A rare Grade II-listed former 18th-century heavy horse stable, this stone-built barn conversion combines genuine period character with surprisingly generous living space. High ceilings, exposed beams and multiple wood-burning stoves create atmosphere across three to four ground-floor reception rooms; two first-floor bedrooms each have en-suite facilities. The layout was originally configured to work as two separate cottages or one large residence, giving flexible options for owners.
The property sits in a quiet hamlet between Box village and Kingsdown Golf Course, with wide rural views and a large gravelled courtyard framed by two characterful studios, a 28' outbuilding and lean-to conservatory. Practical features include mains gas central heating with boiler and underfloor heating in parts, a small utility with shower, garage parking and an extensive overall footprint (approximately 2,735 sq ft) on a very large plot.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance, making specialist surveys and Listed Building consent essential before works. Broadband speeds are reported very slow — despite excellent mobile signal — which may affect home-working unless upgraded, and buyers are advised to verify services and measurements independently.
This home will suit someone seeking a distinctive country residence or a secure countryside pied-à-terre with scope for sensitive improvement rather than a turnkey modern house. The dual-cottage origins and substantial outbuildings offer potential for flexible use (studios, home office, guest space), subject to listed-building constraints and necessary consents.
