This one-bedroom stone barn conversion in Shutford offers surprisingly generous internal space and authentic period character while being very well presented throughout. Exposed beams, a wood-burning fire and high-quality fixtures create a warm, low-maintenance home that suits downsizers or a couple seeking rural comfort without heavy renovation.
The cottage sits in a quiet village setting with pleasant countryside views and off-street parking including a carport. Practical comforts include underfloor heating and a modern boiler; the property is freehold with low council tax and very low local crime, making day-to-day running straightforward.
Potential buyers should note a few practical points: the property is heated by an LPG-fired boiler rather than mains gas, which affects refuelling and running costs; the plot is small so outdoor space is limited; and mobile and broadband speeds are average. The house was constructed/converted in the late 1970s–early 1980s, so buyers should check specifics of insulation and services if desired.
Overall, this barn-style cottage blends rustic character with contemporary finishings, offering immediate move-in appeal for someone prioritising village life, period details and manageable upkeep rather than extensive renovation or large garden space.
