Nigel Hillyard writes about his 17th century barn conversion in Cambridgeshire. Nigel bought and renovated an old farmhouse in 2000. The property came with a few acres and some outbuildings including the barn which he is currently converting into a 4 bed roomed dwelling. He intends to move into it when it is finished in the Summer of 2009.
