Low Gale Barn is a striking attached stone and slate barn conversion offering generous, character-filled living across c. 7,099 sq ft. Original 17th-century features — oak staircase, exposed beams, stone fireplaces and panelled doors — sit comfortably alongside modern appointments such as a large dining kitchen, contemporary garden room and extensive leisure wing with heated pool and sauna. The layout includes a principal suite, multiple en suites, two mezzanine bedrooms and a flexible sixth room with balcony access.
The estate extends to about 10.5 acres, combining formal, landscaped gardens, a wildlife pond, woodland bordering Leck Beck, two paddocks with a timber stable block, and included fishing rights. Outside buildings are substantial: a 2010 oak-framed outbuilding provides a single garage, double car port, studio, workshop and gardener’s WC. A hard court tennis court, greenhouses, vegetable beds and numerous terraces create varied outdoor living and entertaining spaces.
This property suits buyers seeking an extensive family home or lifestyle estate rather than a low-maintenance house. Upkeep and running costs will be significant given the size, pool and grounds; the house’s age and many original elements mean ongoing maintenance is likely. The location is highly private and rural — wonderfully peaceful but with average mobile signal. Practical advantages include fast broadband, ample parking, low local crime and easy road/rail access to nearby towns and schools.
