Hadfields Barn is a Grade II listed two-bedroom barn conversion set in an unusually large three-quarter acre plot on Main Road, Higham. The house blends character stonework and contemporary fittings: a generous dining kitchen, a cosy lounge with log burner, underfloor heating throughout, two bathrooms and a mezzanine bedroom make it immediately liveable for couples or downsizers seeking space and privacy.
Externally the property is a major asset — a long driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles and five useful outbuildings plus two greenhouses sit within the mature, fully enclosed garden. The plot offers scope for hobby gardening, productive fruit trees or further ancillary uses (subject to listed/building regulations and planning restrictions).
Important practical points: the Grade II listing and conservation area designation mean alterations will be constrained and may require specialist materials and approvals. The large plot and outbuildings demand ongoing maintenance; upkeep costs and conservation-sensitive repairs should be factored into ownership. The local area shows deprivation indicators despite village amenities, and the house offers just two bedrooms, so it’s best suited to couples, downsizers or those wanting a character second home rather than a growing family.
Overall this is a character-rich home with substantial outdoor space and flexible outbuildings. If you value rural setting, privacy and period charm and accept the added responsibilities of a listed property, this offers rare accommodation and plot size in the village of Higham.
