Set behind a private drive in the well-served village of Kingsland, The Old Barn is a substantial Grade II listed barn conversion offering generous, character-filled accommodation across multiple floors. The house combines exposed brick, vaulted ceilings and oak floors with contemporary fittings — a large living room with vaulted ceiling and wood burner, a reappointed Russell Alexander kitchen with Smeg range cooker, and flexible ground-floor rooms currently used as bedrooms and reception spaces. The layout suits extended or multigenerational families who value space, character and adaptable rooms.
Outside, mature hedged gardens provide privacy and lawned areas with fruit trees and flowerbeds, plus a seating area and garden shed. Parking is plentiful with two driveway areas and a detached double garage with light, power and a useful room above. Practical benefits include mains water, gas and electricity, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — helpful for home working or staying connected in a rural location.
Important practical points: the home is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and may complicate some renovation or extension plans. Drainage is private rather than mains sewer, and the property is in council tax band G, so ongoing running costs should be considered. Overall, this is a beautifully presented, large village family home that will particularly appeal to buyers seeking period character, generous space and a strong local community.
