Barn conversions are an exciting way of intermingling rustic ruralism with neoterics and modern fixtures and fittings. These three are beautifully re-modelled, inside and out, connecting country-life with an almost natural form of industrialism.
The Barn, Manor Farm, Markyate | £725,000
Surrounded by woodland and meadows and formerly just a barn belonging to the adjacent manor house, this property is now far from that. Flooded throughout with natural light, features include a spiral staircase and an en-suite master bedroom.

Departing from the usual country style of most hay barn conversions, modern decorating shows how sleek furnishings can look great in large open-plan spaces against a backdrop of wood floors and high ceilings. Eco-friendly features throughout.
