Set at the end of a quiet country lane, The New Barn is a stone-built, one-bedroom barn conversion offering charming rural living with off-street parking and a low-maintenance garden. The ground floor layout is comfortable and practical: an open-plan kitchen/dining area, a generous sitting room with a feature fireplace and stove, a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower over bath. The property is vacant with a motivated vendor prepared to consider offers.
A major asset is the extensive loft that runs the length of the property and has its own external access. It is currently used for storage but offers genuine potential for additional living space or a home office (subject to necessary consents). The house sits on a large plot in an affluent, very low-crime village setting with fast broadband and good nearby schools — appealing for a first home or someone downsizing to the countryside.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the home is heated by an oil-fired boiler and stove, so running costs and fuel storage are factors to budget for. The stone walls are traditional and likely lack modern cavity insulation. Any conversion of the loft or structural changes would require planning and building regulations. The current configuration provides one bedroom (it was originally two), so families needing multiple bedrooms should factor in reconfiguration work.
Overall, this is a characterful, detached barn conversion with a private garden, parking and scope for improvement. It suits a buyer seeking a peaceful rural base with space to personalise and the potential to add value through loft conversion or internal reconfiguration.
