Description

Tucked away off the road, Charity Farm Barn provides a vaulted 2 bedroom interior including a tremendous main reception room and long rear garden. Within the setting of a Listed farmhouse this character property features traditional black weather boarding, red brick, exposed internal timbers, and oak flooring.

Charity Farm Barn is a detached converted barn, enlarged by way of a matching single storey addition that together form a most attractive character home. Tucked away off the road along with the original neighbouring Grade II Listed farmhouse and buildings Charity Farm Barn is laid out to include a superb vaulted main reception room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and shower bathroom. The old and new combine well together and externally the property features black weather boarded elevations and brickwork beneath a clay pantile roof.

Location

Charity Farm Barn sits hidden away off the road and principally faces south with an outlook across an extremely long garden of around 200' from the rear of the main reception room. Adjacent to the right hand side is the original farmhouse: a fine looking Grade II Listed thatched property, with to the left a grass meadow. Beyond the rear garden of Charity Farm Barn lie open fields. The unmade track also serves the last remaining barn belonging to the original farmer. The village is well served and now includes a Community Stores along with The Black Horse Pub, Village Hall, Parish Church and importantly a well regarded Primary School within Hartismere catchment.
