THE FOLD YARD RESTORATION

The Fold Yard was originally a group of barns and outbuildings dating back to the mid-19th Century. The buildings served the former Cornborough Hall Farm and were used to house sheep and cattle during the winter months.

The barns retained many original features such as traditional roof trusses, wooden beams, ventilation slots and even chains nailed into the walls for the tethering livestock.

 

During the conversion into contemporary style accommodation, we were keen to retain its rustic character and charm by ‘giving the nod’ to as many of these traditional features as we could.
