A striking period coach house conversion arranged over multiple floors, offering more than 2,000 sq ft of flexible living. The principal bedroom is on the ground floor, with a large kitchen/breakfast room and generous reception space that suit family life and entertaining. High ceilings and original character details give warmth and scale throughout.
Outside, private front and rear gardens sit alongside a broad gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles. The standout feature is a separate Grade II listed barn of roughly 1,250 sq ft that provides significant scope for ancillary use, storage or creative conversion — subject to listed-building constraints and planning consent.
Buyers should note the property’s age and listed status: originally constructed circa 1573 and converted about 20 years ago, it has solid brick walls with internal insulation and double glazing of unknown install date. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler and EPC is rated D. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working. Annual ground rent of £3,636 and a relatively high council tax should be factored into running costs.
For families or buyers seeking a characterful rural home, this property blends historic charm with substantial accommodation and a large plot. The barn and generous room sizes create potential to adapt spaces, but any works affecting the listed fabric will require specialist consents. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and setting in person.
