Located in an idyllic rural setting on a quiet lane, Oakbale House was converted from a barn in 2005/6. Many examples of the barn's 18th-century origins can be seen in its array of character features, including magnificent vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. The barn has been converted to a very high standard, with features such as underfloor heating, whole house ventilation system with heat recovery and a security alarm system. The vast, open plan living space is at the heart of the home, providing a fabulous space for entertaining; it is zoned into areas for cooking, dining and relaxing, and has two large Atrium windows which make the space feel fantastically light and airy. A feature staircase rises from the central living area to the first floor and is complemented by oak flooring.

The layout has a degree of flexibility, with ground floor bedrooms which could be repurposed as additional reception rooms if desired. The ground floor comprises the main kitchen/family room, a dining hall , a utility room and shower room. The large principal bedroom is situated in its own wing and has a fabulous dressing area with fitted wardrobes, and en suite bath/shower room, and there is a further en suite guest bedroom on the opposite side of the house and a further bedroom which could equally be used as a study or snug. Upstairs there is mezzanine gallery and two additional en suite bedrooms, one with an external staircase to the garden.
