Forest, Four Lanes, TR16

Tucked away in an idyllic countryside setting just over a mile from the village of Four Lanes, this charming stone barn captures the true essence of rural living. With sweeping countryside views and an exceptional sense of peace and tranquillity, it offers the perfect escape from the rush of modern life while keeping everyday amenities within easy reach.

Originally part of a traditional farmstead, the barn has stood proudly for decades before being sympathetically converted around eight years ago. The result is a home that perfectly blends character and comfort, where the thick stone walls and slate roof preserve its rustic charm, while the modern interior and strong EPC rating ensure year-round practicality and warmth.

Set at the end of a quiet farm track shared with just two neighbours, the property enjoys complete privacy surrounded by open fields. The only sounds are birdsong and the soft breeze rolling through the valley, yet the village, local school, and community amenities are only a short drive away.

Inside, the home features a thoughtfully designed reverse-level layout. The ground floor offers three comfortable bedrooms, an office, and a family bathroom, while the first floor opens into a wonderful light-filled space that forms the heart of the home. The open-plan kitchen with its central island is perfect for gathering with friends and family, flowing naturally into a spacious dining and living area that takes full advantage of the far-reaching views. Additionally to the first floor is the separate utility room. French doors open out onto a balcony, ideal for morning coffee, long lunches in the sunshine, or evenings with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the hills.

The garden is a delight, with open lawn area for children to play, a practical outbuilding for storage, and a sheltered sunken garden that offers the perfect retreat on breezy days. From every angle, the views are spectacular, stretching across the Red River valley towards St Ives, delivering an ever-changing backdrop of natural beauty and breathtaking sunsets.

This is more than just a home, it is a lifestyle. A place where the air feels fresher, the nights quieter, and life moves at a gentler pace, all while remaining just minutes from the conveniences of village life.
