A charming detached barn conversion set within the village of Moreton Valance, offering character, garden space and a substantial detached double garage with exciting potential for a creative studio, workshop, gym, music room or home office, subject to the relevant consents.

Rebuilt in the early 2000s, the property combines traditional features with practical open plan living. While compact in scale, it has a great deal to offer, with vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, two en-suite bedrooms and a flexible layout which works well for full-time living, visiting family or those wanting a character home with additional outside space.

The property is approached through the garden, with a dwarf wall and inset gate setting the tone to the front. Mature planting frames the entrance, while side gates lead to a private driveway, detached double garage and established grounds.

The property currently benefits from electric heating, giving a future owner the opportunity to explore alternative heating options, such as the installation of an air source heat pump, subject to suitability, costings and any necessary consents.

Inside, the main open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room forms the heart of the home. The vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and cottage-style feel create a warm and welcoming space, with room for both seating and dining.

The sitting area centres around a brick fireplace with exposed chimney breast and raised hearth, complete with a wood-burning stove. French doors open directly onto the garden terrace, giving a lovely connection between the living space and outside.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of pine base and wall mounted units, tiled work surfaces, built-in oven, hob and extractor, along with space for free-standing appliances. Windows to the front and side bring in natural light, while tiled flooring gives the kitchen area a practical finish.

The master bedroom provides a comfortable retreat, with vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobe and bespoke French doors opening directly onto the garden. The en-suite bathroom includes a bath with shower over, wash basin, WC and window to the front.

The second bedroom is accessed from the kitchen area and offers a useful degree of separation from the main bedroom. This room includes a fitted wardrobe and en-suite bathroom with bath and overhead shower, pedestal basin and WC, making it well suited to guests, visiting family or independent use.

There is scope for a new owner to update and personalise the property further, either as a full-time home, weekend base or character property with additional creative space.

Outside - Outside, the property enjoys an attractive garden setting with lawn, planted borders, terrace space and a timber summerhouse.

The garden wraps around the property and offers space to sit, dine and enjoy the outdoors, with French doors opening from the main living area onto the terrace. Mature planting, trees and shrubs add colour and interest, while the lawn provides a good area for relaxing or entertaining.

The small timber summerhouse adds further charm and would work well as a potting shed, garden store or useful space for garden equipment.

To the side, a gated driveway leads to a substantial detached double garage with twin timber doors, power and lighting. This is one of the property’s strongest features and offers real flexibility. Subject to the relevant consents, the garage could lend itself to a studio, gym, workshop, music room, craft room or home office. For a buyer who feels the cottage itself is compact, this space gives an opportunity to create something separate and useful.

The outside space as a whole adds a great deal to the property, combining garden, parking, garage and future potential.
