Description
For buyers seeking substance, setting and specification in equal measure, Oak Barn offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully crafted home in an intimate rural setting just three miles from Oswestry.
Positioned within a small and discreet courtyard of only five properties, this south facing stone barn dates back to circa 1778 and was comprehensively converted in 2012 to an exacting standard. The result is a home that combines period character with modern comfort, delivering over 2,000 square feet of versatile living space designed for lifestyle as much as practicality.
Designed for Living Well
From the moment you arrive via the private driveway and enter the oak framed porch, there is an immediate sense of quality. Solid oak windows and doors, exposed beams, deep sills and a striking inglenook fireplace create warmth and authenticity, while underfloor heating throughout both floors ensures year round comfort.
The principal reception spaces are beautifully arranged for modern family life and entertaining. The generous living room, centred around a Dovre wood burning stove, flows through a glass and oak retractable partition into a formal dining area. French doors from both rooms open onto the patio and gardens, allowing inside and outside living to merge seamlessly in the warmer months.
The bespoke kitchen is both practical and stylish, fitted with granite worktops and handcrafted cabinetry, with a stable door providing direct access outside. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening in, the layout has been thoughtfully considered.
Flexible Accommodation
A key feature for many buyers will be the ground floor double bedroom with en suite shower room, ideal for a dependent relative, guests or multi generational living.
Upstairs, the principal suite is particularly impressive, with exposed beams, views across open countryside, a dedicated dressing room and a luxurious bathroom environment. Both the bathroom and wetroom have been finished to an exceptional standard, featuring solid stone marble and Heritage sanitaryware, creating a contemporary yet timeless feel that complements the character of the barn.
The plumbing is already in place, should a purchaser wish to create an additional bathroom. Further bedrooms offer flexibility as family accommodation, guest space or home office provision, with a secondary staircase connecting back to the dining area.
A Setting That Elevates Everyday Life
Oak Barn is elevated above surrounding parkland and farmland, enjoying open views and exceptional privacy. The landscaped gardens have been carefully designed with deep stone edged borders, lawned areas and a generous gravelled terrace ideal for entertaining. A Jacuzzi is discreetly positioned to create a private retreat.
Beyond the lawn are borrowed views over mature trees and open fields, reinforcing the sense of countryside immersion while remaining within walking distance of Trefonen village via established footpaths.
Village Life with Town Convenience
Trefonen, approximately 2.5 miles away, offers a village shop and post office, primary school, active community hall, The Barley Mow pub and access to Offa’s Dyke, along with a network of footpaths and bridleways.
Oswestry, just three miles distant, provides a wide range of independent shops, supermarkets, restaurants and well regarded schools. Gobowen station, around 6.5 miles away, connects to Shrewsbury, Birmingham, Chester, Crewe and onward to London Euston and Manchester.
The Opportunity
Homes within developments of this scale are seldom available, particularly those offering such a high specification conversion, genuine character and countryside outlook.
For buyers looking to secure a quality home in a small, private setting without compromising on accessibility or finish, Oak Barn represents a compelling and highly individual proposition.
