converted barn

Repurposed agricultural building

A converted barn is a former agricultural building—originally for storing hay, housing livestock, or sheltering equipment—that has been renovated into a residence or other living space.

The appeal lies in rustic features like exposed beams, high ceilings, and original stonework combined with modern amenities: They bought a converted barn in the Cotswolds.

The term appears frequently in British property listings.
