Unicorn Construction were appointed to undertake the conversion of two large , Grade 2 listed barns into a 2 bedroom and a 3 bedroom home . The properties required some minor underpinning works to the existing building structure . We constructed new foundations and internal load bearing insulated masonry walls on the inside of the barns , tied into the existing oak and brickwork external frame . We installed a new roof structure which transferred the roof loadings onto our new masonry wall , whilst having to work around the existing roof structure which had to be retained in place . The internal ceiling and wall linings were undertaken in a way which celebrated the original character and features of these properties , whilst providing the thermal performance of a current energy efficient home , with underfloor heating installed throughout both properties and high levels of insulation introduced within the floor , roof and wall structures of the buildings . The external character was retained with the new windows and doors of traditional style and design and lime rendered external walls . Our scope of works extended to include the re-roofing of the adjoining garage using reclaimed clay tiles and the external landscaping . The Project was handed over in April 2016 .
