Set within a small, gated development in sought-after Preston village, this Grade II Lutyens-style barn conversion blends historic character with contemporary living. The property offers a very spacious open-plan reception and modern kitchen, two bedrooms (master with en-suite) and a separate WC — arranged over approximately 1,375 sq ft of accommodation. High-specs include double glazing and underfloor heating served by a ground-source heat pump, reducing day-to-day heating reliance on electricity alone.
Practical strengths include two allocated off-street parking spaces, multiple visitor bays and a large external storage cupboard of about 10 m² — rare for comparable properties. Communal gardens are well maintained and contribute to the peaceful, village atmosphere. The long lease (c. 987–994 years remaining) and peppercorn ground rent give long-term security, and the property is sold chain free for a quicker move.
Important considerations are factual and material: the property’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate renovation or extension plans. It is leasehold with an average service charge of c. £2,600 per year. Broadband speeds are reported as slow in the area, which may affect home working. While the conversion is well maintained, buyers should confirm the condition of original features and services, and check any listing-related consents before planning changes.
