Oakhouse Barns

Two beautiful 18th-century Grade II listed Oakhouse Barns in Berkshire are part thatched timber-framed barns that have been sensitively converted to create four dwellings of considerable style.

Full-height vaulted living areas create space and light where threshing floors used to be, with open galleries and mezzanine floors creating useful additional space for study areas and bedrooms.

The original timber frame of these historic Oakhouse Barns has been carefully repaired and exposed to view, celebrating the carpentry of the traditional craftsmen who originally built the barns. In areas of Berkshire, red brickwork is similarly left exposed internally.

Fine attention to detail by our architects enabled competitive fixed-price tenders to be sought for the conversions, with the lowest-priced contractor completing the works to a high standard and well within the original
contract price.

Our experienced team’s meticulous attention to detail and proactive project management ensured an outstanding result for our customer.
