Symmonds Barns.

Both the Oak Barn and the Beech Barn will be carefully dismantled and shipped to Texas.

Optionally we can rebuild the barn frames on clients foundations.
The frames can be altered or added to, to suite your requirements.
WeatherBoard also offer expert custom millwork, custom stairs, furniture and design services all with the 'barn home' in mind.

Total square footage is 2,760.
This barn will convert to give a residence in excess of 4200 sq. ft. allowing for open galleries etc.
Converted to a three story home it would give even more living space.

The floor in the hay mow is split level creating a central gallery in the ground floor.
