Shonks Mill Road, Navestock, RM4

Willow Barn is a stunning Grade II Listed detached barn, where rustic charm meets modern comfort, but with flexibility of use in the downstairs accommodation. As you enter through the private gates, you get a feeling of tranquility, shutting out the hustle and bustle of modern living and you can now just enjoy the views & peace of the countryside.

First impressions continue to wow as you enter the property - a huge entrance hallway (really so much more than a hallway) could be used in many different ways, but it sets the tone for the rest of the house. The double sided log burner sits at the base of the impressive brick chimney breast - making this room grand but still with the feeling of home.

The home is brimming with character, featuring exposed wooden beams, vaulted ceilings, and period features throughout. Step into the impressive entrance hall, with its open staircase, high ceilings, and natural oak flooring - a perfect introduction to the property’s blend of uniqueness and warmth.

The kitchen living and dining area is bathed in natural light thanks to the large floor-to-ceiling window, connecting you to the beautiful views - you can easily imagine sitting with a coffee, reading the newspapers at the weekend, glancing up and noticing the changing seasons and wildlife.

Every door, every wall, every window has something special to look at.

Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and windows making the most of the scenic countryside views or garden outlooks.

There is an integrated sound system, centralised vacuuming system, water softener.

Outside, the property continues to shine with its extensive gardens, wooded area, and a tranquil pond - creating a peaceful rural retreat. The large patio and outdoor seating areas provide the perfect spots for dining or simply enjoying the views of the countryside.

A gated entrance leads to an expansive gravel driveway and a double garage, offering ample parking and a sense of privacy within this small development.
