Helton Barns
Adjoining the Askham Gate site, we are privileged to be repurposing a series of interlocking disused, fire damaged barns. The scheme with breathe new life into these buildings at the heart of Askham, Cumbria, creating new homes, holiday lets and a cottage industry facility for the family business.
The scheme has been particularly challenging and enjoyable not just because of the age of buildings but also the intriguing level changes which have enabled multiple 'ground floor' access points and oversailing spaces - there is even an attached Dutch barn.
The sensitive use of traditional and contemporary materials has been crucial in developing the scheme in a sympathetic and honest manner, and the end result will be transformational, securing a healthy future for these beautiful structures for years to come.
