Summary - CHURCH FARM BARN, CHURCH LANE CB8 7LZ
9 bed 7 bath Detached
Exceptional listed country estate with cottages, stables and huge private grounds.
Grade II* listed former rectory with strong period features
A handsome Grade II* former rectory, Church Farm Barn is a predominantly Georgian country house set within c.7.68 acres of formal gardens, paddocks and woodland. The principal house offers grand reception rooms, tall sash windows, ornate cornicing and a sweeping staircase, delivering exceptional period character and generous entertaining space across almost 8,200 sq ft.
Accommodation is versatile: up to nine bedrooms across two principal floors, two guest suites, a principal suite with adjoining dressing/study, and five additional rooms on the upper floor that have been used as bedrooms or hobby rooms. There are two independent cottages (one attached) and a converted coach house providing secondary accommodation or ancillary income potential. A barrel‑vaulted cellar, extensive outbuildings, stabling, dovecot and aviary support equestrian or rural lifestyles.
Practical points to note: the house is Grade II* listed which will affect repairs, alterations and potentially future development. The EPC rating is F; heating is oil‑fired boiler with radiators and the property has assumed solid brick walls without modern insulation. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, and council tax is very expensive. These factors should be considered alongside the substantial maintenance and running costs of a large historic estate.
This property will suit buyers seeking a highly characterful country home with land and ancillary accommodation — families wanting room for guests or staff, equestrian owners, or purchasers happy to manage an important listed building. The plot, historic fabric and range of buildings offer genuine long‑term potential for reuse or sensitive improvement, subject to listed‑building consents.
