Bramble Barn

Your h0sts are 🌸 – @ourbramblebarn @ourfirsthomekildare @homeat_no7_ @our_dream_norfolk_home @mrslilley_smithhome @no8__chedworth @ourdevonfarm

The weather in Devon has been absolutely beautiful the last couple of days. This weekend marked the first grass cut of the year (not this field 😂) but around @ourdevonfarm. Spring is on the way which means longer evenings. This sunset captured over @ourbramblebarn makes us so excited for sitting on our bridge enjoying evenings like this. Do you have a special place to relax? 💚 . #home #homeaccount #newbuild #selfbuild #f4f #devon #relax #relaxingsounds #spa #tranquility #countryside #devoncountryside #sunset #farm #fields #ourdevonfarm #ourbramblebarn

This still takes our breath away knowing we will be living with these views. It gives another great perspective of where our barn will be situated (on the left of the pic). Lots of work going on behind the scenes at the moment which is why we are quiet 🥰🏡 . #newbuild #scenery #viewforview #viewsforday #farmbuildings #farm #barn #homeaccount #home #renovation #renno #livinginthecountry

We have been busy with getting lots lined up for the build but this deserves a place on the grid. Storm Darragh arrived on the farm and started the demolition of the existing barns earlier than predicted 🤣🙈 This is the overhang for the barn opposite where @ourbramblebarn will be so we feel we got off lightly considering wind speeds of 65mph! @ourdevonfarm is made of stronger stuff! Did you suffer any damage? . #storm #stormdamage #stormdarragh #farmbuildings #farmlife #newbuild

Another beautiful picture from last week. It just had to have a place on the grid. This is where our garden will be and it's just the most perfect spot ❄️ . #bramblebarn #snowyday #snowpics #snowypics #snowfall #barn #barnnewbuild #newbuild #homeaccount #pretty #nature #scenery #snowscene #landscape #lanscapephotography

It's finally arrived in Devon and look how pretty the barn is looking in it's snow blanket. Although it's just the start, I wonder how thick it will get here. Have you got snow? ☃️❄️ . #snowday #snow #snowfall #newbuild #barnnewbuild #selfbuild #snowy #homeaccount #home

*Another Timber Frame company visit – Sound On 🔉* Rob and I took a trip to Cornwall last weekend to visit Frame UK. It was so interesting seeing the process and all that is involved in making the timber frame. Hope you enjoy our version of 'inside the factory' at Frame UK! . #Framehomes #frameuk #timberframe #timberframehouse #newbuild #selfbuild #devon #cornwall #tendering #exploringoptions #newreel #likeforlike #followforfollowback #devonnewbuild #uniquedesign #uniquehomes #newhome

Living on a farm means there's always something to do. It also means grabbing the few days this time of the year when it's dry (sunshine is always a bonus!) That's just what we did. This job was bringing the overgrown hedges/trees down behind the main farmhouse which we are all living in while we build the barn. Are you impressed with the neat bundles? All was going well until we had to abort due to finding a baby pigeon in a nest. A rather well fed late bloomer 🤣 Always expect the unexpected on the farm 🚜 Are you making the most of the sunny autumn days? . #newbuild #selfbuild #devon #bramblebarn #home #homeaccount #f4f #like4like #gardening #farm #farmlife #onthefarm #countryliving

*Timber Company Visit* 🔉sound on 🔉 This week we went to see Allwoood Timber Construction which is local to us here in Devon. We have a unique build in the fact that our ground floor is a traditional masonry build and our first floor is a timber frame. This is due to us requesting a block and beam first floor (will explain more on that soon). At Allwoood we got shown around the site and saw where our timber frame would be made and put together. We are hoping to use a local company and are currently seeking quotes. As you can imagine, we are learning so much each day and of course haven't made things easy with our mixed build but it's so exciting to start exploring how our house will be made! Let us know in the comments if your house is a traditional build or timber frame ⬇️ . #timberframe #timberframehouse #timberconstruction #selfbuild #traditionalbuild #masonry #brickbuild #construction #newhouse #newbuild #home #homeaccount

Hope you've all had a great weekend. So the final angle to show you is the South Elevation. Our finished barn is going to be a similar shape but it will also have the garage added on this side too. We are currently getting all our specs together ready to go to tender. Such exciting times ahead. We will also be submitting to planning the conditions they require before we start so it's all systems go.
