Barn Conversions in Cardiff and South Wales

Transform Agricultural Buildings into Stunning Homes

Barn conversions offer a unique opportunity to create characterful homes with spacious interiors, distinctive features, and rural charm. At GENTCO, we specialise in converting agricultural buildings across South Wales into beautiful, comfortable living spaces that honour their heritage whilst meeting all modern standards of comfort and efficiency.

The Appeal of Barn Conversions

Converting a barn provides advantages that new builds and traditional renovations simply cannot match. Original timber beams, vaulted ceilings, and generous floor plans create architectural features that would be impossible to replicate in modern construction. Barn conversions typically offer exceptional volume and natural light potential, whilst their rural locations provide peace and privacy.

These projects also represent excellent value, often providing substantially more living space than equivalent new builds. With careful design, you can create open-plan living areas, mezzanine levels, and gallery spaces that make full use of the building's original character and proportions.

Our Barn Conversion Expertise

Barn conversions present unique challenges that require specialist knowledge and experience. We understand the complexities of working with existing agricultural structures, from assessing structural integrity to navigating planning requirements for rural conversions. Based in Cardiff and serving properties throughout South Wales, we've successfully converted numerous barns and agricultural buildings into stunning family homes.

The conversion process begins with a thorough structural survey to assess the building's condition and identify any necessary repairs or reinforcement. We then work with you and your architect to develop a design that maximises the space whilst preserving character features. Our team manages all planning and building control applications, ensuring compliance with regulations including listed building consent where applicable.

Preserving Character, Adding Comfort

The key to successful barn conversions lies in balancing original character with modern living requirements. We retain and restore features like exposed beams, original stonework, and large doorways whilst sensitively incorporating insulation, heating, plumbing, and electrical systems to current standards.

Modern technology allows us to achieve excellent energy efficiency even within traditional structures. We use appropriate materials and methods that respect the building's heritage whilst ensuring your converted barn is warm, dry, and economical to run.
