Set within about 6 acres (sts), this detached four/five-bedroom barn conversion combines generous living space with preserved period character. Vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and a double-height living room with brick fireplace create an impressive central reception space. The ground floor includes two double bedrooms with en-suites, a versatile gym/snooker room with bar and an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with bi-fold doors onto the garden. A principal suite with mezzanine and countryside views occupies the first floor.
The plot is a key selling point: formal garden, patio, double garage, workshop and extensive meadow beyond accessed via a private track. There is clear scope for annexe or equestrian use subject to planning permission (STPP). Practical benefits include off-street parking, electric front gates and an air source heat pump alongside the existing oil-fired boiler and radiators; the property is sold freehold and with no onward chain.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property dates from the mid 20th century and, while sympathetically converted, parts may need ongoing maintenance; council tax is above average. The listed meadow includes a private track with a legal right of way but the track ownership is not included in the sale. A public footpath runs alongside the left boundary. Mobile and broadband provision is average for the area.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking substantial private grounds and countryside living who are comfortable with a rural maintenance regime and pursuing any further planning for equestrian or ancillary accommodation.
