Grade II listed, detached barn conversion of about 2800 square feet
The Barn is a Grade II Listed conversion which dates back to the mid-17th century and offers a blend of character and contemporary living.
Approached via a private driveway, the barn immediately impresses with its striking traditional elevations and enduring architectural appeal. Beyond the front door, the accommodation unfolds into a series of wonderfully atmospheric spaces, where exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings and traditional tiled flooring serve as a constant reminder of the property's rich agricultural heritage.
At the heart of the home lies a magnificent open-plan sitting and dining room. A superb vaulted ceiling showcases the impressive original timber framework, whilst a substantial floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace with wood-burning stove forms a welcoming focal point. The adjacent dining area provides an excellent setting for both everyday family life and formal entertaining, offering a natural flow through to the kitchen beyond.
The kitchen is both practical and characterful, fitted with an attractive range of traditional cabinetry complemented by granite work surfaces. Exposed beams from the former stables add warmth and authenticity, whilst a breakfast bar creates an informal space for dining and gathering. Doors open directly onto the south-facing courtyard, allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend seamlessly during the warmer months. A separate utility room provides valuable ancillary space and helps ensure the kitchen remains both functional and uncluttered.
Particularly noteworthy is the flexibility of the ground floor accommodation. Occupying a more private wing of the property is a versatile suite currently arranged as a family room, garden room, bedroom, shower room and separate WC. This area could easily serve as a guest annexe, multi-generational living space, home office suite or fourth bedroom accommodation, subject to individual requirements. Bi-folding doors open onto the courtyard, whilst views across the rear garden further enhance its appeal.
A galleried first-floor landing, presently utilised as a study area, provides an attractive vantage point from which to appreciate the full scale and character of the barn. Two generously proportioned bedrooms are arranged on this floor, each benefiting from en suite facilities. One bedroom is further enhanced by fitted wardrobes, whilst the other enjoys excellent natural light through twin rooflights.
Outside
The property is approached via a gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles as well as secure parking with the garages.
A south-facing courtyard provides a sheltered and space for outdoor cooking, entertaining and relaxation. The lawned gardens create a wonderful backdrop and opportunities for families to enjoy the outdoors.
For purchasers seeking additional outdoor space, a parcel of adjoining land extending to approximately 0.66 acres (stms) is available by separate negotiation. Offering excellent potential for use as an extended garden, paddock or amenity land, it presents an increasingly rare opportunity to further enhance the overall package.
