A substantial Grade II listed thatched barn conversion occupying approximately 3,700 sq ft on a very large plot in rural Duton Hill. The house is presented with strong period character—exposed beams, thatched roofline, timber cladding and large reception spaces—and offers flexible living over multiple storeys. It is sold chain free and has private mature gardens and wide driveway parking for several vehicles.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status and EPC exemption. Listing brings restrictions and potential delays for alterations, maintenance and insurance; specialist repair and ongoing thatch/timber upkeep should be expected. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is described as quite expensive, both relevant for working-from-home priorities and running costs.
Internally the layout is generous and versatile, indicated as suitable for single-family use, multi-generational living or possible subdivision into separate units (subject to consents and listed-building constraints). The setting is quiet and rural with low crime and good local schools nearby, making it appealing to families seeking countryside living rather than commuters needing fast digital connectivity.
Overall this is a character-rich, large rural residence that offers significant space and outdoor amenity but requires a buyer comfortable with listed-building obligations, likely maintenance and limited broadband connectivity.
