It's hard to believe that the decrepit and rickety Hampshire barn shown in the 'before' pictures ever had the potential to be transformed into this amazing house...but that is the skill and expertise of Five Oak Projects, at their very best!
Stripped back to its original frame, and then lovingly restored, this previously neglected ruin of a barn is now transformed into a much-loved family home.
This is the Threshing Barn at www.southendbarns.co.uk, a major restoration project of a beautiful old building. Aiming to keep as much of the original timber frame as possible, it features a complex web of oak posts and beams where new meets old. Reflected in the highly polished concrete floor, the vaulted ceilings and restored oak frame creates a stunning location for a wedding breakfast.
A vaulted ceiling exposes the timber trusses restored during the renovation of this Victorian brick and flint built dairy building, turning it into a wedding ceremonies room at www.southendbarns.co.uk.
One of our favourite projects - converting these unloved barns into a self contained two storey annexe and showroom worthy garage. With one bat loft and 17 bat boxes installed that was the wildlife sorted! For the clients we installed a bedroom, bathroom, skylights, kitchen and living room with log burner and doors onto the garden.
