Description

The Accommodation

Occupying a delightful semi-rural setting, Homestead Farm presents a compelling proposition for those seeking to create a pair of distinctive homes within a characterful structure, surrounded by open countryside and enjoying a true sense of space and privacy. The consented scheme offers a thoughtful and well-balanced approach, allowing for the creation of two separate dwellings, each with its own identity, whilst respecting the agricultural origins of the building. The existing barn, rich in inherent character and agricultural charm, provides an excellent canvas for conversion. The approved plans allow for the introduction of contemporary design elements—glazing, open-plan living spaces and vaulted volumes—carefully integrated to complement the building’s original form. The result is a scheme that blends modern living with a sense of rural authenticity, creating homes that feel both striking and sympathetic to their surroundings.

Outside

Externally, the site extends to approximately 0.5 acres, offering generous outside space for each dwelling. The setting is particularly appealing, with far-reaching views across gently undulating countryside and a peaceful backdrop that enhances the overall sense of seclusion without compromising convenience.
