New entrance doors and flush casement windows from Mumford & Wood were specified for this cow shed and barn conversion, including a bespoke, oversized front door. Scott Martin, National Sales Manager for Mumford & Wood comments “This entrance door is one of the widest we have ever made, and we are delighted with how it has turned out”.

In total, the building and development project took roughly 10 months. During this time, the McManus family converted a smaller barn-type building for them to live in temporarily.

“The local community were far more receptive to our plans as it was on a smaller scale when compared to the original developer. Existing buildings were to be redeveloped rather than demolished and were designed to be in keeping with the neighbouring properties. We also took the neighbours’ privacy into account and ensured our designs would respect this. In total, our plans were approved within only 6 weeks which we were delighted with!” Mr McManus explains.
