Striking barn conversion with wildflower turf roof planned

Situated in the Chalk downlands south of Salisbury, planning application has been submitted for this very unusual 155 sq.m barn to be turned into a 3-bedroomed single storey house.

One of its striking features is that it will have a wildflower turf roof. Among some of its green credentials, it will have a ground source heat pump system and a rainmaker harvesting system.

It is to be clad in vertical oak boarding with glass sliding doors and windows to maximise thermal gain and to benefit from the beautiful views over the grasslands.
