Sancroft Barn is a considerate barn conversion set in about 1.5 acres (sts), including a separate 0.8-acre meadow/paddock. The house combines period features — exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and restored milling equipment — with contemporary comforts such as an air source heat pump and underfloor heating to the ground floor.
The heart of the home is the double-height kitchen with granite worktops, a large island and bi-fold doors from the bright family room onto a natural stone patio. Upstairs a galleried living room over 10m long, plus a principal bedroom with glazed balcony, deliver expansive family space and rural outlooks. The grounds are landscaped for entertaining and include an outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, koi pond with specialist filtration and space for a hot tub.
Practical positives include plentiful off-street parking, a double car port, timber store, mains water and electricity, and a modern private drainage system. The paddock has its own driveway, water and electricity connections, and there is the option to purchase further surrounding land.
Notable limitations to consider: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, which may affect home working or streaming. The property uses electricity as its main fuel with an unspecified tariff. Fixtures and fittings are excluded from the sale unless separately negotiated. Council tax sits at a moderate level (Band D). These points are factual considerations for buyers weighing rural charm against connectivity and running-cost details.
