Redseats Field Barn

Castleton

Redseats is an isolated field barn is believed to be of 16th Century origin, and was part of a medieval messuage (comprising a dwelling and associated outbuildings) located to the South-East of Castleton.

Bench Architects were appointed by the Duchy of Lancaster to develop proposals to discreetly convert the barn to a holiday cottage. Careful consideration was given to any potential impact on both the historic fabric of the barn and its tranquil rural surroundings. The proposals required no structural changes to be made to the barn, and a suitable location was identified for installation of a concealed air source heat pump.
