Upper Norton Barns, Craven Arms

These are barn conversions with a difference. Work is underway at the Upper Norton Holiday and Leisure Complex in south Shropshire to create 15, high quality holiday lets, a bespoke indoor pool, sauna/steam room, gym and a restaurant.

The new holiday lets will be converted from four large existing barns. The team will use recycled stone from the existing buildings along with local Wenlock stone and lime mortar to match. Oak timber cladding boards will add an attractive external feature. The design includes many environmental features ranging from solar panels to its own Biomass sewage system. Landscaping will complete the scheme, with footpaths, low-level lighting and car parking.

Commissioned by The Holiday Property Bond (HPB), who offer a practical and affordable alternative to owning your own holiday home, the project signals a second phase of development at the popular HPB site near Craven Arms in south Shropshire.
