About this home:

The project embraces a fabric-first approach to significantly improve thermal performance by EnerPHit standards, reducing ongoing energy consumption. Renewable energy sources, including solar PV panels and an air source heat pump, ensure the development is energy-efficient, achieving net energy export. Retaining and repurposing existing structures minimises embodied carbon, while rainwater harvesting and a green roof on the car barn further enhance environmental sustainability.

9 months at planning

Drellingore Barn Conversion represents a considered and sympathetic conversion of a historic farmstead, located in the picturesque Kent Downs. The design enhances the site’s unique setting through careful restoration and sensitive adaptation, aligning with the Kent Downs National Landscape Guide. It is a non designated heritage asset and so all planning had to be treated in a similar way to a listed building.
