Description

Old Barn House is a substantial and beautifully presented barn conversion, combining impressive character with the space and versatility required for modern family living. Extending to almost 3,200 sq ft, the highly adaptable accommodation includes a self-contained annexe and separate office, making it well suited to multigenerational occupation, home working or guest accommodation. Rich in period charm yet practical in its layout, the property benefits from being unlisted, a rare advantage amongst homes of this nature.
