Damson Tree Barn
18th February 2010
DAMSON TREE BARN, Little Langdale
This small but beautiful little barn conversion set in the heart of the lakes (Little Langdale) has stunning mountain views from all aspects.
Due for completion in early June this one bedroomed barn conversion should prove popular for holiday lets and is already attracting bookings.
Although a relatively small conversion, building works have been extensive regarding the structure.
The floor levels have been reduced considerably allowing for under floor drainage and under floor heating and as with most conversions these days, excavations come very close to or below the barn foundations, therefore underpinning is necessary.
The under floor heating screed was laid yesterday and now frees up internal works by way of first fix electrics and plumbing.
Whist this work continues external works can be completed (weather permitting) including guttering, external drainage and perimeter walls.
The roof was completed late December 09 and great care has been taken to match local materials by way of reclaimed green slate and the original sand stone ridge.
Detail on the roof has also allowed access for wildlife by way of gaps in the ridge line and lead slate openings.
Metal conservation roof lights have also been fitted giving a traditional look but uses a modern approach to double glazing in roof windows.
Progress and more pictures of Damson barn can be followed on a later blog.
Progress and pictures of Violet Bank can be viewed on our next blog in 2 weeks time.
Thanks for viewing. And a Big Thank you to all our customers for the past and ongoing work. It is very much appreciated. Thank you.
See you soon.
