SIGNET HILL BARNS, BURFORD

Comprising just six individually designed residences, Signet Hill Barns is a truly unique and thoughtfully crafted development nestled in the heart of the picturesque Cotswold countryside. The scheme includes two beautifully restored barn conversions and four sensitively designed new-build dwellings, each tailored to reflect the charm and character of the original farmstead while embracing the comforts and aesthetics of contemporary living.

Working in close collaboration, the architects and Paramount’s structural engineers have successfully retained the essence of the historic agricultural buildings, preserving key architectural features and materials that speak to the site's heritage. At the same time, the design introduces modern touches—such as open-plan layouts, energy-efficient systems, and high-spec finishes—that elevate the homes to meet the expectations of 21st-century country living.

The result is a harmonious blend of old and new, where timeless rural character meets refined modern design. Signet Hill Barns offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle rooted in tradition, enhanced by innovation, and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Cotswolds.
