Detached barn conversion with two holiday lets in rural position

Description

Converted from an attractive range of period barns, Woodcrest Barn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home complemented by an established holiday letting business, together with a workshop/games room and a range of useful outbuildings.

The principal residence has been thoughtfully converted, successfully retaining the character and proportions of a traditional barn while providing flexible accommodation suited to modern family living. Generous open-plan reception space forms the heart of the home, where exposed features blend seamlessly with contemporary comforts to create an inviting and versatile environment. The well-balanced layout incorporates bedrooms and bath/shower room facilities across both the ground and first floors, making the property well suited to families, multi-generational living and those seeking accessibility for all ages.

The accommodation comprises of: An entrance hall/boot room, spacious open plan living/dining room spanning an impressive 38ft in length, kitchen, sitting room, utility/gym room, useful home office and cloakroom. A separate bedroom wing to the ground floor provides a principal suite including a spacious bedroom, dressing room and en suite.
To the first floor are three further bedrooms including an en suite. The remaining rooms to this level are serviced via a family bathroom.

Holiday lets
Adjoining one end of the main barn, Woodcrest Barn Cottage provides an entirely self-contained property. Designed in keeping with the character and appearance of the principal residence, the cottage has been successfully operated as a holiday let and enjoys an established reputation, attracting a strong level of repeat business. The current owners continue to take bookings, presenting an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking an additional income stream.

The Lodge offers stylish and contemporary single-storey accommodation. Arranged around a open plan living space, the property features French doors opening directly onto a private walled courtyard with Mediterranean theme and hot tub. Sheltered, secluded and enjoying a sunny aspect, this attractive outdoor space provides the perfect setting for relaxation and al fresco dining.

Outside
Woodcrest Barn is approached via a lengthy gravel driveway which leads to off road parking for numerous vehicles and to the garaging. The holiday lets are approached via a separate access which keeps a good separation between the primary residence and the income generating side. The plot extends to about 1.5 acres, enjoying a delightful rural setting with countryside beyond.

To the south of the barn, a substantial sandstone terrace offers an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the sunny aspect. Beyond, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and extend to the rear of the property, where a large pond creates an attractive focal point within the landscape. The grounds stretch away towards fields, enhancing the property's sense of space and privacy.
