A one-of-a-kind six-bedroom barn conversion set around former hop kilns, offering dramatic vaulted living spaces, exposed beams and galleried landings. The bespoke kitchen with island, pantry and adjacent breakfast area anchors family life, while a double-height living room and formal dining room provide exceptional entertaining space. The property sits in very large, mature gardens with orchard, vegetable beds, pond and a secluded patio — private and scenic in a peaceful rural setting.
Practical sustainability features include 16 solar panels, three battery units and a 7 kW EV charger, plus ample off‑street parking and an oak-framed carport. The house is gas‑free: heating is from an oil boiler and a bunded 2,500-litre tank; mains electricity and a sub‑metered water supply are in place. The layout is flexible with a sunroom studio, mezzanine, balcony off the master and multiple reception rooms, suited to family, guest or home‑working needs.
Buyers should note some practical constraints: the building is historic (pre‑1900) with stone walls assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, and the main heating is oil — both factors affecting running costs and retrofit options. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and council tax is band G (described as quite expensive). The house has two bathrooms and one ensuite, so larger households may want to add facilities or reconfigure space.
Overall this property will suit buyers seeking character, space and rural privacy who value architectural interest and gardens over low‑maintenance modernity. There is clear potential to personalise or upgrade services (insulation, additional bathrooms, improved connectivity) to create a long‑term family home or a distinctive countryside retreat.
