RURAL BARN & HAYLOFT WITH MAINS SERVICES. On a side street of an out off the beaten track village, yet within a 20 minute drive from bigger and more important villages like El Barco de Ávila, and two hour drive from Madrid, a 234m2 traditional masonry stone barn set over a plot of some 116m2 of urban land. This property comes with all urban main services, having mains water, electricity & sewage.

 
The rehabilitation should use the available stone as basic element to create a habitable space, which could also be functional & personalised. Masonry has been the main traditional building material used in local constructions. Thus, stone will be preserved on all facades to add character to the building, which should also implement the use of other simple local architectural references: wooden roofed gates, asymmetrical roofs, used of prime noble material such as wood & arabic type roof tiles… In all, the rehabilitation should consist on the structural & functional restoration of this old & typical building, which currently had an industrial use (cattle farming), to turn it into a residential building through the measures contained on an approved architects project plan, which amongst others, should include: consolidation of the building’s structural security and the improvement of the building’s functionality (access, acoustical & thermal insulation, solar panels) all in accordance with current developing laws.
