Higher Ford Barn is an impressively spacious three-bedroom barn conversion set in a vast, private plot in Newton St Petrock. The house offers dramatic vaulted spaces, exposed beams and a light-filled gallery landing that link generous living areas with well-proportioned bedrooms and extensive landscaped gardens. Solar panels with battery backup add resilience and running-cost benefits.
The ground floor delivers easy indoor–outdoor living: a substantial living room with full-length windows and French doors, a newly renovated kitchen with large island, and a practical boot room with WC. Upstairs, the master bedroom is exceptionally large with countryside views; two further bedrooms include newly fitted storage. A bespoke timber studio at the bottom of the garden and a separate workshop expand usable space and income or hobby potential (subject to any required consents).
Practical considerations: the property uses coal-fired boiler heating alongside a log burner, connects to a septic tank, and has granite walls assumed to lack insulation. Broadband is limited (Airband up to ~40 Mbps) and mobile signal is average. Council tax is above average for the area. These factors may affect running costs and require attention for long-term energy upgrades.
This is a characterful family home or countryside retreat for buyers seeking substantial living space and outdoor privacy. It is newly renovated internally, yet offers clear scope for energy improvements and further adaptation of the studio or outbuildings. For those who prioritise rural tranquillity, generous gardens and flexible ancillary space, Higher Ford Barn presents a rare, roomy country opportunity.
