Set within an exclusive cluster of converted barns on the edge of Swimbridge, this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers a peaceful, low-traffic rural setting with sweeping field views. The principal living room benefits from high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, creating a bright, characterful space warmed by a wood-burning stove. The kitchen-diner is practical and modern, flowing to the rear garden and patio for easy alfresco use.
A detached two-storey barn beside the house provides substantial additional space: currently arranged as covered parking, storage and an upper-store area, it offers clear potential for conversion or workshop use subject to necessary consents. Driveway parking for several vehicles is a genuine practical advantage in this countryside location.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold and built before 1900 with granite walls that may lack modern insulation, and heating runs from an LPG system (not mains gas) — buyers should check likely running costs and tank arrangements. Broadband speeds are very slow and there is a medium flooding risk; both factors matter if you need fast connectivity or plan to insure against flood events.
Overall this home will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, characterful countryside retreat with useful outbuilding space and generous overall floor area. It also suits downsizers wanting single-level living with easy parking, while those seeking full rural conversions should factor potential retrofit, insulation and connectivity work into their plans.
