Residential Extension, Barn Conversion and Glazed Link, Bishopthorpe, York

Working alongside Leeds‑based architects ArkleBoyce, CG Building & Restoration Ltd delivered a series of high‑quality renovation, extension and conversion works to this private residential property in Bishopthorpe, York. The scheme combined contemporary architectural elements with traditional materials to enhance the home’s layout, functionality and connection between the main house and the converted barn.

A new rear extension was constructed with a zinc roof and Crittall steel‑framed windows and doors, creating additional living and dining space off the newly fitted kitchen. The extension also included new zinc gutters and downpipes to complement the modern aesthetic and ensure long‑term durability.

CG Building & Restoration constructed a new glazed link featuring aluminium windows, doors and a rooflight, with a single‑ply roof system. This link provides a seamless transition between the entrance porch and the converted barn, improving circulation and creating a visually striking connection between the two buildings.

The barn conversion included a newly built limestone gable and the installation of European crown‑cut external cladding to the exterior. A new green oak trussed roof was constructed, providing a robust and characterful structure. The conversion created a new photography dark room and a guest bedroom with ensuite facilities.

Internally, a new family bathroom and ensuites were installed, along with polished concrete floors to the kitchen, extension and glazed link. A bespoke European crown‑cut oak staircase and matching door sets were fitted, complemented by new skirtings and architraves with shadow‑gap detailing. The property was then redecorated throughout to complete the transformation.

This project showcases our expertise in residential extensions, barn conversions, glazed links, zinc roofing, Crittall steel windows, polished concrete floors and high‑quality internal joinery across York and the wider Yorkshire region.
