This Carriage Barn House Has Us Seeing Red (In A Good Way)

  • 4 min read


Country homes are charming, especially barn-style homes that have their own charm. The Bennington Carriage House is from Yankee Barn Homes in Grantham, New Hampshire. Each home is unique and has its own style. This particular home is a carriage-house with a garage on the main level and a great living space upstairs. The home was designed to accommodate three cars and a half-bathroom. They added large gable windows and two large gable dormers to the upper-level to let in lots of light and create a feeling of light and airiness. The main living area is 1,142 square feet in size, which allows the owners to feel both comfortable and cozy. The exterior features include beautiful red siding. It is not as bright as a traditional barn’s red. Instead of the traditional gambrel roof, which is common to regular barns and gives the home a grand appearance, they chose a peaked roofline with dormers in its centre and a bell tower at its top. The landscaping surrounding this home is stunning and perfectly complements the Victorian style barn home.

This barn’s interior is finished with a Douglas fir beam and post structure, giving it a neo Victorian feel. The home’s exposed beams add warmth and style. The living area of the barn home is combined with the dining and kitchen areas to create a great open space. The designers managed to make the most of the space, despite the fact that the ceilings are angled. The kitchen has small windows at the countertop height, as well as stainless steel appliances. There are plenty of cabinets to store your items and a built-in wine rack. The large bedroom on the opposite side of the house has great windows that open up to the stunning scenery. The bathroom is very luxurious and features a glassed in shower with tiles. What more could you want in a carriage barn home! This could make a great starter home for a couple or family who just bought a piece of land. It could also be used as a guest house or rental home.

Barns are built in the United States from timbers hewn directly from trees. Barn homes can be built from scratch or from old barns that have been renovated and used to make homes. Yankee Barn Homes is an American custom post and beam home builder who specializes in classic American architecture. This includes classic farmhouses, barn-style houses, coastal cottages, mountain log lodges, and lakeside log retreats. They can build a full timber frame barn structure or a hybrid barn. They love creating barn homes that are different from others, incorporating their personal style and customer preferences into the design and construction. This design is great if you are looking to build a barn home.
