Characterful three-bed barn with farmland views and low-maintenance garden.
Grade II listed barn conversion with Lutyens heritage
Set within a private gated conversion of a former dairy designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, this Grade II listed three-bedroom barn offers bright, generous rooms and far-reaching farmland views. The accommodation includes a long sitting room with French doors to a terrace, a second reception room, and a traditional kitchen — arranged over generous multi-story living that suits those seeking comfortable, low-maintenance homes on the village edge.
All three bedrooms have en suite facilities and the principal bedroom benefits from a vaulted ceiling and excellent proportions. Outside is a west-facing, low-maintenance garden and an open-bay garage with substantial double-height store room and electricity — plenty of secure parking and storage for a downsizer or second-home owner.
The house has been much loved and now offers clear scope to upgrade and personalise. Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listed status, which will restrict alterations and can complicate works. The EPC is rated E and the property is heated by an LPG boiler with radiators; slow broadband and very expensive council tax are additional practical considerations.
Offered chain-free and occupying a popular semi-rural position on the edge of Shackleford village, this home will particularly appeal to those seeking a characterful, easy-care country property with excellent local schools and good road and rail links to Guildford and London. Renovation-minded purchasers can enhance value, but must factor in listed-building constraints and the cost of modernisation and heating upgrades.
