Owls Rest is a spacious three-bedroom barn conversion set in about 8 acres of sloping fields and formal garden. The house retains strong character — exposed beams, stonework and slate floors — and offers generous living space across two reception rooms plus a separate workshop/utility. French doors, countryside views and multiple outdoor seating areas make the property comfortable for family life and outdoor entertaining.
The land is a major asset: three divided fields with road access, wildlife value and scope for stabling, horticulture or limited grazing. A separate reception and bedroom block already functions independently and could be adapted into ancillary accommodation for multi‑generation living or holiday letting, subject to necessary consents.
Buyers should note clear material considerations. Heating is oil‑fired with a wood burner; walls are original granite with assumed no added insulation which contributes to the EPC E rating. Broadband is not connected and speeds are very slow; there is a shared septic tank on the land and a neighbouring right of way with a contribution obligation for track maintenance. The property is secluded down a private track and suited to those seeking rural privacy rather than an urban commute.
Overall this is a rare country offering for purchasers who value character, land and scope to modernise. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the acoustics, proportions and the full potential of the house and acreage.
