Built from stone and converted with care, Dovecotte is a substantial five-bedroom barn conversion set in approximately 1.25 acres of formal gardens, paddock and sheltered terraces. The house offers 2,748 sq ft of flexible living space with many period features — exposed beams, stone walls and arched windows — and a modern arrangement of rooms that can be reconfigured to suit family life or create an independent suite (subject to any necessary consents).
Ground-floor living centres on a large farmhouse kitchen with pantry, a principal reception room opening onto a stone-flagged terrace, a separate snug, study and two ground-floor bedrooms (one en-suite). Upstairs there is a sizeable master with en-suite, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A detached stone-built double garage, workshop area and generous gravel driveway provide ample parking and storage for smallholding or equestrian use.
The setting is a quiet hamlet location with westward views over open farmland and direct access to local bridleways and Wykeham Forest. Practical points to note: broadband speeds are slow, council tax is high, and any alteration to create an independent dwelling would require formal planning or building consents. Overall, this property will suit buyers seeking character, land for hobby farming or horses, and flexible accommodation in a peaceful rural setting.
