Set on a plot approaching six acres (subject to land survey), Brooklands View is a detached converted agricultural barn offering sheltered rural living with unusually generous grounds. The single-storey layout includes an open-plan lounge/kitchen and two bedrooms, each with an en-suite — a practical, low-stairs home for downsizers or buyers seeking a rural retreat.
Built in 2022 with a steel-framed metal building converted to residential use, the property benefits from double glazing, electric underfloor heating and the remainder of a builders’ 10-year warranty (issued 2025). The attached 28' x 15'7" garage/workshop with roller door provides significant storage, hobby or small-business space, and the gated driveway yields ample off-street parking and vehicle turnaround.
The massive plot creates real potential — garaging, equestrian uses, gardens or other development are possibilities subject to planning permission. Practical points to note: the construction is non-standard (steel frame/metal cladding), the EPC is rated E, heating is electric (boiler and underfloor), and broadband speeds are very slow. These factors affect running costs, mortgage/insurance options and any future development or conversion plans, so buyers should obtain specialist advice and surveys.
Offered freehold and chain-free, the home is presented with a ready-to-move-in feel but with clearly stated limitations: some appliances and services are untested, and any change of use or building work will require planning consent. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the grounds, layout and opportunity this rare plot provides.
