Forget Me Not Barn is a substantial, immaculately presented five-bedroom barn conversion set in about one acre in the peaceful hamlet of Bowling Bank. The conversion blends reclaimed brick character with modern finishes: a large open-plan kitchen/dining/living area with pantry and bi-fold doors, three ground-floor double bedrooms, and two generous first-floor principal suites with dressing rooms and en-suites. Practical features include a Klargester treatment plant, outdoor power and lighting, and a 10-year structural warranty for extra reassurance.
The property offers scope and flexibility. A large carport has planning permission (materials on site) to create an additional reception room, while the wide gravel driveway and decorative stone courtyard provide ample parking and useful external working or entertaining space. Underfloor heating in several rooms, oil/LPG-fired boiler and double glazing (installed before 2002) add comfort across the 3,942 sq ft layout.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: mains broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, which may affect remote working or streaming. Heating is oil/LPG-fuelled rather than gas and council tax is described as very expensive — both will influence running costs. The property sits in an area classified as very deprived despite low local crime and attractive countryside setting. These factors are balanced by the one-acre plot, planning permission for extension, and low maintenance modern drainage system.
This barn will appeal to families or buyers seeking a roomy country home with character, privacy and immediate usability, but buyers requiring fast internet or low running costs should be aware of the practical trade-offs. The home is ready to occupy with options to expand or adapt the carport, making it a strong candidate for those wanting a rural family base with long-term potential.
