Set on a large plot just outside the village of Shelton, this two-bedroom barn conversion blends rustic character with single‑storey convenience. The primary reception room is the house’s highlight — a vaulted space with exposed purlins, an exposed brick chimney and a wood‑burning stove — offering an airy, comfortable living area ideal for downsizers who want character without multiple floors.
The solid wooden kitchen opens via a stable door to a south‑facing courtyard garden that’s low‑maintenance and private — perfect for outdoor dining and easy upkeep. Two double bedrooms and a contemporary four‑piece bathroom complete the accommodation, with boarded loft space accessed by a ladder for storage rather than full conversion.
Practical considerations are clear: the house uses an oil‑fired boiler (private tank), has an EPC rating of D and sits in a very affluent, low‑crime hamlet with average mobile and broadband coverage. There is off‑street parking and council tax band C is described as affordable. A medium‑low surface water flood risk has been noted alongside an otherwise very low river/sea flood risk.
This property will suit buyers seeking a characterful, single‑storey home in a peaceful rural setting who are comfortable managing oil heating and who value privacy and low exterior maintenance. The property may suit purchasers looking for immediate move‑in with some energy‑improvement potential rather than a full renovation project.
