Ed Sheeran bids to convert barns at £1.1million 17th century farm into 'music archive'

Ed Sheeran seeks to renovate six historic barns at his 17th-century farm in Suffolk, England, converting them into storage space for a personal 'music archive.' The 400-year-old Grade II listed property was purchased by the singer two years ago, and recent approval was granted to transform a 19th-century piggery and barn into music studios. Now, he aims to restore the six adjoining barns, some dating back to 1870, while preserving their original structure and rural character. The project includes ecological considerations such as installing bat and bird boxes, bee bricks, and hedgehog-friendly fencing. The local council has approved the plans provided certain conditions are met, including maintaining public access and adhering to environmental guidelines. Renovation efforts have been delayed due to the need to protect endangered Great Crested Newts and the use of manual tools.
