An impressive five-bedroom barn conversion set in nearly 5.4 acres, Old Barn House combines striking exposed timbers and vaulted ceilings with versatile living spaces for family life and entertaining. The main house features generous reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with twin Agas and island, a galleried study and a first-floor principal bedroom with en suite. Grounds include a heated swimming pool, pool house, terraces and extensive lawns surrounded by mature trees for strong privacy.
A detached, self-contained annexe offers flexible use as guest accommodation, multigenerational living or home-office space. The property's 4.95-acre woodland at the top of the plot creates scope for equestrian facilities, smallholding or amenity use, accessed from a five-bar gate beyond the formal garden and parking courtyard.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators (not on a community supply), council tax is described as quite expensive, and the woodland is subject to a 20-year overage clause (50% uplift if development is permitted) with c.4 years remaining. The setting is tucked away in a prosperous village with excellent privacy, fast broadband and very low local crime, but mobile signal is average.
This home will suit families seeking rural space, hobby equestrians or buyers wanting a distinctive barn conversion with guest annexe and development potential in the outlying land. Some buyers may wish to factor in future fuel costs and the overage restriction when assessing long-term plans.
