Rare Grade II barn conversion with vast reception space and sweeping countryside views.
Grade II listed barn conversion with original beams and vaulted ceilings
Little Priory Farm Barn is a striking Grade II listed barn conversion set on the edge of Panfield, offering dramatic vaulted ceilings, exposed oak timbers and uninterrupted countryside views. At around 2,648 sq ft on a very large plot, the property’s expansive central reception hall, gallery landings and generous terrace create exceptional entertaining space and strong kerb appeal.
The house is arranged with a single principal bedroom and four bathrooms in its current layout; this unusual configuration suits someone seeking a generous one-bedroom retreat with abundant reception space, or a buyer prepared to reconfigure rooms subject to listed-building consent. The freehold property includes private gardens, a terrace and off-street parking, plus excellent transport links to Braintree, the A120/A12/M11 and Stansted.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing preserves historic fabric but will limit alterations and require specialist consents and potentially higher maintenance costs. The one-bedroom layout may not suit buyers needing multiple bedrooms without sensitive remodelling under listed-building rules. On the positive side, the site benefits from low crime, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a peaceful village setting close to good schools and public transport.
