\n An application has been submitted to convert ‘Barn 2’ at Writtenstone Farm, near Longridge, into extra accommodation linked to the site\u2019s Grade II listed farmhouse.\n<\/p>\n
\n The scheme comes from the farm\u2019s new owners, Mr and Mrs Norris, who are already converting a neighbouring barn into a family home.\n<\/p>\n
\n Unlike that project, this latest proposal is for ancillary space, designed to be used alongside the main farmhouse.\n<\/p>\n

\n The building, once a cattle shippon with a hay loft above, has stood empty for years. It still retains original stone features but has fallen out of agricultural use since the land was taken on by another farm.\n<\/p>\n
\n If approved, the conversion would see new windows and doors installed, insulation added using traditional breathable materials, and a new staircase fitted.\n<\/p>\n
\n The single-storey section, currently roofed with corrugated sheets, would be re-slated to match the main two-storey barn. Drainage channels would also be dug to help prevent damp.\n<\/p>\n
\n Inside, the barn would be made into a flexible space for hobbies, home working and family use.\n<\/p>\n
