Architecture — Barn Surrey

A visit to Surrey

The old barn and small outbuilding belong to Chapel House Farm, a former vicarage from the 16th century. Today, the owner hosts his guests here. With the conversion, the two separate buildings were joined together, thus creating an open, spacious interior, where the character of the barn is a charming presence in the restored half-timbered structure. The floor of hexagonal terracotta tiles and the new lighting also add to the inviting atmosphere. Natural light comes in through the full-height windows in the door openings and through additional skylights. A stairway leads into the attached annex, which houses a small kitchen and a guest bathroom.
