Spacious 4-bed converted barn with South Downs views and large garden.
Grade II listed thatched barn conversion with dramatic vaulted ceilings
A striking Grade II listed thatched barn, imaginatively converted with dramatic vaulted ceilings and spacious open-plan living that suits a growing family or those who love entertaining. The principal living space spans almost 30ft with a vaulted kitchen/dining/family area, exposed timbers and multiple French doors that connect indoor living with the large, sunny garden and views across the South Downs National Park.
Four bedrooms are arranged for practical family life, with three comfortable ground-floor rooms and a principal first-floor suite with ensuite and mezzanine sitting room. Two additional mezzanine reception areas provide flexible space for a home office, playroom or media area. Modern comforts include underfloor heating to the ground floor and an efficient ground-source heat pump, reducing running costs compared with conventional heating.
Practical considerations are important: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and permissions. The house uses a private water treatment plant (private drainage), broadband speeds are slow in the area, and council tax is described as very expensive. The thatched roof and traditional materials require specialist upkeep and ongoing maintenance budgets.
Set on around 0.2 acres, the garden faces south and offers patio areas, lawns and hedged boundaries ideal for outdoor dining and children’s play. Parking includes two allocated spaces and a single offset garage. The hamlet location delivers very low crime, excellent mobile signal and immediate access to countryside pursuits, while Winchester’s broad amenities are about 3.5 miles away.
