Builders in Braunton and Croyde

Local builders for Braunton and Croyde

Braunton is one of the largest villages in England and a busy place to live, with demand for extensions, renovations and new homes from Braunton itself out to Croyde and Georgeham.

We're a family-run firm and have been building across North Devon since 2017. You deal with the same people from the first visit to handover.

What we build in and around Braunton and Croyde

• Barn Conversions: Turning old stone and timber barns into warm, modern homes while keeping the character that made them worth saving.
• Class Q Conversions: Converting agricultural buildings to homes under Class Q permitted development, from prior approval through to handover.
• Extensions: Single and two-storey extensions that add space and value, planned so the disruption is no longer than it needs to be.
• New Builds: One-off homes and small developments, from groundworks and foundations to the final fix.
• Self Builds: Building your own home? We can take on as much or as little as you need, from foundations to a full build.
• Design & Build: One team from first sketch to finished building, so nothing gets lost between the drawings and the build.
• Planning & Building Regs: We handle the paperwork too: planning applications, Class Q prior approval and building regulations, start to finish.
• Project Management: Fully managed builds: we run the whole job, from programme and trades to budget, inspections and handover.
• Design & Management: We design your project, handle the applications, then manage the build on your behalf.

Barn conversions in Braunton and Croyde

The design has to respect the coastal landscape, so getting the drawings right matters. We prepare and manage the planning and building regulations applications, then build it. See barn conversions.

Building in Braunton and Croyde: things to know

• The North Devon Coast National Landscape. Saunton, Croyde, Georgeham and the land around Braunton Burrows sit within the National Landscape (formerly AONB). Permitted development rights are reduced there, and Class Q doesn't apply, so more projects need full planning permission.
• Village centre conservation area. The historic core of Braunton is a conservation area, so changes to older properties need more care.
• Flood risk. Parts of Braunton have a history of flooding, so flood risk can affect planning and design on some sites.
• Coastal conditions. Salt air and Atlantic weather near the coast mean choosing materials and detailing that stand up to it.
• Extensions in the village. Many Braunton homes have room for single-storey and kitchen extensions, often under permitted development outside the protected areas.
