Characterful two-bed barn in the New Forest with large plot and conversion potential.
Converted two-bedroom detached barn with vaulted, beam-lined living space
Brook Barn is a converted two-bedroom detached barn set within the New Forest National Park, offering a rare blend of rustic character and contemporary comfort. The open-plan living space has a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and an open fireplace that creates a warm, inviting heart to the home. Two double bedrooms and a luxury bathroom with roll-top bath and rainfall shower complete the internal accommodation.
The large plot includes a rear lawn and patio with scenic countryside views and direct access to surrounding forestland. An outbuilding and the side of the barn offer realistic scope for conversion or extension subject to planning consent, creating potential to enlarge or add garaging. Off-street parking for multiple vehicles is a practical benefit for rural living.
Practical details are straightforward: oil-fired central heating to radiators, private drainage and mains water. The property was built in the 1930s–40s and retains period character; the glazing is double but the installation date is unknown. Council tax is described as expensive and the local crime level is above average, both important considerations for buyers.
This home will suit buyers seeking a peaceful, nationally protected countryside setting close to Ringwood (approx. 2 miles) and good road and airport links. It will also appeal to those prepared to manage rural maintenance and navigate any planning required for conversion or extension to realise the site’s full potential.
