Dairy Place, Micheldever, Winchester, Hampshire, SO21

The Dairy Place barns originally formed part of a ‘Model Dairy Farm’, and many of the buildings retain their original timbers and character. In 2009/10, the barns were sympathetically converted by Walthams Ltd, with great care taken to preserve their individual character while incorporating a range of modern environmental features, including air source heat pumps and well-insulated roof spaces.

Link-detached to the adjacent farmhouse, Swallows Barn is a truly delightful country home, combining considerable character with modern comfort. Beautifully presented and exceptionally well maintained, the property offers charming single-storey accommodation in a particularly attractive rural setting, with lovely views across parkland and surrounding fields.

Inside, the accommodation has a wonderful sense of space and light, with a series of interconnecting yet individual reception rooms creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living rooms and hall feature beautiful engineered oak flooring, complemented by attractive tiled floors in the kitchen and bathroom and carpeting to the two good-sized double bedrooms. Underfloor heating runs throughout the property, supplied by an air source heat pump, providing an efficient and comfortable heating system.

Period-inspired detailing includes oak linings and feature oak doors, while the ‘Secured by Design’ double-glazed windows and doors provide modern security and energy efficiency. The smartly appointed kitchen is fitted with attractive cream units and beech worktops. The bathroom includes a shower and attractive fitted panelling, complementing the character of the rest of the home.

Although permitted development rights have been removed, there may be potential to extend the property, subject to the necessary planning and other consents.

Outside, the garden is a particularly attractive feature of Swallows Barn. The pretty front garden is principally laid to lawn, with a stone path leading to the sheltered front door. The main garden extends to the side and rear and is again predominantly laid to lawn, enclosed by mature hedging and established trees, providing an ideal spot for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. There is a home office within the garden, providing a quiet and private space for working from home. The room is well suited to a range of uses, whether as a dedicated office, study, or creative workspace, and benefits from being separate from the main living areas of the house.

The property also benefits from a generous private parking area with space for two cars. Opposite the house, and forming part of another of the converted barns, is a useful two-bay open garage together with a secure storage room, providing excellent additional parking and storage.
