Planning Permission Secured in Rural Oxfordshire
A traditional farmstead for the next generation
We’re delighted to have secured planning permission for Meadow Barn in rural Oxfordshire!
Set within a traditional farmstead courtyard, the project involves the sensitive conversion and extension of a former stable block, carefully retaining its relationship with the surrounding historic outbuildings while elevating it into a refined contemporary rural home.
The scheme has been designed to support multi-generational living, enabling the current owners to remain on site while the main farmhouse transitions to the next generation. A carefully considered single-storey extension introduces accessible, future-proofed accommodation, while an ‘upside-down’ arrangement places generous living spaces at first floor to take full advantage of expansive views across the surrounding countryside.
Materially, the design draws on the existing agricultural palette, combining natural and reclaimed materials with a restrained, high-quality finish. A fabric-first approach, paired with low-carbon technologies, ensures the building performs to modern standards while maintaining a strong connection to its historic setting.
The result is a carefully crafted and enduring home, balancing heritage with contemporary rural living.
