It's pretty amazing to see what can be done with an old barn. Especially this large old barn that was turned into a lovely home by Heritage Restorations. The barn was built back in 1870 made from huge sawn-timbers and used to function as a hay barn.

Heritage Restorations was able to maintain the integrity of the original structure with vintage reclaimed barn wood as the flooring, ceiling and exterior siding. This saves money of course, but it also keeps some of the historical value of the barn and keeps the heritage of the area alive. This amazing barn now serves as a guest house as well as a garage and a wine cellar.

From the centre, beam hangs a beautiful and large chandelier which brings in a bit of glamour into the living space. Then the large fireplace is at the very back wall providing an anchor for the living space with two arched windows on either side.
