Barn Farm is an exceptional Grade II listed country house offering five well-proportioned bedrooms across substantial accommodation of about 4,293 sq ft. Set on approximately 0.86 acre in a peaceful village setting, the property combines strong period character with obvious potential for a sympathetic restoration to create a distinctive family home or high-value investment.
The house is rich in original features, generous room proportions and large reception rooms that would become elegant living and entertaining spaces once restored. Externally there is a triple garage with adjoining store and extensive grounds suitable for formal gardens, outdoor entertaining or ancillary buildings (subject to consents).
Important practical considerations are clear and significant: the property requires extensive renovation, including likely upgrades to insulation, heating systems, and internal finishes. It runs on oil-fired boiler and radiators, has solid brick walls assumed without insulation, and, despite some double glazing installed after 2002, substantial work will be needed to modernise energy efficiency and services. The Grade II listing protects historic features but will restrict changes and require listed-building consents for many alterations.
Other material drawbacks include a high local flooding risk and above-average crime levels in the area, plus relatively costly council tax. For a buyer with restoration experience, budget and patience, Barn Farm offers a rare opportunity to revive a significant period property in a secluded rural location with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and good local schooling and commuter links.
