Set in a converted courtyard, this three-bedroom barn blends character features with comfortable, modern finishes. Exposed beams, stone fireplaces and vaulted ceilings give a strong rustic feel, while the open-plan kitchen/diner and double glazing make daily living straightforward. Large windows and stable-style doors deliver outstanding rural views and plentiful daylight.
Practical features include oil-fired central heating with boiler and radiators, a single garage with power and dedicated parking, plus a low-maintenance gravel and paved courtyard. The footprint is generous (approximately 1,734 sq ft) and room proportions suit a family or those seeking a spacious countryside home.
Known drawbacks are factual and important: heating runs on oil (not a community system), and the property sits within a managed courtyard — purchasers will become one of five directors of the management company and pay a management/service charge (£40 pcm / £480 pa). Council Tax is Band F (£2,754 pa) which should be factored into running costs. The wider area records high deprivation despite low crime and excellent connectivity.
This home will suit buyers wanting a lifestyle change to the country — those who value character, views and a private courtyard — and who are comfortable with oil heating and a small communal management arrangement. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, finish and outlook.
