Barn Conversion North Yorkshire

When we first saw the barn near Malton it was a wreck. The setting, structure and potential of this part brick part stone barn shone out. The setting has beautiful views, is peaceful and full of bird song.  'Special'building conversions always present challenges. The plan for the barn was to convert it into two holiday cottages and a home for us. It was such an interesting and challenging build that I've decided to publish our progress from the start to completion of the holiday cottages.

The challenges were to preserve the character of the original building and get the finished building in on time despite very cold and snowy weather!

Wolds End holiday cottages took its first bookings in September 2010 and bookings have been steady since then. Rose Cottage sleeps 2 to 4 and Granary Cottage sleeps 2 to 8. Both cottages and 'our bit' retain original features of the barn. We move in this month!
