Country Homes & Interiors
|November 2022
Removing the orange wood and worn carpets left over from its 1980s conversion has transformed this barn and put the focus back on its glorious original features
Bachelor pad meets weekend family home? It might not be the most conventional-sounding barn conversion, but then its owner Simon Lue-Fong would never wish to be described as conventional. He was looking for a country escape for himself and his two young daughters who spend most weekends with him.

I put an offer in that same day, Simon recalls.
