Common Street, Ravenstone, Olney

There are a few converted barns in the neighbourly village of Ravenstone but very few of them occupy such a discreet location. Another special feature of this lovely barn is the perfect mix of impressive open plan spaces and large practical rooms making it ideal for family living. The barn has a Grade II listing and has a vaulted ceiling in the generously proportioned living area which reveals a fairly awesome traditional timber frame in the roof space.

The property is of stone and brick construction under a thatch and slate roof. Mains drainage is connected as with water and electric. Central heating is by Low propane gas.

Property Walk Through - The most used access to the property is through the entrance door to the breakfast room and kitchen. Step on to the slate flooring of this farmhouse style Kitchen which has a vast array of store cupboards arranged around the room at base and high levels. A twin bowl sink unit with mixer tap is incorporated to the work surfaces.
