A barn conversion is where an agricultural building is altered to serve a different purpose. Lots of barns conversion projects involve converting an old barn into one or more homes. However, barns can also be converted into other types of commercial building, like offices.
Battersea
Battersea is a residential district of south London inside the London Borough of Wandsworth. It's 2.9 miles south west of Charing Cross. The district has one of southwest London’s principal parks, Battersea Park.
In 2001, Battersea had a citizenry of 75,651, but by 2011 the number stood at 73,345, noting a modest reduction. There is a significant area of public housing estates built in the mid-20th century, virtually all situated north of the main railway lines from Fairfield to Queenstown. There are four substantially large estates; Surrey Lane Estate towards the north, Doddington and Rollo Estate, Patmore Estate towards the east and the Winstanley Estate, which is recognised for being the birthplace of the garage collective So Solid Crew.
You will find many notable landmarks in Battersea, one of which is the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. Prior to that, the Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs was based in Battersea just after moving from Holloway in 1871. Other landmarks consist of the New Covent Garden Market, a major fruit and vegetable wholesale market, plus the now disused Battersea Power Station which was built between 1929 and 1939. There have been many redevelopment projects since the 1980s to make the station into an entertainment and commercial complex, but thus far all attempts failed.
