10 bed 8 bath Barn Conversion
Multi‑unit country home with large gardens and gated parking.
Grade II listed barn and stables conversion with strong character features
Manor Stables is a rare Grade II listed barn and stables conversion offering exceptionally flexible accommodation across three interlinked living areas. Arranged as a main house, a cottage and a recently converted stables wing, the property provides ten bedrooms and eight bathrooms across generous, characterful spaces with exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and high ceilings. The large walled plot includes a gated driveway with turning circle, extensive lawns, mature borders, a freestanding studio and a workshop.
The main house retains farmhouse charm with a well-equipped kitchen and principal reception rooms overlooking the garden. The cottage and 2020 stables conversion provide self-contained living – ideal for multi‑generational use, short‑term lets or as an income stream. Practical extras include gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile coverage suitable for modern family life or home working.
Important practical notes: the building is Grade II listed and lies within a conservation area, so alterations will be restricted and listed‑building consent will be required for many works. The stone walls are original (pre‑1900) and assumed to have no built‑in insulation, so upgrading the fabric may be necessary to meet modern efficiency expectations. Access is across a neighbour‑owned driveway with recorded rights of access and some protective tree controls apply.
This property suits buyers seeking a substantial, characterful country home with scope for income or multi‑generational living who accept the responsibilities of owning a listed building. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, configuration and garden setting. Legal/title enquiries are advised given listed status, restrictive covenants and recorded rights and easements on the title.
