A Traditional Barn is Designed with Horses & Hosting in Mind

A beautiful horse barn offers a place to entertain and enjoy its equine residents.

A traditional horse barn by B&D Builders

Situated in idyllic Wilmington, Delaware a horse barn built in 2016 by B&D Builders was thoughtfully designed with a lower level for the horses and a second floor loft designed with hosting in mind. The hybrid timber-frame barn is a 38’ x 62’ building with a 10’ x 60’ open lean-to porch. The lean-to porch, custom cedar doors, HardiePlank siding, and standing-seam metal roof give the exterior a welcoming, traditional feel, perfect for its tranquil surroundings.

With a total of 2,300 square footage, the 6-stall barn is extremely spacious. The barn includes a small kitchen, bathroom, tack room with custom lockers, wash rack, and upstairs loft for relaxing and entertaining. Beautiful finishes are found throughout the barn, including elegant lighting from Restoration Hardware and rubber pavers in the center aisle.
