Description

HAWKENBURY

Sitting in approximately 1.5 acres, this striking unlisted barn has been converted to provide a comfortable home that whilst in need of some updating, benefits from the convenience of modern living whilst retaining the character of a period property. Located in the rural hamlet of Hawkenbury the barn also offers a one bedroom detached annexe and a detached workshop. The Shepherds Hut in the picture is not included in the sale but can be sold separately.

The barn is conveniently located for countryside walks from the door step and easy access to the main road and rail networks.
