There are barn conversions… and then there’s Shippon. Set within the characterful surroundings of Beacon Farm, this is a home with a real sense of individuality — stylish inside, full of personality and with the sort of countryside outlook that immediately makes you feel a little further away from everything.

The entrance sets the tone beautifully. Rather than a standard hallway, you step into a bright and welcoming space with a striking staircase rising through the centre and a gallery-style landing above. Large areas of glazing pull in plenty of natural light, while the cottage-style doors and detailing give a subtle nod to the building’s farm origins without making the interior feel overly traditional.

The living room is a lovely place to unwind, combining clean contemporary finishes with warm timber flooring and a generous amount of natural light. There is plenty of space for a substantial seating arrangement, while the wide glazing and doors help connect the room to the outside and frame the green surroundings beyond. It feels calm, comfortable and properly homely.  

Across the other side of the ground floor, the kitchen and dining space really comes into its own. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of light-coloured cabinetry and work surfaces, with a large range-style cooker forming a focal point and a substantial breakfast bar creating an easy spot for a quick coffee or somewhere for friends to sit while dinner is being prepared. The arrangement flows naturally into the dining area, where there is room for a proper table and the large window brings in yet more light.

It is a sociable space that works equally well for day-to-day life or entertaining. You can imagine breakfast at the table with the morning sun coming in, dinner with friends around the table or simply having the doors and windows open through the warmer months.

Upstairs, the layout remains nicely balanced with two double bedrooms, each offering good proportions and plenty of versatility. The principal bedroom has the added benefit of access to its own balcony, giving you a private elevated spot to step outside and take in the surroundings. It is the sort of feature that is difficult to appreciate on a floorplan but makes a real difference in person.

The contemporary family bathroom sits conveniently between the two bedrooms, completing the first-floor accommodation.

Shippon is one of those properties that feels far more special in person than it ever could on paper. With its characterful setting, impressive kitchen/dining space, two double bedrooms, balcony, substantial garden and far-reaching countryside views, this is a home for buyers looking for something refreshingly different from the ordinary.

Anti-Money Laundering & ID Checks

Once an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Dourish & Day estate agents we are required to complete ID verification checks on all buyers and to apply ongoing monitoring until the transaction ends. Whilst this is the responsibility of Dourish & Day we may use the services of MoveButler or Guild365, to verify Clients’ identity. This is not a credit check and therefore will have no effect on your credit history. You agree for us to complete these checks, and the cost of these checks is £45.00 inc. VAT per buyer. This is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable.

Front Garden

The front of the home features a private gravelled driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a front lawn.

Rear Garden

Outside is where Shippon becomes even more special. To the rear is a generous enclosed garden, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging, giving it a private and established feel. A paved terrace sits closest to the house, while further into the garden there is a pergola-covered seating area, creating a great spot for outdoor dining and summer evenings.

Beyond the main garden, the land rises gently with additional planted areas and pathways, giving the outside space more interest than a simple flat lawn. From here, the views open out beautifully across the surrounding countryside, with uninterrupted fields and rolling farmland creating a wonderfully open backdrop.
