Careby, Stamford, PE9

A substantial four-bedroom stone barn conversion with extensive outbuildings, private internal courtyard and approximately five acres, offering considerable scope for further accommodation and development. Situated in the sought-after village of Careby, just six miles north of Stamford.

Glen Lodge is an impressive and highly individual detached barn conversion occupying a wonderful rural position within the village of Careby. Originally converted from a traditional stone agricultural building, the property retains a wealth of character and offers approximately 3,000 sq ft of accommodation, together with over 2,000 sq ft of substantial outbuildings.

The accommodation is arranged around a generous private internal courtyard, creating a particularly versatile and secluded setting. The main house currently provides four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, together with a family bathroom, a number of reception areas, kitchen, utility room, office and useful ancillary space.

Whilst the property has been well maintained, there is scope for some updating and modernisation, providing an exciting opportunity for a new owner to put their own stamp on this substantial home.

One of the property's most compelling features is the extensive range of adjoining and detached outbuildings. These currently include a large garage, multiple stores and twin stables within the main building, and separately to the rear is a tractor shed and a four-stall stable block, providing an exceptional amount of storage and workspace. Subject to the necessary consents, there is considerable potential to explore bringing some or all of these spaces into the main house to create an exceptionally large and versatile family home, or to provide additional accommodation, home offices, leisure space or ancillary facilities.

The property sits within approximately five acres, providing an excellent balance of formal and informal outdoor space, with the buildings and courtyard lending themselves particularly well to equestrian, rural or lifestyle use.

Situated in the attractive village of Careby, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting whilst being within easy reach of Stamford, which is less than six miles to the south. Stamford provides an excellent range of independent shops, restaurants, schools and everyday amenities, alongside excellent road and rail connections.
