A striking converted barn occupying around 2.5 acres in a sought-after village, this five-bedroom home pairs generous, characterful living spaces with practical outbuildings. Original timbers, vaulted ceilings and a galleried landing create drama and natural light across the principal rooms; a two‑bedroom annexe, heated workshop and large double garage add useful flexibility for family life or home working. Photovoltaic panels reduce running costs and the vendor reports very fast broadband (c.440 Mbps), supporting modern connectivity.
The layout suits a large family seeking countryside privacy: multiple reception rooms flow to terraces and formal gardens, while a paddock with a grade II listed granary offers rural amenity and scope for equestrian or hobby use. Existing planning permission to extend the cottage provides clear potential to increase living accommodation and improve the annexe connection.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives: the property falls within a high flooding risk area, which affects insurance and may require mitigation; the main fuel is LPG (not mains gas), and the vendor notes a Worcester oil boiler in place — expect mixed fuel arrangements. Council tax sits in a very expensive band H. The house was converted in the early 2000s; while well‑appointed, some ongoing maintenance and updating should be anticipated in a property of this size and age.
Overall, the house will suit a family seeking substantial, characterful country living with ancillary income or guest potential from the annexe. It will also appeal to buyers wanting scope to extend and personalise an impressive rural home, provided they factor in flood risk, heating arrangements and higher running costs.
