- Grade II listed barn conversion with historic exposed beams
An impressive Grade II listed barn conversion set in a small hamlet on the edge of Stonehouse, West Barn combines generous living space with distinctive historic character. The open-plan ground floor, full-width living/dining room and high vaulted ceilings deliver light-filled, flexible family spaces. A modern kitchen with granite worktops, central island and adjacent utility room make daily life and entertaining straightforward. Practical extras include underfloor heating throughout, super-fast Gigaclear broadband and Cat‑5 cabling.
Outside, the property sits on a very large plot with enclosed lawns, mature hedging, a substantial patio for al fresco dining, gated gravel parking and a detached double garage with power, light and an adjacent home office — ideal for remote working. The development of four properties offers a quiet rural setting with open fields nearby, yet accessible schools include a good local primary and well-regarded independent options.
Important considerations: the Grade II listed status will affect alterations and may complicate future works or extensions. The building has solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation) so further thermal upgrades may be restricted and could be required to improve efficiency. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The location is remote (hamlet/isolated) and local crime statistics are above average, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision.
Overall, this is a character-rich, substantial family home for buyers who value rural privacy, generous living areas and flexible outbuildings, and who are comfortable managing listed-building constraints and associated running costs.
