Grade II listed barn conversion with abundant period character
Priory Barns is a three-bedroom, Grade II listed barn conversion that combines period character with practical family living. Exposed stone, timber beams and a log burner create a warm, characterful living room, while a country-style dining kitchen with integrated appliances provides a sociable heart for everyday life. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite, with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor.
Outside, the property sits in a small, secluded courtyard garden with a dining terrace, raised beds and a mature, TPO-protected tree that forms the garden’s focal point. Two off-street parking spaces are provided on a private gravel area accessed via the Priory driveway. The village location is highly convenient for families: Ketton has a primary school, local shop, pubs and good road links to Stamford, Oakham and the A1; Peterborough and London are reachable by rail.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and permissions. The property is also in a high flood-risk zone, which may affect insurance and require flood-prevention measures. The plot is small, limiting extension potential, and the mature tree is subject to a Tree Preservation Order, restricting work in the garden.
For families seeking character, a central village location and roomy internal space (approx. 1,444 sq ft) this home offers immediate comfort and long-term charm, but buyers should factor in listed-building responsibilities, flood risk and limited garden extension opportunities when viewing.
