luxury architect houses for sale Tadley, United Kingdom

***Open House 10th October 1pm onwards. By appointment only.*** The Barn & Contemporary Architectural Pods Hidden down a tranquil country lane on the pastoral rural fringes of Tadley, The Barn stands as an extraordinary piece of English architectural history. This spectacular Grade II Listed Barn, a monumental timber-framed building completely re-thatched to very high standards. In a masterclass of structural engineering and contemporary design, the building has undergone a comprehensive, top-tier renovation to prepare it for a luxury lifestyle role. Full planning permission to finish the conversion is in place. The entire interior shell is being completely insulated, plastered, and painted, to create a single, jaw-dropping open-plan volume that celebrates the historic, soaring oak tie-beams that likely came from decommissioned ships. The conversion has been undertaken using the principles of passive house design, and the finished building will be highly insulated, airtight, and benefit from mechanical heating and ventilation estimated to require just 2.8 kw to heat in winter and 2.2 KW to cool in summer. To honour the building's strict listed status, the interior plans will utilise a highly innovative, ultra-modern architectural technique. Two entirely self-contained, freestanding living pods can be positioned at opposite ends of the vast floor plan. Because they do not attach to the historic timber frame or walls in any way, they comply perfectly with preservation orders while injecting a sharp, high-end contemporary aesthetic. Each independent pod would function as a luxury residential wing, housing two double bedrooms, two high-specification bathrooms, and provide an inviting mezzanine snug open to the rafters. This design leaves the massive central vault of the barn completely open as a dramatic, double-height entertaining kitchen, lounge and gallery. This spectacular architectural asset will be sold as seen and there are master craftsmen currently in situ and willing to continue to completion. The barn could offer the ultimate setup for an independent guest house, multi-generational living, event space, or an elite home wellness and business headquarters.
