Villam Developments Ltd specialises in the conversion and renovation of barns and other agricultural, listed, and derelict buildings into beautiful country homes. Founded by Matt Sutton and Chris Taylor, who bring a wealth of experience from architecture, property development, and traditional bricklaying and stonemasonry, the company focuses on meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. They work with local architects and craftspeople to blend practicality with traditional settings, ensuring each conversion is unique and of the highest quality.
Sustainability is a core principle at Villam, with a focus on using natural light, incorporating energy-efficient heating systems like Air Source Heat Pumps, and utilising high-performance insulation. They also prioritise the use of FSC-certified timber and recycle existing materials on-site, such as concrete and subsoil, for landscaping and sub-bases. All employees and sub-contractors live within a 15-mile radius, supporting the local economy.
The company has a proven track record, having previously operated as Sutton & Taylor Landscaping, building, and brickwork specialists. They have completed numerous self-build developments and barn conversions across South Manchester and Cheshire, even winning a Home-building & Renovation Self Build award. Their current focus is on luxury barn conversions, offering bespoke homes with high-specification finishes and modern amenities.
