What is a barn conversion?

Southern Cross Projects are experts in the field of barn conversions, whether that is a full renovation from scratch or a refurbishment of something that already exists. A barn conversion is an excellent use of an unused building, providing new, modern spaces within an aesthetically pleasing, rustic setting.

The spacious potential of a barn lends itself to conversion for domestic or commercial purposes, and often boasts some ideal features such as exposed brickwork and double-height ceilings to give your barn conversion a unique character. Whether the space is intended as extra living space, a holiday rental, office space, a personal gym or even a recording studio, Southern Cross Projects has the specialists ready to bring your vision to life with inventive design and custom manufacture. Our expert team can help from design to final installation, handling all the greater and finer details, as well as necessities such as the connection of utilities to mains supplies where possible, or alternative options such as septic tanks, ground-source heat pumps, and solar panels.

Luxury barn conversions by Southern Cross Projects

A barn conversion by Southern Cross Projects will provide a truly luxurious restoration which can be designed and renovated to your own exact specifications. A barn conversion makes an ideal new and bespoke living space or office at a much lower cost than buying a new property, especially if you already own the barn and land. There are endless possibilities for what a barn conversion can become.

Converting a barn into a holiday let could provide a second income which can pay dividends on the investment of renovating in the first place. Alternatively, it could create an office or commercial space for a new business idea, or simply become that luxurious addition to your property by becoming a personal gym to relax in. Our experienced team can offer a complete turnkey solution from start to finish, within your budget and always to the very highest of standards.

FAQs

A barn conversion is the development or adaptation of a farm building into an alternative use for the space that is suitable for commercial or residential use.

The overall cost of your barn conversion will depend on many different factors such as the size and scope of the project as a whole. To get a much more accurate idea of cost contact us for a discussion and quote.

Most barn conversions fall into Class Q category of permitted development rights (PDR) which means that a barn conversion doesn’t need full planning consent. You will need a prior approval application to ensure that it is legal, but we can take care of all the paperwork for you as part of the project.

Often you can connect your barn conversion to mains utilities, but sometimes other options are needed depending on your location and situation. We can advise you further when we come to survey your site as part of the planning and design stage.

You are restricted with a barn conversion to the original, existing footprint of the barn. However if you wanted to add a garage or a small extension that links the existing barn to other outbuildings they may be allowed if designed sympathetically. If planning this type of extension, you would have to submit a full planning permission application. Southern Cross Projects will take the headache out of the paperwork and discuss all planning issues during the design phase.

    When I took on the project management for a retail shop for MB, I was lucky that someone recommended Southern Cross Projects to me. They took care of the complete fit out including larger and smaller internal structures along with electrics and much more- they made my job super easy.
    Aidan Ellis
    My bathrooms were looking old, tired, and dingy. They were in desperate need of an upgrade but, in honesty, I didn’t know where to start. Luckily, Southern Cross Projects were able to guide me through the project from start to finish and took care of the majority of it, so I didn’t have to get too involved

    I contacted Southern Cross Projects as I wanted to turn my cellar into a wine cellar. I had a fairly good idea of what I wanted in mind, but Southern Cross Projects definitely added their own flare to the planning of the project which I loved. It looks even better now that the vision has been realised

    Southern Cross completely transformed a manor house that we recently purchased. They helped us plan each room, kept us informed throughout and worked so efficiently to get the work done. We still can’t believe how quickly they completely changed the feel of the property and bought it up to date while maintaining it’s classic feel
    Mollie Elliott
    Painted the inside and outside of our hotel, bringing it up to date and giving it a much more modern feel. It’s amazing how a change of colour can completely transform a room. What’s more, they couldn’t be more accommodating and flexible, working around our operating hours so we didn’t have to close our doors while they worked.
    Simon Dean
    Designed bathrooms for us completely from scratch. This included planning the space effectively and then installing absolutely everything from plumbing and electrical appliances to suspended ceilings, and everything in between, including custom made cabinets, doors and vanity tops. We now have a bathroom to be proud of
    Christian Sharpe
    Southern Cross Projects completely transformed the inside of our property with their superb cabinetry and joinery skills along with their keen eye for details and ability to make the most of our space. They turned our property in a light, clean, space with completely custom feature. Would we recommend them? Absolutely.
    Bradley Fisher
    After having spent ages trying to find a decent and honest company to help us have our kitchens refurbished - Southern Cross were at the forefront in assisting in realising our dream kitchen. From start to finish, they fed ideas and listened to our own, to create a plan that just elevated our kitchen space and created something that will last for a very long time! Fantastic company to work with and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to our family.
    Courtney Harding
    The team were all incredibly prompt, smooth and talented at what they did. We felt in very capable hands. They advised on every element of our garden pod, including best materials to use. We could not be happier with the finished product. A truly unique studio pod bespoke to us.
    Frank Gehry
    The team were professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable of their craft and project managing. Could not recommend them more, I’m incredibly pleased with how the project turned out.
    Jennifer Hoyt
    Outstanding quality of work at excellent prices.
    Hilton Westlake
    I agonised over the design and fittings for my dream house kitchen and cabinetry and went to several leading suppliers before considering Southern Cross Projects. I thought they were entirely commercially orientated and that being in London they would not consider.
    Marion Grasini
    We absolutely love our home and have received so many compliments on all the finishes and the drastic change that this renovation did to our now newly renovated home.
    Terry Da Camara
    Throughout the last 3 years of dealing with Southern Cross on various projects, they are the only company I would recommend to friends and family for any and all home improvement requirements. The team goes above and beyond to offer.
