This handsome Grade II listed barn conversion sits at the end of a private lane in Westhead, offering generous family accommodation across nearly 2,500 sq ft. Exposed beams, characterful brickwork and vaulted space combine with modern comforts such as double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. The house is semi-detached but feels private, with driveway parking and a large gravel approach.
The property occupies a huge plot including garden and an adjoining smallholding/paddock with a field shelter — a rare opportunity for gardening, equestrian or hobby farming uses. Countryside views and mature trees surround the house, creating a secluded, rural feel while fast broadband makes working from home viable. Local village amenities are nearby and a mix of primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note this is a listed building; the Grade II status will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs and approvals. The solid brick walls have internal insulation but the age of construction (c.1900–1929) means ongoing maintenance and sensitive refurbishment will be required. Council tax is above average, and mobile signal is only average despite good broadband.
This home will suit buyers drawn to rural character who value outdoor space and potential — families, downsizers seeking room for visiting children, or purchasers wanting a hobby smallholding. It rewards careful stewardship: keep the historic features, invest thoughtfully in upgrades, and you’ll have a distinctive home with substantial outside space and calm countryside living.
