Previous Projects

Farm House Project

This renovation project took seven months to complete. The renovation included underpinning to all external and internal supporting walls, new floors throughout and a new roof with re-claimed roof tiles. The new build element includes a garage with en-suite above, to minimise the impact of the new build, re-claimed materials were used to match the existing Farmhouse.

Many of the original features have been retained and in some cases enhanced, beams have been exposed, fireplaces have been re-instated and wood burning stoves installed. At the same time, state of the art features have been added including under-floor heating, a multi-room home entertainment system, IT cabling and en-suites to four bedrooms.

 

Stone Barn Project

Two-storey barn conversion uniquely featuring an internal lightweight steel frame structure to strengthen the severely bowed stone walls and support a new pan tile roof, allowing all of its original 17th Century external features to be retained. The Stone Barn won the structural innovation category in the 2008 North-East Local Authority Building Control (LABC) National Built in Quality Awards, narrowly lost out to the MK40 Tower, in Milton Keynes, and the eventual overall winner, the New Wembley Stadium, in the national finals, and was also a double runner up in the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) North East Renaissance Awards (design & innovation and regeneration).

 

Summer Barn Project

Previously a cow byre, the Summer Barn was in a severely dilapidated state and great care was taken to retain as much of the original brickwork as possible. Two large en-suite bedrooms were created in the roof space using attic trusses, Velux Conservation Roof lights were used to provide light and ventilation while still preserving the rustic nature of the building.

On the ground floor a stunning living area with a vaulted ceiling was created using specially designed Douglas Fir King Post Trusses, a glazed panel in the roof also adds to the sense of space and light and provides stunning views to the open countryside beyond.

 

Coach House Project

Dating back to the 18c, The Coach House was built using handmade bricks, during the renovation, sections of the original brickwork were in such a poor condition that they had to be demolished; however as they were unique to the building, each individual brick had to be preserved, cleaned and re-used. We also preserved the original king post trusses which, after renovation were re-fitted to create an authentic barn conversion feel.

The Coach House was our first renovation project and established PF Developments reputation for build quality and sustainability. The quality of the project was recognised in the 2007 LABC Built in Quality Awards when we won third place for Best Conservation Project.
