If you’re considering converting a barn or buying one, you shouldn’t need to worry about it being cold. This is because building regulations dictate that when you convert a barn, you need to insulate it to meet specific standards. However, it’s worth considering its heating system and ceiling heights carefully – some barn conversions are likely to take longer and be more expensive to heat up than others.
Fulham
Fulham is a district within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London. It is 3.7 miles south-west from Charing Cross, making it an Inner London district. It is on the north bank of the River Thames, in between Hammersmith and Kensington and Chelsea, facing Putney and Barnes. Formerly, it had been a parish in the county of Middlesex. It is identified in the London Plan as on the list of 35 major centres in Greater London.
Fulham's history of industrial enterprise goes back to the 15th century, with its Mill at Millshot on the south side of what is now Fulham Palace Road. There was also a pottery, tapestry-weaving, paper-making and brewing industry in the 17th and 18th centuries in the region of what is now generally known as Fulham High Street. The following two hundred years had been known for energy production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries.
For the first half of the 20th century, Fulham remained largely working class with pockets of wealth at the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King's Road. Especially wealthy locations were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park and the location surrounding the Hurlingham Club. The region attracted waves of immigration, and swift changes meant that there was poverty - Charles Dickens and Charles Booth noted this, and there were poorhouses that attracted benefactors.
Right now, Fulham is rated as one of the most pricey parts of London and also the UK overall. The typical sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 - and is most likely to be a great deal more now.
