Grade II Listed Farmhouse Workshop Extension

Location: Canterbury, Kent
Architect: Matthew Kettle
Architecture: Crafted Oak‑Framed Garage & Professional Workshop

GYD Architects designed and delivered this spacious Barn Workshop and Home Office in Canterbury, Kent, giving our client a professional, fully equipped setting to run his carpentry business without leaving home. The new Barn Workshop is discreetly connected to the existing Grade II listed farmhouse via the client’s Home Office, allowing seamless movement between the house, office and workshop.

The oak‑framed Barn Workshop provides a generous open space engineered to accommodate large woodworking machinery and specialist carpentry equipment. Wide double doors open directly to the countryside and the driveway, ensuring easy access for materials, deliveries and day‑to‑day workflow. The arrangement creates a highly functional, well‑organised working environment while respecting the character and setting of the historic farmhouse.
