Pannells Ash Barn is a substantial Grade II conversion offering about 3,900 sq ft of flexible living space set within roughly 1.5 acres of gardens, meadows and parking. The main barn retains dramatic double-height volume, exposed beams and a glazed south-facing elevation that floods the open-plan reception with natural light. The property was comprehensively converted and completed in 2013 and is presented in a newly renovated, contemporary condition.
The single-storey wing of three en-suite guest bedrooms, separate fitted kitchen and plant room has been run as a successful high‑rating B&B and would suit continued commercial use, multi-generational living or an ancillary annex. Energy-saving features include an air-source heat pump, rainwater harvesting and solar panels on the cart lodge roof, supported by underfloor heating across much of the property.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the barn is Grade II listed, which will restrict external and structural alterations and may complicate future works. Services include private drainage (Klargester), bottled calor gas for some appliances, a water purification system and two wood burners. Council Tax is Band F (Braintree) and the site is secluded with large shingle parking areas and a detached double cart-lodge garage.
This property will appeal to buyers seeking a characterful countryside home with income potential, significant outdoor space and contemporary fixtures. It also suits purchasers prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities and the ongoing maintenance of private drainage and rural utilities.
