Converting a barn can be a great way to add additional living space to your home or farmhouse. Often barns will have plenty of space, which means with the right design and help you can create additional rooms to your property to use as guest space, a gym, a studio or an office. Open plan structures and vaulted ceilings mean that you can create something characterful and unique.
Whether you’re looking to add a sympathetic extension or update a barn / outhouse in line with modern tastes and efficiencies, The Ugly Duckling Building Company can help give it a new lease of life. The majority of agricultural and industrial structures were not made for living in so we can help with design inspiration and ideas to make your barn or outhouse into part of your home.
We are experienced in beam cleaning and restoration, using reclaimed materials to add character, insulating and adding glazing to let in natural light. We are also experienced in working with listed barns, ensuring they meet all regulations.

What our clients say
Ollie and his team carried out renovations at our house – most notably converting a sizeable farm outbuilding into a habitable space. From the first meeting, I was particularly happy with Ollie’s approach and great communication with us, which has all too often been missing from previous experiences of building works. It was really easy to work with Ollie and collaborate on the end results – he is very professional and knowledgeable but is also great at talking through the logistics of the work and any wish lists. In this regard, I really appreciated Ollie’s versatile approach to attend to the smaller tasks as well as the major renovation of the outbuilding. I would certainly recommend Ollie and his team and would not hesitate to use him again for any further work.
