space has been made to feel welcoming with warm and natural finishes, textures and houseplants despite the grey kitchen units. “We made the kitchen ourselves from birch plywood. It’s laminated with a high-tech material called Fenix. It’s brilliant stuff, resistant to finger marks, and scratches can just come out with a finger rub.” Beyond the kitchen there’s a stripy glimpse of the striking metal stair rails that lead up to the mezzanine. “We were going to have wooden stairs,” Emma says, “but couldn’t get the wood during Covid. The only thing that was available was steel, so we spray painted it deep plum and it became a feature.” The addition of the mezzanine meant that the family were able to live in this building while the barn was converted, sleeping upstairs on the new floor. “The other side of the house was boarded up, so we lived entirely in this side – and compared to the mobile home it felt enormous,” laughs Emma. “We moved into the modern barn extension in the summer of 2020 and built some sleeping pods within the mezzanine. It was self-contained, and with the bedrooms upstairs this was really all that we needed. We opened up the glass link at the beginning of the year and now have five bathrooms – a wet room, guest bathroom and three en suites.” All very much appreciated. Running from wall-to-wall through the building is a polished concrete floor. This helps to link the two separate buildings into one, spanning from the new barn to the old listed barn. Once the gigantic apple store was removed from the barn, the conversion was fairly straightforward. The planners allowed them to install big windows at either end because, “It could be argued that this would have been a wagon-way originally and so would have been left open,” says Emma. “We were allowed to put in one stud wall, but on the other side there aren’t any windows, so it actually helps to make it a mezzanine.” Being able to see the whole structure also makes a beautiful celebration of the building’s integrity and original purpose. Spacious and airy, this unenclosed area is used mainly for storage and features a long line of cupboards down one end. “It’s just an Ikea wardrobe – the Pax system,” says Emma, “but we took sections out of the doors and replaced them with rattan. Then Terry put a surround in to make it look more built-in. We always priceless-magazines.com
