Set back on a quiet country lane in Bovingdon, this distinctive property combines a newly refurbished 2-bedroom barn with a separate converted stable block of four en-suite rooms. The main barn is bright and open-plan with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, shaker-style kitchen and underfloor heating — a comfortable, characterful home ready to move into. The former stables sit as an independent building with its own private rear garden and large store, offering clear scope to use as rented accommodation or convert to a separate dwelling (subject to planning).
Practical strengths include a large gravel parking area owned with the property, a generous plot with private outdoor space, very low local crime and no flood risk. The property lies in a prosperous, semi-rural setting close enough to local schools and film studios to support rental demand for short- or long-term lets. The detached layout and multiple entrances give flexibility for multi-occupancy or a small business operation.
Be candid about running costs and improvements required: the heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, double glazing dates from before 2002, and the walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation. The EPC is rated E, broadband speeds are slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. A right of way must be provided to the property at the rear and any change of use for the annexe will require planning permission.
