Set within about 2.17 acres in a peaceful hamlet, this large stone barn conversion combines rural character with contemporary living. The house offers generous reception space — including an open-plan designer kitchen, family room with garden access, and a living room centred on a solid-fuel stove — arranged across an expansive 3,858 sq ft footprint. The property is well placed for family life, with multiple reception rooms, home-office space and easy indoor–outdoor flow to the landscaped garden.
Sleeping accommodation includes four double bedrooms and five bathrooms, three of which are en-suite; the master and second bedrooms both include walk-in closets. A detached granary annexe provides self-contained space and was granted planning permission in 2010 for change of use to holiday accommodation, offering potential income or flexible guest accommodation (prospective purchasers should verify current permission status).
Built/finished in 2024, the house benefits from modern systems: underfloor heating fed by an LPG boiler and a double garage. Practical points to note are the property's EPC rating of E and reliance on bulk LPG for fuel, plus slow broadband speeds and a relatively high council tax charge. These factors may affect running costs and connectivity — important for home-working families.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful family home in an affluent rural setting with strong entertaining and ancillary accommodation potential. It will suit buyers seeking space, privacy and countryside living, but those sensitive to energy efficiency, broadband speed and ongoing heating costs should factor these into their decision.
