In 2004, Paul Lamb opened his restored listed 18th century barn to the public... to
swim in.
Where Paul's grandfather once kept calves has been transformed into a 100
square metre heated swimming pool available for exclusive use.
The pool is located in a range of 18th century listed barns at Smallburgh Road,
Barton Turf in a building that has had various uses ranging from rearing calves to
storing farm produce, but which became redundant in the 1990s.
A sympathetic and unique conversion has been carried out which has enabled all
the original red brick construction, the pantile roof, and the original beams to be
retained.
The pool is unusually large for a time-share complex, measuring 16.6 metres long,
6 metres wide and a uniform 1.2 metres deep – giving a very generous surface
area of almost exactly 100 square metres (or 1070 square feet). It is, therefore,
highly suited to those seeking to improve their fitness levels, and, for training
purposes, for the more serious swimmers who need to know what distances they
have accomplished – 3 lengths of the pool equals 50 metres, 6 lengths 100 metres,
and so on.
Timeshare swimming means that the facilities are yours exclusively for your slot...
*
no noisy children
*
no splashing
*
no crowds
.... just you and your privacy!
The facilities are wheelchair friendly, and while there is no mechanical hoist at the
moment, we hope to install one in the future.
