The Red Barn is a newly built, architect-designed barn conversion offering generous, contemporary living in a peaceful rural setting. Designed by the current owners for their own use, the house delivers high-spec finishes, generous room proportions and a seamless open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting area that suits family life and entertaining.
Energy efficiency is a strong asset: an A-rated EPC, high insulation levels, aluminium double glazing and an air source heat pump with underfloor heating throughout keep running costs lower than a typical country home. The principal suite extends to around 42 sqm with an ensuite and superb countryside outlook; this room could be reconfigured into two bedrooms if a four-bedroom layout is required.
Externally the property sits on about 0.63 acres with a sweeping gravel drive, lawns and a detached double garage currently used as a car port. The plot borders Knighty Brook, adding an attractive water feature and extra privacy. Practical elements include a private borehole water supply, private treatment plant drainage and the remainder of an LABC warranty.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: broadband to the house is very slow and will require a connection upgrade to access superfast speeds from the cabinet; water and drainage are private (borehole and treatment plant); the garage is presently open and would need enclosing if covered parking is preferred. Council Tax Band F reflects the property's size and will be a regular cost to budget for.
