Welcome to white heather barn

 

 

 

I'm Heather and this website started as a journal of my creative life, local walks and general chit chat about Derbyshire (see Derbyshire blog) and of course, our barn conversion adventure (see Barn Conversion).

A new chapter in our lives has begun - the barn converting has finished and our new holiday cottage is now open for guests.

Our barns were converted from a modest range of brick built Victorian stables and barns set in a traditional 'U' shape around a courtyard, to form three houses, one of which is our holiday cottage and one our home. Go to the Barn Conversion page to see how we did it, or visit our instagram feed at @whiteheatherbarn.
