Barns of the Yorkshire Dales |
Barns Of The Yorkshire Dales - History, Preservation and Grand Design
by Andy Singleton and David Joy
(Foreword Bill Bryson)
Price: £12.99 (24% off list price)
Hardback / Full colour 160 pages
Great Northern Books
See our recommended list of books for all the inspiration you need to convert a barn.
|
The Yorkshire Dales have literally thousands of barns scattered among the fields and villages. Many have seen better days others have undergone dramatic transformations. This book falls into two distinct halves, representing the diverse interests of its authors. David Joy, from Upper Wharfedale farming stock, knows many individual barns at first hand. He portrays a year in the life of a typical barn and puts the subject in perspective with a profile of each barn on the Wharfedale farm that he owns. In the second part, Andy Singleton, an experienced builder in the Dales who has worked on many barn conversions, then covers the construction methods and materials that were used to build barns and explains in detail how they can be converted into dwellings. The practical information is complemented by case studies of some of the most successful conversions, which make the book essential reading for anyone contemplating this adventurous but rewarding exercise. Plans and photographs - both archive and specially commissioned - complete a truly fascinating work that breaks completely new ground.

Barn for sale?
Barnsetc is the number one website in the UK for the buying and selling of barns with 40,048 unique visitors in March 2010 alone (almost 3 million hits for those who count in hits!).
Selling your barn is as easy as 1-2-3 - and the one flat fee of £89 (no commission, no hidden extras!) gets you a unique webpage to advertise your details and up to five photos on the website. Click here to get started!
Already using an estate agent?
A large number of people who list their property with Barnsetc also market it via an estate agent. Indeed, estate agents themselves regularly use Barnsetc to help market property. If you sell a property privately through Barnsetc (where you handle all enquiries and do not refer them to your estate agent), whether or not you will still be liable to pay an estate agent a commission will depend on your contract with your estate agent. Click here to find out more.
The best £89 I've ever spent!
"Fantastic service - generated many enquiries and ultimately sold our barns! Just wish we would have found you sooner! I recommend this site 100%. Thank you very much!"
Mrs L. Mclean, Liverpool
"I'm pleased to report that thanks to the advert we placed with Barnsetc for our barn frame we have just sold it to someone in West Sussex.
We never advertised it anywhere else and were delighted with the level of interest - which just shows how popular your site has become. Many thanks."
M. Skipper, Norfolk
Looking back, we can't believe we ever hesitated in listing. We got ten times more viewings from your site than with the estate agent and found our buyer too. I've been singing your praises to everyone who'll listen. Thank you so much."
Jane S., Yorkshire
"Your site is amazing - We had so many enquiries and found our buyers within 12 hours of it going back on the market! A big gold star for barnsetc.co.uk!!!!"
V. Corbett,
Gwent
"The response we had from Barnsetc was fantastic. We had many enquiries,
lots of viewings and sold to a buyer who had seen the property on your site.
Compared to the 1.5% the estate agents wanted, the £89 was terrific value.
Thanks for all your help."
M. Edgar, Lincolnshire
"Just to let you know we exchanged contracts on the barn this weekend (the purchaser was introduced through your site). This is a difficult time with property sales, so we also had it on with an agent. However the enquiries and viewings generated through your site outstripped the agent by about ten to one!"
Bernard, Hertfordshire
"Just to let you know, we completed on the sale of our barn last Thursday.
The new owners sold their last property in Kent via your website too!
If we ever decide to do it all again we'll most definitely use your site again, it saved us a
fortune!"
N. Smith, Cambridgeshire
"I thoroughly recommend using a company such as Barns Etc. It seemed we got serious purchasers who
knew what they were looking for through yourselves. Thank you for a
fabulous and straight forward easy to use service."
Mr and Mrs Archer, Herts
"Yesterday we accepted an offer on the barn from a buyer generated through your site! Thank you so much for the help and the exposure - it is interesting that in these times when
Estate Agents are all selling their "Proactive Selling Policies", your website - niche - well put together - is what works!"
R. Longstaff, Lincs
"I just want to say a big thank you for helping me sell my property for what was a very modest investment.
I had loads of enquiries from day one but was looking for someone who was not in a chain. In the end I had three offers and sold quickly.
I must have saved around 10k on agents fees!
I also had agents phone trying to sell me their services. However without a doubt you have the number one barn site in the UK and a bargain service that delivers first class results. Many many thanks for a superb service."
M. Clintergate, Norfolk
"We had listed our barn with a High Street Estate Agent as well as Barns Etc and received more enquiries through Barns Etc than the estate agents. In the end we sold via Barns Etc saving us £1000s in estate agent's fees . . . I was very impressed with the service and the professionalism, best £89 we've ever spent!"
I. Sweet, Herts
"I just wanted to let you know that we have sold our barn thanks to your website. We completed 2 weeks ago; I wish we had used it before we did, but never mind! It was the best £89 I have ever spent!"
J. Saunders, West Midlands
"I have sold and have to say that the listing of my premises on the Barns Etc site is in my opinion the most effective media available - thank you!"
L. Venn, Hertfordshire
"I just wanted to let you know that you have had another success! We completed on Friday following a response
to the advert on your website. Having had the property on with an
agent for 7 months prior to posting the advert with Barns Etc and
taking into account the state of the market at the moment we think
that it is very impressive! The advertisement had been on your site
for less than 3 weeks when the enquiry came in."
K. Bailey, Berkshire
"We have now completed the sale of our barn conversion and although it did not sell through Barnsetc we would like to thank you very much for listing it. We had a lot of enquiries and would happily use your site again should the need arise and will also recommend it to others."
R. Lacey, Sussex
"Great news, the barn has now sold.
This was sold via a lead from your site and you achieved what local agents could not.
Many thanks again."
J. Paxton, Cheshire

"We have already sold our barn to the first person that came to view! The barn has been for sale with a local estate agent since September and I have not had anything from them at all. Just goes to show that your website really does work!"
Donna H., Lancashire
"I am pleased to tell you that I sold my barn through your site. We had two offers and accepted practically the asking price."
David S., Cheshire
"Although the sale finally originated from a local Estate Agent, it is fair to say that we received far more enquiries from your site than through all of the combined three Estate Agents that we used."
M. Harding, Norfolk
"We have rented the barns! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your
help. We have had to turn away four more people and that was in the first two
weeks! Your site is a great success."
N. Adams, Warwickshire
"Thank you very much for a value for money listing. The response was overwhelming and we completed the sale today. I would not hesitate to recommend your site."
R. & G. Johnson, Carmarthenshire
"I am delighted to let you know as a result of your excellent web site we have today accept an offer - full asking price!"
T. Powis, Kent
"We
had a huge response from our Barns etc page and even when our
property was under offer were still receiving enquiries. Even though
we have bought another barn, I still can't help but look at your site
each day to see what new treasures are there."
K. & J. Williams, Hertfordshire
"We have sold our barn to the first people who viewed it a day after it was on the site. Since then we have been besieged with offers!"
M. Pirie, Hampshire
"I am very pleased to tell you that our barn has been sold.
Not only did we receive a full price offer within the first four days, but, in consequence of it appearing on your website, a feature article on our barn will be appearing in the county magazine, Sussex Life."
A. Hoare, West Sussex
"I am happy to inform you that I exchanged contracts on the Barn today. You will be just as happy to know that the sale was via your website. I received an offer on the barn in the 1st week of February which in reality was just over 2 weeks after I had put my barn up for sale on your site."
Ron Walker, Lincolnshire
"Thanks to your fabulous website we exchanged contracts today!"
J. and S. Moore, Wiltshire
"Thanks to Barns Etc. we sold our barn. It was the easiest house sale we’ve ever had."
M. Barton, Cheshire
"We would like to thank you for your help and to say we have had in the region of 450 enquiries and even though we completed the sale on Friday we have still been getting emails and phone calls. What a fantastic site you have. We are constantly singing your praises and would recommend you to anyone who wants to sell a barn."
Ian and Michelle, Lincolnshire
"The response through your website has been fantastic - we could
probably have sold the barn many times over!"
K. Purver, Essex
"I am pleased to inform you that we exchanged contracts, completed and moved out of the barn last Friday. I am still receiving enquiries via email! Your site is excellent at generating viewings and we have recommended it to other barn owners."
J. Mills, Hertfordshire
"I am absolutely delighted with your company's service. I still continued to receive
genuine enquiries after the barn was marked up as sold subject to contract and
your organisation when we started was excellent. A nice change in
business today."
M. Younger, Shropshire
"I had a great response to the barn advert from your website. We now have a wonderful family there and are very happy."
G. Davies, Warwickshire
"We are very pleased to let you know that we have completed on our sale. Thank you for an excellent web site. We had a fairly constant stream of enquires over the time it was displayed which resulted in a sale."
M. Cheshire, Buckinghamshire
"Thanks again for all your help in finding us our buyer."
M. Humphrey, Hampshire
"The response received from your website has been very good. The purchaser of the barn
enquired only 48 hours of you placing the barn on your site, viewed one
day later, and an offer was accepted only 5 days after the barn being listed."
C. Browning, Suffolk
"We had a great response - over 100 emails and
about 90 phone calls."
B. Walton, Cumbria
"Just wanted to inform you that I have now sold the barn. After putting it on
your website it was under offer within 2 weeks and has just exchanged.
Did the calculations and actually saved myself £5,188.50."
L. Beatty, Kent
"We sold to a couple who came via your site and we exchanged contracts with them yesterday.
I would certainly recommend you and use you again!"
Tim Elkins, Gloucestershire
"We have had hundreds of enquiries and I
can honestly say advertising the barn with you was the best thing we could have
done. It is great to have a website where
you can reach so many people who are solely interested in purchasing barns. It
completely cuts out a large majority of the timewasters you would otherwise get
advertising on a general property website."
K. Mantle, Cornwall
"Thanks to your
brill website we have accepted an offer on our property - we have had the most
fabulous response."
R. Warrington, Powys
"We completed our sale on our Barn Conversion last week. Unfortunately it
was via an
agent although the response from your website was phenomenal."
N. Smith, Cambs
"Great news! I completed on the barn I had for sale with you on Friday with my buyer using www.barnsetc.co.uk to find the property. The best £89.00 I have spent in a very long time!"
M. Boyce, Suffolk
"Barnsetc.co.uk is a
great site on which to advertise and sell your barn. As a retired London Estate
Agent I was very impressed for two simple reasons; far more enquiries than a
local agent produced with one leading to a very satisfactory sale and all for a
one off registration fee of £89.00."
R. Tydeman, Shropshire
"Thanks to your website we have had over 250 enquiries (with at
least four people willing to gazump our purchasers!) and I am happy to inform
you that the sale is now completed on the barn. Your site is great - we
couldn't have wished for a better response."
C. Stebbing, Cumbria
"Just to let you know we have exchanged contracts on our barn today from
an enquiry through your website. I shall have no hesitation in recommending you
for the future."
L. Curtis, Essex
"Your listing is extremely
effective. I am pursuing a firm sales offer after just a fortnight."
Gerry,
Suffolk
"We have now sold our barn through your website - many thanks.
We have been really pleased with the response and the people who came really suited our unique property."
Gayle and Terry, Northamptonshire
"Your website brought endless interest. I only wish I had put
it on there in the beginning."
Tracey Hayter, Suffolk
"I am very pleased to inform you that I have now sold my barn. Thank you very much for this fantastic opportunity to advertise and sell my property without the big expense of estate agents. Yours is a very good site and I shall certainly recommend it to others."
Terry C., Rutland
"The sale
was actually from an estate agent in the end, but we felt we got just as many
viewings from your website."
Susan Green, Essex
"Thanks to your
great site, my barn is under offer again! We are buying another barn and will
definitely use your site when we eventually sell that one."
M. Ginger,
Hertfordshire
"We accepted an offer within two weeks of placing the
advertisement on Barnsetc.co.uk. It's the best £89 we have ever spent and
will definitely sell through you again."
Andy Moir, Surrey
"Thank you for helping us to sell our barn - we are due to exchange contracts this week. Your site proved to be the right choice for us and has created a lot of interest."
J. Priestner, Cheshire
"The
barns are now sold thanks to your site!"
Bernard W., Suffolk
"Many thanks for all your help - I had a lot of enquiries through your site and
would definitely use it again. I've also recommended it to a lot of people
either looking to buy or wanting to sell."
Louise Krieger, France
"We would have no hesitation in recommending anyone wishing to sell a barn
conversion or unusual building to use your website."
L. Eskdale, Suffolk
"We were pleased with the response and did in fact sell our converted barn
via Barnsetc. We had a steady rate of enquiries and have had 3 or 4 since it's
been under offer!"
S. Gilder, Powys
"Your website has an excellent layout, is user friendly, promotes property
sales in a highly professional manner and, also, encourages positive
feedback from potential buyers."
B. Greenwood, France
"Thank you for selling my barn conversion. We had tried three estate agencies, but the Barnsetc advertisement brought in enquiries from day one and all were of high quality and from all over the world."
T. Light, Lincolnshire
