7 Bedroom Barn Conversion

LONGFIELD FARM BARN Longfield Farm Barn is a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, character-rich barn conversion offering approximately 3,250 sq ft of beautifully arranged accommodation across three self-contained living wings. Positioned in the popular market town of Soham, CB7, and offered at £750,000 freehold, this exceptional property presents more space, more versatility, and more inherent character than comparable properties in the area.

For buyers seeking multi-generational living, investment income, or simply an extraordinary family home with the flexibility to accommodate extended family, this property stands alone.

THE TOP FLOOR - A SHOWSTOPPER
Upstairs is where Longfield Farm Barn truly sets itself apart.

Occupying almost the entire first floor is a spectacular open-plan reception space measuring approximately 31'3" x 21'1". With its vaulted ceiling, exposed timber trusses and remarkable proportions, this is a room that immediately commands attention. Whether used as a grand living room, entertaining space, games room or combination of all three, it offers a scale and character rarely found in modern homes.

Complementing this exceptional space is a spacious kitchen, generous double bedroom and family bathroom, creating a remarkably self-contained living arrangement. The layout lends itself perfectly to multi-generational living, independent family members, guest accommodation or those seeking flexibility beyond that offered by a conventional home.

Few properties can offer such an impressive blend of volume, versatility and character, making this one of the most memorable spaces within the entire barn conversion.

THE GROUND FLOOR
The ground floor of the barn is a masterclass in character living. The heart of the home is a sweeping kitchen/diner fitted with an extensive run of warm solid pine cabinetry, granite-effect worktops, integrated oven, hob, dishwasher, and generous dining space.

From here, a door leads directly into the light-flooded conservatory, which has been cleverly fitted out as a practical utility space with additional worktops and laundry provision, whilst still bathing the rear of the property in natural light through its full-length glazed roof.

The principal reception room is a genuinely impressive space centred on a handsome exposed brick chimney breast housing a cast iron wood-burning stove. Timber barn doors, exposed oak beams, and original brickwork throughout give the ground floor an authenticity that simply cannot be replicated in a new build.

The master bedroom is generously proportioned with an original oak beam, a dedicated walk-in dressing room, and a fully fitted accessible en suite wet room with grab rails; a thoughtfully designed space for buyers with mobility requirements.

A second bedroom features a stunning exposed Cambridge brick feature wall, while a third bedroom and a further family bathroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

THE ANNEX -
Completing the accommodation is a fully self-contained annex, providing a highly versatile addition to the property. Comprising a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space measuring approximately 21'6" x 14'6", a spacious double bedroom of 14'6" x 14'6" and a private bathroom, it offers comfortable and independent accommodation in its own right.

Whether utilised for multi-generational living, dependent relatives, guest accommodation, a holiday let or a long-term rental opportunity, the annex provides exceptional flexibility and genuine income potential. With its own dedicated living facilities and generous proportions throughout, it represents far more than a simple ancillary space and significantly enhances the overall appeal of Longfield Farm Barn.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Originally a working farm barn dating back to the late 1800s and thoughtfully converted during the 1990s, Longfield Farm Barn offers something increasingly difficult to find: genuine flexibility on a substantial scale. Extending to approximately 3,250 sq ft, the accommodation has evolved to provide multiple independent living areas under one roof, making it equally suited to large families, multi-generational living, home-and-income arrangements, or buyers seeking space that can adapt as their circumstances change.

Unlike many large homes where additional bedrooms simply increase sleeping accommodation, Longfield Farm Barn provides the ability for occupants to live independently whilst remaining connected. The combination of three kitchen areas, multiple reception rooms, self-contained accommodation and disabled-friendly access creates opportunities that most conventional properties cannot offer.

Beyond the accommodation itself, buyers will appreciate the character that only a historic barn conversion can provide. Vaulted ceilings, exposed trusses, original brickwork and generous room proportions combine to create a home with genuine personality and presence.

The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and includes ownership of the private access serving the property, whilst providing a right of way for the neighbouring property known as The Lodge.

For those seeking a home that offers more than simply seven bedrooms, Longfield Farm Barn represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly versatile period conversion with character, scale and future flexibility in equal measure.
