Exceptional barn conversions
In the rural parish of Chignal, Essex, lies Kilnfield Barns, an exceptional development of 8 barn conversions finished to a very high standard. Having sold 5 of the properties the developer, the devloper secured a Development Exit Loan from MSP Capital on the remaining 3 completed properties, allowing them to refinance at a competitive rate and move onto the next project.
The luxury barn conversions each contain over 3,000sq ft of accommodation and feature oak timber frames, vaulted ceilings, bespoke handmade kitchens with walk-in pantries and 4 bedrooms. Attention to detail is such that the grain of the woodwork has been matched and the paint colours coordinate with the marble bathrooms. Set within 5.4 acres, each property benefits from parking, car ports, garages and rear gardens with views over open fields. The grounds include shared meadows, ponds and courtyards.
Peaceful yet convenient location
The development is situated a convenient 3 miles from Chelmsford in Essex, with Chelmsford station being only a ten-minute drive. This gives access to London (30 mins), the area also has good road links and Stansted Airport is only 17 miles away. With opportunities for a rich and varied lifestyle, Chelmsford offers an attractive and unrivalled fusion of urban convenience and traditional rural Essex charm.
Tailored financial solutions
The Development Exit Bridge is an ideal product for this scenario, allowing developers to release equity from a completed project. This buys time while they wait for the right buyer. The developer secured a £2.5m loan on Kilnfield Barns in October 2025. The developer has used MSP Capital in the past to secure a Ground Up Development loan at the start of the project.

The developer chose MSP Capital because they had worked with us previously and ‘the experience was excellent. The process was smooth, communication was clear, and they were flexible and pragmatic throughout. They took the time to understand the asset and our strategy, and were genuinely accommodating in finding the right solutions.’
‘The refinance allowed us to release capital from the completed assets, reduce the overall cost of finance (better rates than other lenders on the market). It improved cashflow, reduced pressure on timelines, lowered the monthly cost, and gave us greater certainty and flexibility moving forward.’
‘MSP Capital were flexible, quick to act, and genuinely easy to work with. They offered great rates, communicated clearly throughout, and delivered the refinance smoothly from start to finish.’
