Antiques expert Jane Cave who stars in BBC show The Bidding Room puts her converted barn on the market for £1.1million
A stunning barn conversion renovated by TV antiques expert Jane Cave has gone on the market for £1.1million.
East Barn in Norfolk was derelict when Ms Cave, star of the BBC’s The Bidding Room, and her partner bought it in August last year.
They saw the potential to transform it into a stylish family home and spent 12 months and £500,000 doing so.
Her partner, Ed Masters, handled the building work while antiques expert Ms Cave took care of the interiors.
The couple turned the run-down barn from an empty shell into a five-bedroom house, which they have now put up for sale with estate agents Jackson-Stops.

‘When we bought the barn it didn’t have a floor or anything, it was literally a shell’
Ms Cave said: ‘When we bought the barn it didn’t have a floor or anything, it was literally a shell.
‘I’m really good at the ‘this is a room, how can I fill it’ but my partner Ed is the one with the building skills. He put it in the mezzanine floor and the bedrooms upstairs, the staircase, everything.
‘Once we had a house I did the room colours and furniture and all the interior design elements. I had a fairly clear vision of what I wanted to do once I had seen the rooms and space we had.
‘It was always a project we were doing to sell on and hopefully it will be a wonderful home for a family soon.’
Ms Cave started her career as a PA for the chief executive of Christie’s auction house before launching her own antique store, the Deco Cave, and has become an acclaimed interiors and antiques expert.
