Redgates Lane, Sewards End

The Accommodation

The front door opens into the entrance hallway filled with natural light provides access to the hot water cupboard and opens into the outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Immediately introducing the scale, warmth and uplifting natural light that define the property. This informal barn-style entry suits the house perfectly, welcoming family and guests directly into the sociable heart of the home.

Extending to more than 30 feet, the principal living area is a remarkable room: bright, airy and thoughtfully arranged to create distinct yet connected areas for cooking, dining and relaxing.

High-level glazing, skylights and a series of windows draw light deep into the space, enhancing the sense of openness beneath the vaulted ceiling. The kitchen is fitted with modern cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a substantial island, making it both practical and an inviting place to gather. The sitting and dining areas flow seamlessly, offering an everyday backdrop for family life while equally suited to larger gatherings and entertaining. Above, a charming mezzanine snug overlooks the room — an ideal retreat for reading, quiet work or children’s play.

Positioned to the far end of the barn is a generous second sitting room, filled with natural light thanks to a full wall of glazing opening onto the garden. Its proportions and outlook make it perfectly adaptable: a relaxed family room, a substantial home workspace, a studio or hobby room — a rare luxury in a home of this style.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged along a peaceful corridor, thoughtfully tucked away from the main living areas. The principal dual aspect bedroom enjoys its own en-suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms, each well-proportioned and naturally bright and a fifth bedroom, ideal as a study, nursery or occasional guest room. A family bathroom and additional shower room complete the accommodation, both appointed in a simple, timeless style.

Outside

The Old Byre sits gracefully within its generous quarter-acre plot where the approach from Redgates Lane opens onto a broad paved driveway, offering ample parking and turning space directly in front of the house. The barn’s traditional palette of weatherboard elevations, flint detailing and mellow clay tiles creates a timeless first impression, softened by lawned frontage and the presence of two handsome trees framing the façade.

To the rear, the property reveals a beautifully orientated garden, fully enclosed and enjoying excellent privacy. A large expanse of lawn sweeps out from the house, bordered by mixed planting, hedgerow and a charming flint-and-brick wall that adds texture and rural character. The central tree provides structure and gentle shade, giving the garden a natural, established feel. Directly outside the main living spaces is a wide stone terrace, an ideal setting for summer dining, relaxed seating, or family gatherings. With multiple sets of French doors opening from the house, this area becomes a natural extension of the internal living space, perfect for entertaining. To one side of the garden sits a practical outbuilding, currently used as storage, and there is ample scope for further landscaping or the creation of kitchen gardens, play areas or additional seating zones as desired.
