Courtyard Transformation

This courtyard was completely stripped back, with the old block paving removed and the ground reworked to correct levels and improve drainage. We installed a premium natural stone patio, added oak sleeper planters, oak cladding for warmth and character, and finished with a freshly rendered feature wall to tie everything together.

The result is a clean, practical outdoor space that flows beautifully from the house through to the garden beyond – built to last and finished with real attention to detail.

✨ Pinfold Barn Conversion – Before and After ✨

Before we started this project the barns were in a very poor state with collapsed brickwork rotten timbers broken windows and years of wear from farm use. Every building needed significant structural repairs before any work on the new layouts could begin.

We stripped everything back to the original frames and rebuilt the site section by section. This included repairing large areas of damaged brickwork replacing roof timbers fitting new windows and doors and making each structure safe and weatherproof again.

Once the barns were stabilised we began forming the new homes inside. All plumbing electrics insulation and flooring were installed from scratch and every barn was given its own layout kitchen and bathrooms. Wherever possible we kept original features like the beams brick arches and existing openings to show the age of the buildings.

The outside areas also needed full redevelopment. We removed old concrete broken walls and farm waste then rebuilt the courtyards with new patios pathways drainage and fenced gardens for each plot.

Huge transformation from where we began and the next posts will show the finished barns one by one along with more before and after photos.

Thank you to all the trades involved throughout the project including the bricklayers joiners roofers plumbers electricians plasterers groundworkers and decorators who helped bring the barns back to life.
