An empty stone built barn in an idyllic country setting is many people's idea of a perfect renovation project to create a rural dream home with character.
A former agricultural building has become a very popular place to call home, offering an owner the opportunity to have the internal design created that fits their lifestyle needs whilst retaining the large open spaces that comes with a barn that hopefully a good architect has made the core of the new dwelling layout - the space is what makes a barn special in the first place.
It is becoming more of a challenge to find an unconverted barn that is oozing with character and potential to buy as more get snapped up as future homes, but looking regularly on the online property portals and scouring the online catalogues of the major auction houses can throw up a real beauty.
