Converting a 508 Year Old Grade II Listed Barn into a Detached Family Home
Our client, an experienced property developer, approached us directly, seeking funds to convert a historic 16th-century Crown Barn into a high-end family home.
The Barn, originally built in 1517, and one of only 45 left in England, is situated on a picturesque plot of land in the Surrey countryside.
The developer acquired both the barn and surrounding land and successfully obtained planning permission to transform the structure into a beautiful 3-bedroom home.
The plans for the conversion preserve the heritage of the original building, while introducing modern finishes, open-plan living, and carefully restored character features.
Lowry Capital funded £300,000 across two tranches to support the development of this unique and historic property.
We’re confident that, with the developer’s experience and vision, this conversion will be completed to an exceptional standard – and will generate a strong return on investment.
