Carriage barns

Your carriage awaits – it will be ready to go, any time of the day or night, when housed in a carriage barn. Never de-ice your car again, keeping it warm and safe overnight, and add to the appearance of your home whilst you’re at it. Carriage barns are bespoke and beautiful, enhancing your surroundings.

You can select various usage options, including:

  • Car ports and bays
  • Cat-slide roofs
  • Log stores
  • Storage space
  • Rooms or offices

Helping customers get their perfect carriage barn

We were asked by our existing clients Mr and Mrs Pascal to design and install an oak barn at their Kent home. The project posted many challenges, as they wanted to keep their parking space where the stairs would have been located.

We came up with an innovative solution:

  • We consulted with a structural engineer
  • They designed a bespoke floating staircase and reversed the direction of the stairs
  • This meant the client could park underneath the floating stair platform.

We created a beautiful oak fronted carriage barn, as well as solving a problem for our clients.

Testimonial:

“We undertook a lot of research to find a company that could provide the high-quality building we wanted at a reasonable price. National were very competitive on price and provided an extremely high-quality building.

We had a few challenges with our planning authority, but National helped us along the way and made the whole process run smoothly.  They also dealt with a somewhat challenging site and recommended skilled and reliable builders to carry out the ground works.

Once planning approval had been provided and the groundworks completed, National were able to erect the building quickly. Because we live on a narrow country lane, they even carried the roof down the road!

We are delighted with how our new building looks, as is the Local Conservation Officer and lots of passers-by.”
