Set in the peaceful hamlet of Fosten Green, this characterful period property combines a 3-bedroom attached cottage with a detached 2-bedroom converted barn — ideal for multi-generational living, guests or rental income. The house retains many traditional features including exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and wooden floors, and sits on a large plot with far-reaching rural views and gate access onto countryside walks.
The main cottage offers a welcoming sitting room with woodburner, a rustic kitchen, separate dining room and three bedrooms on the first floor, including a double-aspect principal bedroom overlooking the fields. The converted barn provides self-contained accommodation over two floors with a ground-floor shower room, two bedrooms and an upper living area with kitchenette and balcony — useful as guest space, home office or holiday let.
Practical points to note: the property is timber-framed and was constructed before 1900, with assumed lack of cavity insulation in parts; some upgrading to thermal insulation and modern services may be advisable. Heating is from an LPG-fired boiler and radiators (not mains gas), so running costs should be considered. Council tax band is above average for the area.
This freehold home will suit families wanting country living with flexible accommodation, buyers seeking rental potential from the barn, or purchasers prepared to invest in sympathetic refurbishment to improve energy efficiency and comfort.
