Get in touch
A grain silo is a cylindrical agricultural structure, traditionally used for the storage of grain and other crops in bulk. They are typically made from corrugated steel, which offers protection from the elements.
The original purpose of a grain silo is for the storage of grain and other produce harvested on agricultural farms, keeping the produce in a good condition to be used at a later date.
You can see thousands of grain silos around the UK, most of which are used for agricultural purposes, some of which are abandoned due to farms closing, moving or diversifying, and some of which have been converted for other uses. These uses include homes and office spaces.
Renting a converted grain silo is not as utilitarian as it sounds. Grain silo conversions are designed with all the modern amenities for comfort and aestheticism, and renting one for your home or small business comes with many advantages. One of these advantages is the scenic, rural location of the silo – a great appeal for your business.

Whilst popular structures, grain silo conversions open to lease are few and far between in the UK. However, at KinverPoint Business Village, we have three grain silo conversions available for flexible workspace leasing.
Converted grain silos are popular for a number of reasons. They offer a unique architectural aesthetic, which is made more accessible for start-up businesses due to the lower rent compared to cities. The conversion aspect also means silo offices are newly renovated and modern.
In both senses of the word ‘flexible office space’, office grain silo conversions are flexible. The open plan layout of the office means the office space itself is flexible, whilst the leases provided by KinverPoint Business Village are created for flexible office leasing. This means our grain silos are adaptable to the needs of your business.

Considerations for a Grain Silo Conversion
Whilst it may be love at first sight, there are some factors to grain silo office leasing that you should consider before making a move.
The size and shape of the structure. Grain silos are cylindrical in shape, meaning you’ll have to adapt to a non-traditional office floor plan. Grain silos are also limited by their size – whilst they are perfect for start-up and small companies, larger companies may struggle. KinverPoint’s grain silos are fully furnished to make this transition as smooth as possible, enabling your team to get to work straight away.
Location. Location is often the selling point for silo offices, and at KinverPoint this is no different. Our beautiful, countryside location attracts workers because of the peace and quiet; however, office space in the countryside comes with some challenges alongside the many benefits.
Challenges and positives of working from a rural area. Working in a rural area can come with some challenges compared to city living, such as reduced footfall, a smaller pool of employees, and fewer amenities. However, this is overshadowed for many thanks to the reduced cost of living, better working conditions, and lower office rent.
Keeping things simple
A large part of the appeal of the Kinver Point grain silos is the simplicity of the solution they offer. As well as our flexible leasing model, the team at Kinver Point handles the management of aspects such as utilities, window cleaning, all maintenance and repairs, and ultra-fast broadband, meaning the grain silo chosen by any business is ready to start operating on the very day that business moves in.
