This charming former barn has been thoughtfully converted and extended to create a warm, inviting home that blends traditional character with modern comfort. Surrounded by mature planting and uninterrupted rural views, the property enjoys a quiet position within an exclusive development of converted barns. The current owners have made numerous high-quality additions including a contemporary studio extension designed to maximise light and views, a 2021 kitchen installation by Harrison & Pope, and a purpose-built oak-framed summerhouse that offers a year-round retreat within the garden.

This delightful barn is full of character features and is presented in excellent condition throughout. The original stone elevations, deep-set wooden windows and oak lintels give way to interiors that retain exposed beams, flagstone flooring and thick stone walls, complemented by warm natural tones and well-crafted joinery. The garden is a standout feature, with formal planting areas, a wildlife pond, multiple seating terraces and a lawn that frames the countryside beyond.

The Property

Entrance Hall: A welcoming entrance space with fitted coat and shoe storage, designed to complement the newly installed kitchen cabinetry. The floor retains the original flagstones, cleaned and sealed during renovation. The WC is discreetly located beneath the stairs.

Sitting Room: A spacious and inviting reception room, featuring exposed ceiling timbers and an open stone fireplace. The soft terracotta-toned carpet and pale walls create a warm backdrop, while deep-set windows provide a sense of character. A glazed door opens directly to the garden.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room: Renovated in 2021 by Harrison & Pope of Weobley, this bespoke kitchen pairs heritage charm with modern functionality. Cream shaker-style units are set against exposed stone walls and topped with Brachot-Hermant Quartz surfaces, while a central island in a contrasting colour features a solid American oak worktop with two stools beneath. A classic blue electric Aga is retained as the heart of the room, with a Neff oven, induction hob and extractor added for summer cooking. The room benefits from under-unit lighting and a generous pantry-style cupboard that houses the boiler. Flagstones run underfoot, tying the space to the rest of the barn.

Dining Room: The room features exposed stonework, ceiling beams and a deep brick-edged window with views toward the hills. Currently arranged as a formal dining space, it would also suit use as a snug or reading room.

Study/Studio Extension: Added in 2013, this versatile room was designed by a local architect to capture the light and valley views. Finished with bespoke cabinetry and shelving by Neville Johnson, it includes a double desk arrangement, underfloor heating, and a dramatic Iroko-framed three-panel skylight. Full height windows overlook the garden, making this a peaceful and productive space year-round.

First Floor Landing: With exposed trusses and doorways leading to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Bedroom 1 with Ensuite: A generous principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling and exposed A-frames, offering superb proportions and natural light. A feature stone wall and exposed beams frame the space, while wardrobe space and private ensuite add practicality. Tucked behind a solid wood door, the ensuite includes a tiled shower, WC and basin with mirror above.

Bedroom 2: Another large double bedroom, positioned at the opposite end of the landing and offering excellent guest or family accommodation. The room is full of charm, with built-in wardrobes, soft carpeting and a stunning diamond shape transom window into the landing.

Bedroom 3: A characterful single bedroom featuring a sloping ceiling with exposed timbers, part-stone wall, and a charming low-set window. The built-in wardrobes are made by bespoke furniture company 'Neville Johnson'.

Family Bathroom: A bright and stylish space with white fully tiled walls, timber detailing and a tiled sill with shutters. A large bath is set beneath the window which offers wonderful views, with coordinating tiled floor and impressive heated stone electric towel radiator.

Outside

The garden is an absolute highlight of this property, with formal borders, shaped lawns and patios designed to take in the glorious views. Mature hedging and stone boundary walls create privacy without compromising the setting. Pathways lead to a striking oak-framed summerhouse, built in 2004 by a specialist design firm. Re-roofed with oak shingles in 2019 and comprehensively insulated, it features bi-fold doors, power, Wi-Fi and a heater for year-round comfort—perfect for a home office or creative retreat. An additional small section of land is currently rented from a local farm to further extend the garden space, this is a private agreement which can be passed on if desirable.

To the front of the barn is a stone-built carport, with a cobbled driveway leading beside the property towards two private parking spaces. The approach is beautifully landscaped with flowering shrubs and a well-maintained lawn, completing the sense of a thoughtfully curated rural home.
