What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

With 3000 square feet of accommodation, this property really does offer a bang for your buck and provides the opportunity to live an authentic country life. The main barn boasts generous accommodation over two floors and some beautiful character features, indicative of it’s era, whilst the spacious detached two bedroom annexe, enables the property to be utilised for comfortable multi-generational living. The icing on the cake is the location, tucked away at the end of a sumptuous country track, it offers tranquil living amongst some breathtaking countryside.

What the Owners Say

We purchased the property, essentially as a shell around 35 years ago from the local farmer and meticulously undertook a refurbishment programme that lasted five years, so to say it was a labour of love would be an understatement! It has been a wonderful location to bring up our family in and when the children were young, they immersed themselves in the country life, regularly playing in the surrounding countryside and observing the diverse range of wildlife we see here. Having the spacious annexe within our grounds has been an enormous benefit and allowed three generations of my family to live here in harmony.

History & Background

Surrounded by undulating countryside, at the end of a country track,this charming Grade II listed barn conversion is originally believed to date back circa 1800 and features within the Doomsday Book. The impressive, versatile accommodation could be utilised in a number of different ways with spacious kitchen/ dining room, shower room, study and large reception room on the ground floor, whilst the first floor boasts three double bedrooms, family bathroom and a charming mezzanine area that is currently being used as a reception room but could easily be utilised as fourth bedroom (if required, subject the necessary consents).

The secluded, South facing 0.5 acres grounds (stls) are a particular feature, incorporating the spacious annexe, an array of outbuildings/ garaging and useful storage yard.
