Brands Farm Barn is a striking Grade II listed 17th-century timber barn, converted in 2013 and presented as a substantial, turnkey country home set in just over 6.5 acres. The long, linear plan offers generous reception space — a grand drawing room and sitting room divided by a working fireplace, four further reception rooms and an exceptional kitchen/breakfast room with island. High, beamed ceilings and large glazed elevations flood the interior with light while formal terraces and extensive lawns sit within mature, sheltered grounds backing onto open fields.
The house provides six bedroom suites (five on the ground floor), flexible ancillary accommodation and a large refurbished former agricultural barn currently used for storage or hobbies — ideal for vintage-car storage, a games room or other leisure use (subject to any necessary consents). Practical features include a four-bay cart lodge, gated gravel forecourt with ample turning/parking, hard-wired sound and security systems, and nearby village facilities reachable on foot.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which protects its character but will restrict some alterations and may complicate works; planning or listed-building consent will be required for structural changes or significant conversions. Broadband speeds are very slow, so streaming/remote working will require alternatives (satellite or upgraded solutions). Council tax is described as quite expensive. EPC is exempt due to listed status.
This is a premium rural home for buyers seeking privacy, generous internal space and substantial grounds with equestrian or leisure potential. The recent renovation delivers modern comforts while retaining authentic barn character — appealing to families, multi-generational households or purchasers seeking a country retreat with room for hobbies and storage.
