Rural Heritage Reimagined in Selborne
From Agricultural Past to Contemporary Homes
Set in the picturesque countryside of Selborne, this barn conversion project saw the transformation of a former agricultural structure into three beautifully crafted homes—each designed to honour the building’s original character while offering all the comforts of modern life.
The development includes two four-bedroom homes and one two-bedroom property, with a shared architectural language that respects the barn’s rural roots. A dramatic glazed atrium sits at the heart of the scheme, celebrating the original structure’s form and bringing natural light deep into the layout.
Preserving Character, Enhancing Liveability
The design balances old and new—retaining much of the original barn’s silhouette and characterful detailing, while introducing clean lines, open-plan living, and large-format glazing to maximise light and space.
This thoughtful approach ensures the homes feel grounded in their rural setting, yet tailored for contemporary lifestyles.
