About East Holburn Development

The East Holburn development has converted a traditional Northumberland Farm Steading into six unique residential barn conversions. The development has been carefully considered to dramatically transform and re-invent the old buildings into sophisticated and sleek modern hideaways whilst respecting the buildings’ history and creating a perfect blend of ancient and modern.

The barn achieves the perfect fusion of high-quality modern fixtures and fittings whilst retaining echoes of it’s history, including soaring timber beams.

The property is accessed into a welcoming entrance hallway through a doorway created in the traditional arched opening.
