Hi Guys;
This is what a farm building looks like when converted into a house. This place was originally built in 1725 out of 2 feet thick sandstone blocks. Converted in 1988.
Its part of a rectangular courtyard with the entrance into the yard on the right through the archway. This particular house was originally a barn where the windows are would have been a doorway(with wooden doors) from floor to roof for wagons to pass through loaded with hay or unthreshed straw to be stored. The small pitched roof extension above the front door would have been a doorway where straw or hay could have been pitched into the loft area from a cart.
In winter the unthreshed straw was threshed by flails during winter, and the draught of wind would have helped seperate the grain from the chaff.
When they are converted the original hand hewn oak beams & trusses are left (on display). They are not energy efficient homes - I can testify to this fact, its my home.
Cheers David
