Set on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hay Barn is a five‑bedroom barn conversion that balances rustic character with contemporary comfort. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a large country-style kitchen with an AGA create a warm, lived-in feel, while a secret helix wine cellar and double‑length garage add practical luxury. The long private drive and very large plot provide strong outdoor appeal and excellent privacy for family life and entertaining.
The ground floor layout is flexible: a generous sitting room with inglenook fireplace and log burner opens to the garden, while a dining room and two adaptable ground-floor rooms (study and snug/bedroom five with ensuite) suit a family, home office, or guest accommodation. Upstairs the principal bedroom has an ensuite and countryside views; three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the sleeping accommodation. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support remote working.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the property is freehold but council tax is described as quite expensive; glazing install dates are unknown; timber-frame construction is assumed insulated but may need inspection; and although crime is average, the hamlet setting is secluded. Overall this is a characterful family home in a sought-after grammar-school catchment, ideal for buyers wanting rural space within reach of town amenities and good schools.
