Converted Barn, Chadshunt

Brief

Give this glorious home the grand entrance it deserves.

Incorporate improved parking and maximise the south-facing aspect for summer entertaining.

Before
The beautiful picture window to the original barn masquerades as an entrance, confusing visitors.
The dated existing path to the front door was drab and underwhelming; flanked by sloping lawns and two narrow strips of token perennials.
Visual concepts
Replacing the narrow concrete slabs with a broader path of traditional York Stone and brick edging creates a sense arrival.
Welcoming lollipop trees, evergreen hedging and a pair of oversize terracotta pots complete the statement.
Proposed view from the front door, looking out at the south facing seating area and rolling countryside beyond.
The totally private location allowed for front garden seating and dining areas to maximise the south-facing aspect and stunning views.
Proposed view from within the barn, looking out onto the new dining area, level lawn and pastoral idyll beyond.
No more excuses from the Amazon delivery guy now.
Family parking closer to the house and new visitor parking with gravel path to the main entrance make for a more practical space.
