United KingdomEd 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.
