Main Street, Staveley

Description The Barn was originally converted to living accommodation in the early 1980's and then was extensively renovated in 2021 to create the accommodation it is today.

Hidden away just of Main Street in the centre of Staveley, just behind Staveley Pharmacy and overlooking the river Kent at the rear it has a very practical "village centre" location with the soothing sound of the river behind. The current owners have redeveloped the property into something quite special with a real eye for detail and flair.

Offering 3 bedrooms (2 ensuite) plus a luxurious 4-piece bathroom, a rather unique entertaining room and a large first floor open plan living area to take advantage of the rear aspect over the river Kent complete with a balcony. The loft area is accessed via a stylish spiral staircase and has been designed as a soft seating/TV area with limited head height.
Planning permission was confirmed in February 2026 as a single dwellinghouse which means the property must be the occupants "only or principal home" and cannot be a second home or holiday let.

This riverside barn has contemporary style and during the renovation it was taken back to the stone and effectively started again with it being rewired, replumbed, replastered and decorated, a new gas central heating system installed, new double-glazed windows and has some wonderful touches like the quality of the bathroom and kitchen facilities and an internally fitted speaker system through the whole house.

Outside there is a side patio area again overlooking the river and to the other side is a useful lean-to outside store.

Come and see this rather unique detached barn and make it your new home.
