Hereford barn conversion pairs oak flooring with UFH

A brand-new barn conversion in Holmer, Herefordshire recently entered the property market with a guide price of £625,000. 

The luxurious home has four bedrooms and is one of 10 brand-new and exclusive converted residences in the area. Designed to offer a high standard of modern living in a semi-rural setting, the well-appointed home has been finished and fitted with an eye for detail.

As a result, it features the latest home technology deployed to great effect, like kitchens designed by Howdens with quartz counters, SMEG appliances and EV charging points. However, to create a sense of pastoral charm, the home features open plan living spaces and exposed kingpost timber beams.

Maximising available space in the barn conversion, an underfloor heating system has been installed beneath the wooden floor coverings. Many homebuyers are unaware that underfloor heating can work exceptionally well with wooden flooring; however, as is the case in the Holmer home, engineered wood boards are a better option than solid wood flooring.

The multi-layered construction of engineered wood involves a top layer of solid timber combined with other types of wood, which allow floorboards to cope well with fluctuations in temperatures as underfloor heating systems warm up and cool down respectively.

Finding the right underfloor heating system to match your dream floor choice isn’t always easy, but you can depend on our knowledgeable team at FastWarm for strong support.
