Les Buttes Barn, St Saviour, Guernsey 

Client: Sara Lampitt-Mahy 

Contractor: C A Duquemin Ltd, St Peter Port

 

Les Buttes Barn lay in disrepair in the grounds of a four-bedroomed house. The brief was to stop further deterioration, reinforce rotten floors and roof structure, and provide useable accommodation.

 

The oldest, centre section retains the original mud floor and forms a private museum around the cider press, which dates from 1720. North and South barns are used as garden stores.

 

The first floor living accommodation features a glass wall to the teenagers' den, overlooking the cider press: an oak bridge links to the kitchen and shower room.
