Hickory Hill – Barn Conversion

“...we were immediately impressed with the obvious thought that went into the layout and the quality of the workmanship.”

Business Need

Early in 2003 a client approached us to work with them on the re-development of a listed site consisting of two derelict barns in the Knutsford area into residential accommodation.

The Approach

We worked closely with the client to ensure we had a full understanding of their space requirements and lifestyle for what was going to be become the family home. Armed with this understanding, we developed a design and implementation proposal for agreement for approval by the client to inform our execution of the project. Being a listed site we also had to work with the Planning Authorities to secure the necessary permissions.

Deliverables

Emerald Bay’s key deliverables were as follows:

• Full project management including securing of planning permission and building regulations approvals
• Restoration of the building frames which were significantly deteriorated, by sourcing identical replacement materials using our supply network and capabilities of our craftsmen
• Conversion of the two barns into two residential properties appointed with luxury finishes and high-tech Audio Visual, lighting and space comfort controls
• External landscaping of the area within the boundary of the two residences
• Delivery of the project within a targeted timeframe and budgetary constraints

Client Feedback

When we viewed this property we were immediately impressed with the obvious thought that went into the layout and the quality of the workmanship. Having purchased it and lived in it for a few years has only reinforced our initial impressions
