Description

Accessed via its own private driveway and surrounded entirely by open countryside, this impressive detached barn conversion enjoys a peaceful rural setting with far-reaching views across open fields in every direction. The property occupies an attractive plot of approximately 0.8 acres in total, offering a sense of space, privacy and connection to the surrounding landscape.

The gardens are a particularly appealing feature, arranged as a series of established areas designed for both relaxation and enjoyment. To the rear, the formal gardens create a picturesque backdrop to the house, with mature borders, open lawns and sweeping views beyond. Positioned across the driveway, the separate field provides an excellent additional asset, presenting a range of possibilities such as a tennis court, orchard or further landscaped grounds, subject to requirements.

Internally, the accommodation is generous, versatile and well-proportioned, arranged across both ground and first floors. There are four spacious bedrooms, each complemented by well-appointed bathroom facilities, alongside a collection of adaptable reception rooms that lend themselves equally to family living, entertaining or alternative uses including additional bedroom or work space if desired.

An unconverted wing of the barn currently provides storage and partial office accommodation, offering an ideal opportunity for a dedicated home workspace, studio or workshop, with clear potential for further development subject to any necessary consents.

Warm, welcoming and clearly much loved, 1 Laceys Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful country home combining privacy, flexibility and significant potential within a beautifully open rural setting.
