High-spec, secluded barn conversion with annexe potential and approx. one acre of grounds.
Grade II listed contemporary barn conversion completed in 2010
Architectural heritage and contemporary design combine in this Grade II listed barn conversion, finished to a high specification in 2010. Set back on a private lane in Elton, the house sits within about one acre of landscaped gardens and a 0.5-acre paddock, offering privacy and open countryside views. The main living space is a vaulted, open-plan barn with exposed beams, a floating staircase and a double-sided log fire that anchors the layout.
The designer Parapan kitchen with integrated appliances and bi-fold doors flows to a glass garden room with a sedum roof, creating year-round indoor–outdoor living. A converted garage currently provides annexe-style accommodation with its own entrance — useful as a guest suite, home office or rental opportunity. An outbuilding previously had planning approval for conversion, adding further scope for extension or income generation (subject to consents).
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the property’s Grade II listing will limit alterations and may complicate future works, and broadband speeds in the village are very slow. The house was created recently (2010) and presents as well maintained, but buyers should allow for listed-building consent processes when planning changes.
This home will suit buyers seeking a high-spec rural family residence with flexible annexe potential, strong visual character and substantial grounds. It balances impressive entertaining spaces with private bedroom suites and scope for a home office or income conversion, all within easy reach of local schools and transport connections.
