Secluded country home with large garden, cart lodge and workshop.
Circa 2,535 sq ft flexible barn conversion living space
Set down a quiet oak-lined lane between Otley, Cretingham and Framsden, The Old Oaks is a striking 17th-century barn conversion offering more than 2,500 sq ft of flexible living space. The house’s dramatic south-facing vaulted central hall, complete with exposed timbers and a balustraded gallery, provides a memorable reception and strong sense of character. Ground-floor layout includes two bedrooms and a family bathroom; the first floor has two further bedrooms and an en-suite, while a large study could serve as a fifth bedroom.
Outside, mature, sheltered gardens extend to about 0.52 acres with two fine oak trees, a shingled courtyard, and a 2½-bay open cart lodge plus a large powered timber store/workshop and additional parking. The property benefits from Starlink broadband availability and low local crime, and is offered chain free for a straightforward purchase.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: heating is by oil boiler with radiators, mains electricity and water are connected but drainage is private, and the property is of solid brick construction assumed to lack wall insulation. The EPC is E and council tax is Band F. Broadband via conventional providers is very slow locally, although Starlink is in use. These points may mean some running-cost and refurbishment work is needed to modernise energy performance and services.
