Longchamp is a beautifully presented five-bedroom barn conversion set within a gated development of sympathetically converted barns. The house blends original character — exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and an exposed brick fireplace — with contemporary fittings including a bespoke shaker kitchen, island, Neff appliances and underfloor heating to the ground floor. Bifold doors open from the kitchen/diner onto a stone patio and large lawned garden with wide countryside views.
Accommodation is arranged over two storeys with two downstairs bedrooms and three upstairs; the principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite and a small private courtyard. Practical features include a separate utility, good understairs storage, a garage in a shared block with electric and eaves storage, parking for 4–5 cars on a gravel drive, EV charging point and a Klargesson sewage system. The property is freehold and offered chain free.
Notable running costs and local considerations are clear: an annual service charge of £600 (below average) contributes to communal maintenance, council tax is described as quite expensive, and the area records higher crime levels than average. The shared garage and estate layout mean communal upkeep and neighbourly management apply. The Klargesson sewage system will require the usual maintenance for non-mains drainage setups.
This home will suit families seeking character with modern comforts and easy motorway links; it also offers potential for buyers who value outdoor space and countryside views. Viewers should note the higher local crime statistics and factor the council tax and ongoing service/maintenance obligations into their decision.
