Hi, my names Simon and my wife and I have been living on a Farm Steading in Northumberland for 13 years having moved from London with romantic notions of the countryside, self employment and self building (Thanks Grand Designs !) We renovated the Farmhouse first, then next up was conversion of a single storey byre which my wife subsequently ran a business from. After that as my building skills improved, I took on two bigger barns,  both now rented out. The last biggest and best barn is now underway. It is what attracted us to the Farm in the first place, and with the farmhouse now being sold it will finally be our home. 

The shell is complete, new roof on and glazing in situ, but I am really struggling with the best way to heat it. I have been reading buildhub and learning a lot, but thought it only right that I show my face here before asking loads of questions. Thanks in advance.

Simon.

Hi and welcome.

 

What part of Northumberland?  I have relatives there and visit frequently.

Hi Dave, I am 12 miles West of Hexham in the Tyne Valley.
