This substantial 4-bedroom detached barn conversion sits on the edge of Saltwood and offers circa 3,100 sq ft of versatile living space across multiple levels. High ceilings, exposed beams and a dramatic galleried landing create strong period character, while a modern kitchen/diner, utility room and three bathrooms (two en‑suites) provide practical family living. The south-facing garden and generous plot give plenty of outdoor space for children and summer entertaining.
Practical benefits include a detached double garage with room above and off-road parking for several cars. The principal living room centres on a large open fire, creating a welcoming focal point for colder months. The property was built in the late 1990s/early 2000s as a barn conversion and has double glazing; the EPC rating is C.
Notable considerations: the home is heated by an oil-fired boiler and is not on a community heating supply, which affects running costs and may concern buyers used to gas or electric systems. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, so remote workers must weigh that limitation despite excellent mobile signal. Local crime statistics are above average and council tax costs are described as quite expensive. These are material factors to consider alongside the property’s scale and character.
This property will appeal to families seeking rural character near good local schools and open countryside, or buyers looking for a spacious, distinctive home with room for home working and hobbies. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the room sizes, unique features and outside space in person.
