The Granary at Treribble, Hertfordshire is part of a formal group built around 1730.  The building may have originally been a cider house but was adapted as a granary in the 19th century and latterly used as an animal shed.

  

Being disused it was in danger of becoming derelict and destroying the symmetry of the building group.  The Trust wanted to show it could create a satisfactory dwelling house without destroying intrinsic features.

  

Existing door and window openings were kept and two new windows were positioned so as to maintain the barn-like appearance of the western facade.  Finishes and details were kept simple in keeping with the agricultural origins.
