DevonBarn Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Hi everyone, we're hoping to convert a large (400sqm) barn into a house, with most of the work done by an experienced builder but I'll be helping where I can (experienced DIYer but need pointing in the right direction). The attached is the kind of thing we're aiming for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveasteading Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Welcome. You've come to the right place. There is lots about barns on here already.. Have you got planning permission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMo Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Hi and welcome. Plenty of experience on here. Big house, just be careful it doesn't end up looking like a commercial building. The big glazing may end up melting you on a sunny day. So you may need some shading. So something to discuss with your architect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Put loads of insulation in the floor of the room above the overhang. We had a house once with a small overhang and despite quite a lot of insulation that room was always cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
