Keels Barn
Originally dating back to 1957, Keels Barn is an impressive, detached family home offering generous and versatile living space.
From the moment you step into the impressive reception hall, the sense of space and light is unmistakable. The home enjoys five elegant reception rooms, each with its own character: The drawing room, bathed in natural light from four large windows, features an open fireplace and French doors opening onto the rear terrace, framing views of the garden, the dining room also enjoys French doors to the terrace, creating the perfect setting for indoor–outdoor entertaining, a study flows seamlessly into an oak-framed garden room, sympathetically added in 2010, offering year-round enjoyment of the surrounding views, the sitting room provides yet another point of access to the gardens and a versatile playroom completes the set.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen/breakfast room offers direct access to the gardens and an internal link to the sitting room. Additional ground floor highlights include a utility room, larder, and two cloakrooms.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite enjoys the luxury of a private en suite. Three further bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.

Approached through a traditional five-bar gate, a sweeping driveway leads to the carport, with the house beautifully framed by gardens that wrap around the property. Mainly laid to lawn, these landscaped grounds also include a separate brick-built workshop and barn.

Planning Note: In January 2022, permission was granted (Ref: 21/01737/HSE) to replace the roof and create additional first-floor accommodation, alongside a replacement garage with cart lodge, garden/bike store, home office and annexe accommodation, plus a barn to form a wellbeing space. This consent has now lapsed.
