Class Q is a planning route that can allow an agricultural building to be used as a home. It is not a blank permission to put a new house in open countryside. The building has to be capable of conversion, and the finished home has to be properly made.
We carry out those transformations. The frame, the openings, and the way the building sits in the yard stay part of the house. What changes is everything that makes it comfortable to live in: structure, warmth, light, and a plan that works for a family.

Farmhouse renovations
A farmhouse renovation is rarely cosmetic. Brickwork weathers through, chimneys crack and lean, and roofs and floors move. Bringing the house up to date means repairing those things in the right order, in materials that belong to the building.
We undertake full-scale structural updates, including traditional brickwork and custom chimney restoration. The aim is a home that is sound and comfortable now, and that still reads as the house it was.

Bespoke outbuildings
The buildings around a country house decide whether the place feels finished. A pool house, a stable, a garden wall, or a terrace shows immediately if it was treated as an afterthought.
We build these as bespoke structures — pool houses, stables, and exterior landscaping features — to the same standard as the house they serve, so the whole plot feels like one piece of work.
