Ginmill Barn is a striking 17th-century converted mill offering spacious family living across about 4,400 sq ft. The house has been newly renovated with many original features retained — exposed timber trusses, stone walls and a hexagonal gin lounge — giving character and generous ceiling heights that suit sociable family life. The layout includes five double bedrooms, five bathrooms and flexible reception rooms ideal for both daily family use and entertaining.
Practical features include a newly fitted farmhouse kitchen with walk-in pantries, a large detached garage with adjoining workshop, and a private south-facing garden with flagged terrace. Double-glazed oak windows and internal insulation to the solid brick walls improve comfort, while fast broadband and proximity to Scunthorpe and local schools support modern family needs. The property sits within easy reach of countryside walks and coastal and AONB destinations for weekend outings.
Important considerations: heating is provided by an oil boiler, which may be less convenient and more costly than mains gas in the long term. The property is accessed via a shared private roadway and the council tax is in a higher band, reflecting the house’s size and finish. Mobile signal in the village is average and the home’s age and character mean some ongoing maintenance and specialist care for historic materials may be required.
Overall this is a rare, character-rich barn conversion for a family seeking space, period charm and countryside living, with practical outbuildings and modern fittings already in place. Buyers should factor in running costs associated with oil heating and the responsibilities of owning a large, listed-style historic home.
