Old barns conjure up a view of peaceful country life a place to spend time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Downton can renovate your derelict barn making the most of all the features that it possesses. Many barns have been altered or rebuilt in their life time whilst being used as cattle or agricultural buildings; we can put many features back into these spaces whilst building a new home inside an old shell. Reclaim materials can be sourced and put together to make your period property a beautiful place to live.

Downton Construction Ltd has successfully converted a number of barns in the Lancashire area, residential and commercial in use. Barns can be great places to introduce beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, grand staircases, oak doors and panelling and exquisite country kitchens.

The exterior can also be enhanced with York stone slabs or cobbled drive ways, random reclaimed stone walling or traditional cottage style landscape gardens, many of the barns even have hidden treasures like ancient old wells that can be made into lovely garden features.

Downton also carry a large stock of reclaimed building materials we can supply you with old handmade bricks, York stone, old beams, slates, stone cills etc. Whatever you are looking for give us a call, we might just have what you need.

A barn conversion will never be an old hall or a stately manor house but with our help, knowledge and expertise it will be a beautiful home.
