For sale: this converted cattle shed is now a first class home and the epitome of industrial chic

Another great benefit was that they were able to design the layout inside to suit their lifestyle. As for the decor, Jane, who has a great sense of style, knew exactly what was required and the result is sensational.

“I wanted an industrial look that mixed new items with reclaimed pieces and quirky elements,” she says.

Hunting for them was enjoyable and while the couple invested heavily in some elements, including the stylish Odin wood-burning stove with a backdrop of brick slips and the furniture, much of which is from Barker and Stonehouse, other pieces include great finds.

The industrial lights were found by the side of a skip and are now hung from the sitting area ceiling.

“I asked the workmen on the site if I could take them and they said ‘yes’ and I took them home and sprayed them and I’m really pleased at how they turned out,” says Jane.

She also came up with the idea of using reclaimed, rusted corrugated metal sheets to create a feature wall in the hall, upon which she hung some cow horns from a friend’s mother’s farm.

The flooring is wood throughout and the new kitchen is simple and stylish and the contrast of the rustic tiles works brilliantly.

“The tiles are from Nick Firth Tiles in Sheffield, he has some great industrial pieces,” says Jane, who is now selling to downsize.

The property, which is on the market with Blenheim Park Estates for £675,000, has a welcoming entrance hall featuring a double-height ceiling and the reclaimed corrugated metal panelled wall.

The ground floor has a stunning sitting/dining room while at the opposite end of the barn there is a space for relaxing beside the ceiling suspended Odin log burner.

The contemporary kitchen has quality integrated appliances and plenty of functional work surface area.

There is also a generously proportioned bedroom suite and an additional double bedroom and a family bathroom on the ground floor.

The first floor is home to a extra large main bedroom suite and a large attic storage room.

Outside, there is a south-facing garden that is meticulously landscaped with two seating areas and there is also a summer house.

Jane says: “We have enjoyed living here. It’s a quiet village surrounded by countryside and there are some really lovely walks plus we are not far from the canal.”
