Set in almost 3 acres of land and approached through automated gates, this converted barn blends rustic character with modern comfort. The ground floor centers on a bespoke open-plan kitchen/living/dining space with stone flag floors, a central island, integrated appliances and underfloor heating — designed for sociable family life and entertaining. Two living rooms, a dedicated home office and useful utility/boot room add practical daily living space.
Upstairs offers four double bedrooms, including a principal suite with luxury en suite, plus a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and a further en suite to bedroom four. Outbuildings include a workshop and two stables with light and power, a paddock of c.2.72 acres and a timber summer house — strong appeal for equestrian buyers or those seeking extensive private grounds.
Important practical details: the property runs on oil-fired central heating (boiler installed September 2024), has no mains gas or mains drainage (sewage treated by an on-site treatment plant last emptied July 2024), and broadband speeds are slow. There are covenants on the title, an overage clause affecting further development of the land, and a neighbouring drainage pipe crossing part of the land that the neighbour may maintain or replace. Council Tax band F is costly and should be factored into running costs.
This is a well-presented rural home for buyers wanting country living within commuting distance of the Midlands motorway network. Viewing is recommended for families, equestrian owners or anyone seeking generous outdoor space paired with a thoughtfully renovated barn conversion.
