Spacious five-bedroom barn backing onto the village Millennium Green with large gardens.
Five double bedrooms, large principal with en-suite and fitted storage
Orchard Barn is a substantial five-bedroom detached period barn conversion offering generous, character-filled living across approximately 3,051 sq ft. Set at the end of a quiet lane and backing directly onto the village Millennium Green, the house combines exposed beams, a large stone inglenook fireplace with log burner, and a farmhouse kitchen with Aga for authentic rural charm. Bi-fold doors on the principal living room open to a southerly sun terrace and mature, productive gardens that include espalier fruit trees, greenhouse and direct gated access to the green.
The house’s accommodation is highly flexible for family life: a spacious double-aspect living/family room, separate dining room, dedicated study and utility plus five double bedrooms, including a very large principal suite with fitted storage and en-suite. Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing (post-2002) and an efficient solar panel system that significantly reduces electricity bills. There is private parking for several cars and a large detached stone-built barn-style garage with high ceilings and clear potential for conversion to a studio or annex (subject to consent).
Important considerations: the property is an older solid-wall building originally constructed in the 18th century and later converted, and the walls are assumed to have no modern cavity insulation. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Mobile signal is average despite fast broadband. While the barn garage offers conversion potential, any works would need planning approval and associated costs. Viewings are recommended to fully appreciate the scale, character and garden setting of this unusual family home.
This home will most appeal to families and buyers seeking a large, character property in a very affluent, low-crime village setting with excellent nearby schools and direct access to green open space. It suits those prepared to maintain and sympathetically improve a historic property to their tastes.
