Tucked away down a private 700m drive on the edge of Horsley, High Barn is a substantial period home set in just over 14.2 acres, offering sweeping southerly views across rolling countryside. The adaptable layout — six reception rooms, five bedrooms and five bathrooms across linked wings — suits large-family living, multi-generational households or owners seeking separate annexe accommodation. The property occupies a dramatic position on an escarpment and benefits from mature gardens, orchard areas and multiple outdoor seating spots to enjoy the outlook.
Practical leisure and equestrian facilities are genuine strengths: an indoor swimming pool with skylights and plant room, a deck with hot tub, a hidden tennis court, stabling, paddocks and a workshop with a purpose-built wine cellar. The house blends period features (exposed beams, open fires) with contemporary touches and flexible circulation — including a glazed walkway around a formal pond — that make the layout versatile for entertaining or quiet family life.
Buyers should note a number of material particulars: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, mains electricity and water are supplied but drainage is private, and broadband speeds are described as very slow. The building is stone-walled and likely uninsulated in places, the glazing was installed before 2002 and the EPC rating is E. The property’s scale and grounds require regular maintenance and running costs (Council Tax Band G) should be factored into ownership.
There is scope to tailor the estate to different needs: the land can be offered in smaller lots if preferred, and the multiple outbuildings and paddocks offer practical potential for hobby equestrian use or ancillary projects. Overall, High Barn is best suited to buyers seeking privacy, space and rural lifestyle amenities who are comfortable managing a large, characterful period home and its ongoing maintenance requirements.
