Set well back at the end of a single-track farm lane, Four Oaks is a newly completed barn conversion finished to a high specification and set on c.1.6 acres (sts). The house combines a vaulted 10m x 9m open-plan reception with large glazing and bi-fold doors, a first-floor reception/kitchenette and a roof terrace that delivers far-reaching views over rear gardens and farmland. The build retains a concrete frame with high insulation and achieves a B energy rating using an air source heat pump with underfloor heating to the ground floor.
Accommodation is spacious and flexible: four ground-floor bedrooms (two with en suites), a large family bathroom, utility and a generous first-floor area that can serve as an office, entertaining space or guest suite. Outside there is a treble-bay cart lodge with an EV charger and a substantial room above, plus an outside kitchen, covered entertaining area, WC and an expansive partly walled patio — all arranged to take advantage of the surrounding countryside.
Practical points to note: the property is accessed via a single-track lane and sits in an isolated hamlet with only one nearby neighbour, offering privacy but requiring a rural mindset. Broadband speeds are very slow and services include mains water and electricity with drainage handled by a private sewage treatment plant (newly fitted) — both factors to consider for working from home or high-data households. The plot will be topped and grass seeded prior to completion.
Four Oaks will suit buyers seeking a one-off, eco-conscious family home or a rural second residence where space, specification and views are priorities. Its impressive reception spaces, generous ancillary outbuilding and large plot create clear potential for outdoor living, home working hubs or hobby uses, provided you accept the trade-offs of rural access and limited broadband connectivity.
