The Plantation

This stunning barn conversion in mid-Devon utilises a sparse palette of high-quality finishes to create a modern, open-plan home with dramatic indoor lap-pool and double-height living spaces.

The property benefitted from the relaxation in permitted development rights for agricultural buildings to be converted into new homes in the countryside.

The original building was largely rebuilt and the high-performance, full-height glazing and natural timber cladding externally removes any remaining trace of the old building and a sleek, contemporary house emerges in its place.

A double-sided fireplace forms a focal point in the main living space and the kitchen area is defined by dual islands.
