Believed to date from the 17^th century, this substantial detached, Grade II listed barn is constructed with rendered and weatherboard clad elevations under a thatched roof.  Formerly a threshing barn, it was superbly and sympathetically renovated by a renowned local architect in 2000. 

Since then, significant improvements have been made to the property, most notably the reconfiguration and refitting of the Kitchen/Dining Room, refitting of the En Suite to the Principal Bedroom, the installation of large picture windows to the Principal Bedroom and Bedroom 2 to take advantage of the wonderful countryside views, and the replacement of a derelict outbuilding to provide an excellent 2-Bedroom self-contained Annexe.

The works were completed to an exceptionally high standard resulting in a beautifully presented home, encapsulating the convenience of modern day living with the charm and character of the original building.
