Woodhouses, Yoxall, Burton-on-trent, DE13 8NR

There are houses you visit… and there are homes you feel.

Long Barn is the latter.

Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Woodhouses, near Yoxall, this exceptional single-storey barn conversion is what happens when countryside character meets contemporary style. From the moment you arrive, it wraps around you the stillness, the open views, the soft warmth of underfloor heating beneath your feet.

The current owners knew it the moment they stepped inside. Having moved from Sutton Coldfield in search of space and calm, they found a home that delivered both and so much more. It’s peaceful, it’s private, and it’s finished with the sort of taste you’d usually find in the pages of a magazine.

The layout flows beautifully. One level, full of light and life. The open-plan living and dining space is breathtaking with exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and stone floors that bring texture and warmth. Large windows frame the countryside beyond and flood the space with natural light, creating a home that feels alive, not just lived in.

The kitchen blends practicality and design, offering ample space, integrated appliances and a sociable setting whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee or hosting friends on a weekend.

Three double bedrooms offer plenty of flexibility whether for family, guests or a home office and the principal suite comes with its own stylish en-suite shower room. A further modern bathroom serves the rest of the home, and a separate utility and boot room make everyday life easy (and muddy boots welcome).

Outside, the wraparound garden offers stunning, uninterrupted views over open countryside. There’s a sense of complete escape here, yet you’re never cut off. A double garage and ample gravelled parking sit to the side, while high-speed fibre broadband and a recently serviced Worcester Bosch boiler keep the essentials covered.

Long Barn is freehold, EPC-rated C, and benefits from a modern septic tank system.

This is a home for people who want more than just four walls.

It’s a place to slow down. To soak in the views. To breathe.

And with Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Burton and Derby all within reach, it’s proof that you don’t have to compromise connection for calm.

Homes like this don’t come up often.

And when they do, they don’t hang around.
