Plans approved to transform pigsty and stone barn at Black Moss Farm into holiday rentals, preserving the original charm.
They plan to turn a pigsty and stone barn into rentals. The small pigsty seems okay, and they plan to fix it up gently. They will swap out blocks for natural stone, and put in matching windows to keep the original look.
The next pigsty needs more help as it is low quality. They plan to cover it with stone and re-roof it with old slates to match other buildings.
The big stone barn will be two holiday rentals, each with two bedrooms. They will keep and repair the stone walls, reopening the cart opening with glass on the bottom and opaque glass up top.
They will add roof lights for more sunlight. The roof will be slate with insulation. The floor below will be new with insulation, while the upper floor may get fixed or changed out.
This project creates jobs in the country and will help the farm make money. A housekeeper will have a full-time job.
