Set in the peaceful village of Forncett St Peter, this beautifully restored timber-framed Grade II listed barn offers 1,566 sq ft of characterful living across three bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. The principal suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite; a bright first-floor sitting room with a gable window and a striking open-plan kitchen/dining room create a sociable heart to the home. A separate utility and ground-floor WC add practical convenience.
Recently renovated and sold with a 10-year AHCI building warranty, the property blends authentic exposed beams and high ceilings with contemporary finishes. The plot is large but deliberately low-maintenance, with paved and shingled garden areas, plus an outbuilding for storage and a garage for parking. Broadband is fast and local services are supported by nearby good-rated primary and secondary schools.
Important practical points: the barn is Grade II listed, which will affect alterations and future maintenance responsibilities. EPC is not required for a listed building. The setting is semi-rural and relatively isolated — ideal for peaceful country living but less suited to those needing frequent urban amenities or extensive public transport. Previously successful as a holiday let, it also suits a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle or downsizers seeking character with low daily upkeep.
Overall this is a high-quality conversion that delivers period charm, modern comfort and sensible running costs, while requiring purchasers to accept listed-building constraints and the responsibilities that come with rural ownership.
