Daughters Farm
Sherborne, Dorset
This extensive home renovation and extension in the Dorset countryside showcases how a former agricultural barn can be transformed into a modern, comfortable family home. Located near Sherborne, Dorset, the original barn had already been converted into a dwelling, but latent issues remained that required careful architectural intervention.
DUA Architecture oversaw a comprehensive renovation and extension. At ground level, a garage and covered entrance were added, improving functionality and appeal. The first-floor extension to the master bedroom, complete with a balcony, takes full advantage of broad countryside views, connecting the home to its rural setting. Additional improvements include recladding the building for a refreshed aesthetic and the installation of a solar array to enhance energy efficiency.
The outcome is a smart, contemporary home that respects the building’s agricultural origins while providing modern comforts and seamless integration into the Dorset countryside.
