Set within about 1.65 acres (STMS), The Earl’s Barn is a large, characterful conversion offering over 3,400 sq ft of versatile living. Vaulted reception rooms with exposed beams and a dramatic galleried landing create immediately impressive entertaining spaces, while the kitchen with Aga and separate utility support family life and informal dining. Two ground-floor double bedrooms each have en-suite bathrooms and courtyard access, useful for guests or ground-floor living.
The plot includes formal walled gardens, paved terraces, raised fish ponds, a paddock/orchard of about one acre with fruit trees, vegetable enclosures, greenhouse and a soft-fruit cage — excellent for keen gardeners, smallholders or those seeking space for animals. Practical outbuildings include a double car port and a double garage with ample parking.
Practicalities to note: heating is oil-fired with a new boiler installed in 2024 and mains water and electricity are connected, but drainage is via a private septic tank. The barn dates from c.1900–1929 with granite/whinstone walls assumed uninsulated; the property has double glazing fitted post-2002 but the EPC is D and the property may need ongoing maintenance or upgrading to improve thermal performance.
This home will suit a family seeking rural space, gardeners and buyers wanting a distinctive, character-filled property with scope to personalise. Council Tax Band G reflects running costs; purchasers should note average mobile signal, fast broadband and a low flood risk when considering day-to-day living and remote working potential.
