This Grade II listed barn conversion sits on over a third of an acre in the village of Tydd St Mary, marrying preserved character with modern eco-technology. Vaulted living spaces with exposed beams and brickwork create dramatic reception rooms, while a large kitchen/family room and an 11.9m lounge/dining room suit family life and entertaining. Built works completed in 2021 deliver contemporary comforts — underfloor heating throughout, air-source heat pump, solar panels with battery storage and EV charging — that reduce running costs and support low-carbon living.
The layout offers four bedrooms, two ensuites and a walk-in wardrobe to the principal suite, plus a home office and generous utility accommodation. Practical outbuildings include a double garage (with EV point) and a single garage/workshop, both with electric roller doors, and a gated gravel drive providing multiple parking spaces. Gardens are private and well-kept with paved patios, lawn and mature shrubs, creating a peaceful countryside setting.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed which may restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and planning. Drainage is to a private treatment plant and council tax sits above average (Band E), so buyers should factor those costs. The surrounding area is rural with average mobile and broadband; nearest rail services are some distance away.
This home will suit buyers seeking character, space and low-carbon running costs in a village setting — families, downsizers wanting generous rooms, or professionals working from home. For anyone considering major alterations or extension, early advice on listed-building consents is recommended.
