Description

A three-bedroom barn conversion set within a small collection of similar properties, offering a quieter rural setting with lovely countryside walks nearby.

The property combines period character with a practical layout, creating a home that feels both comfortable and manageable. The main living space includes a lounge and dining area centred around a wood-burning stove, bringing warmth and a natural focal point to the room.

A few steps lead up to the kitchen, which is fitted with cream shaker-style units and benefits from a vaulted ceiling that adds both height and light to the space.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms along with a bathroom fitted with a roll-top style bath and shower over.

Outside, the private garden is a particularly attractive feature, with established planting and a mature wisteria adding character and colour through the warmer months. The property also includes an additional wooded area, while nearby footpaths provide easy access to countryside walks and open views.

The house benefits from mains water, while heating is provided through a combination of electric systems and the wood-burning stove, which has been regularly maintained.

Parking includes two allocated spaces directly outside the property, with additional visitor parking available nearby.

The wider development is managed collectively, with an annual management charge of approximately £360 covering the upkeep of communal areas including the driveway and shared treatment plant.

Overall, this is a well-kept barn conversion that offers character, privacy and a strong rural feel.
