- Grade II listed detached barn conversion with original beams
A handsome Grade II listed barn conversion set in the heart of Yeaveley, overlooking the village church. The house combines rural character — exposed beams, feature brickwork and a double-height lounge with log burner — with practical family spaces: a dining room opening to a recently fitted kitchen with solid oak worktops, four bedrooms and two modern bathrooms.
Outside, a manageable sunny garden with paved terraces, pergolas and a powered shed/home office makes for low-maintenance outdoor living and working. A double-width paved driveway and integral garage provide secure parking; the plot is modest in size, so outdoor space is easy to care for rather than expansive.
There is scope to add a single-storey extension subject to planning permission and the current owners have prepared drawings, offering potential to increase living space. Buyers should note the listed status: it preserves the building’s character but may restrict alterations and can add complexity and cost to major works.
Practical details suit village life — very low local crime, reasonable access to Ashbourne and good local schools — while services are average (mobile and broadband). Overall this is a well-appointed, characterful family home for buyers who value period charm and a peaceful rural setting, and who are comfortable with the constraints of a listed building.
