This Grade II listed barn conversion offers spacious five-bedroom accommodation across about 2,150 sq ft, set in a private hamlet position with screened formal gardens and long driveway parking for up to five cars. The conversion retains period character—vaulted ceilings and full-height windows—while providing modern comforts including underfloor heating to the ground floor and a generous open-plan kitchen/breakfast/dining area that opens to the rear garden.
The principal bedroom benefits from a vaulted ceiling, walk-in wardrobe and en suite; bedrooms two and three share a Jack-and-Jill en suite, suited to family living. A former double garage has been converted to a games/family room, offering flexible space for children, a home gym or media room. The property is freehold and sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for remote working.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listed status: alterations will be restricted and require Listed Building Consent, which can add time and cost to improvements. The driveway is shared with a neighbouring barn and Wootton House, and the council tax is described as quite expensive. The conversion is well-maintained but, as with older listed buildings, ongoing specialist maintenance can be needed.
Overall, this home suits a growing family seeking character, flexible living space and a large private plot in a quiet village setting. It offers good nearby schools, convenient amenities and strong connectivity, balanced against the practicalities and costs of owning a listed building.
