This substantial four-bedroom barn conversion blends modern comfort with rustic character, arranged over two floors and measuring approximately 1,959 sqft. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and generous glazing create an airy, light-filled home ideal for family life. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living space and separate sitting room give flexible living zones for everyday use and entertaining.
Practical features include four double bedrooms all with en-suite facilities, two dressing areas, a dedicated study, and a utility room. Ground-floor underfloor heating, a gas boiler and an air-source heat pump give mixed, energy-conscious heating options. Outside, a large rear garden with countryside views, a secondary courtyard and a longer-than-average garage sit alongside ample parking for visitors.
This is a newly renovated property presented to a high standard, offering immediate move-in readiness and clear family-orientated appeal. Commuter links are good from this village-edge location, while excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support remote working. Be aware of several local considerations: the area records above-average crime rates, is comparatively deprived, and the council tax band is above average — factors buyers should weigh alongside the home’s benefits.
Overall, the house suits buyers seeking a spacious, characterful rural home with modern fittings and private outdoor space. The combination of contemporary renovation and original barn features creates a distinctive, comfortable home, but the local socio-economic indicators and running costs should be considered before purchase.
