Local Barn Conversion Specialists Covering Lynton & Lynmouth

Lynton and Lynmouth sit inside Exmoor National Park, about forty-five minutes from our Barnstaple base, and for the right project — heritage work, barn conversions, serious stonework — the twin towns and surrounding Exmoor farms are well within our patch.

From the Victorian stone terraces of Lynton and the harbour cottages of Lynmouth to the hill farms across the moor, almost everything here is traditionally built — stone, slate and lime — and almost everything demands those same skills when it's repaired, extended or converted.

Because the towns sit inside the National Park, planning runs through Exmoor National Park Authority rather than the district council, and expectations on materials and detailing are higher than almost anywhere else in Devon — which suits the way we work.

What We Do

Barn Conversions, Done Properly

Devon's traditional stone barns are some of the best conversion opportunities in the country — solid, characterful buildings that, done properly, become genuinely exceptional homes. Done badly, they become expensive problems. The difference is a contractor who understands both the structural realities of old agricultural buildings and the standards modern living demands.

We handle barn conversions from groundworks to finish: underpinning and structural repairs, new openings cut and dressed in matching stone, insulation and damp strategies that work with a breathing building rather than against it, and all the brickwork, blockwork and rendering in between. Because we run our own plant and machinery and keep the work in-house, you're not juggling six different subcontractors — one team, one point of contact, one standard.

Many barns come with planning conditions attached — Class Q permissions, conservation requirements, or listed status. We're used to working within those constraints and alongside architects and planning officers to deliver what's been approved, properly.

High-End & Architect-Led Projects

Built for Projects Where the Standard Matters

A large part of our work comes through architects, and it shows in how we operate: we price accurately from drawings, build exactly what's been designed, raise the practical questions early rather than mid-build, and keep sites clean and organised enough to walk a client around at any point. If your barn conversion in Lynton & Lynmouth is architect-designed, we're comfortable being tendered against anyone.

The capability behind that is unusual for a contractor our size: stonework specialists in-house, our own plant and machinery, and experience across heritage restoration, full stone new builds and complex structural work. From a commercial natural stone facade for Tesco Express to complete barn conversions and coastal builds, the same in-house team carries every project — which is why the finish is consistent and the programme holds.

Common Questions

Barn Conversions in Lynton & Lynmouth — FAQs

Do you handle the structural work on barn conversions?

Yes — structural repairs, underpinning, new openings and lintels, roof structure work and all masonry are done in-house. That's the core of what we do, not something we subcontract out.

Can you work on listed barns or those with planning conditions in Lynton & Lynmouth?

Yes. We regularly work on projects with conservation requirements and are comfortable liaising with Exmoor National Park Authority and your architect to make sure the approved details are delivered exactly.

Do you do the groundworks too?

We do — we run our own plant and machinery, so drainage, foundations, service trenches and access work are all handled by the same team. On rural sites around Lynton & Lynmouth that saves serious time and money.
