This captivating 5-bedroom detached barn, originating from 1802, presents a unique investment opportunity with substantial renovation potential. The barn has undergone two phases of conversion in the early 1980s and late 1990s, with an additional annexe completed in 2006. Currently not listed, this property can be utilized as a holiday let, making it ideal for generating rental income. It boasts double glazed windows throughout, ensuring energy efficiency and comfort.
The property features a large garage and benefits from its own private river and waterfall, surrounded by original oak beams indicative of its historic charm. A boarded loft adds extra storage space or could be converted for other uses.
Recent enhancements include a new borehole installed in Spring 2025 for sustainable water supply and newly acquired land that extends the garden area – perfect for outdoor activities or further development. The enlarged garage now offers possibilities for workshop space or conversion into additional living areas.
There are approved plans to integrate the annexe with the main house, creating a seamless living experience while retaining flexibility for family dynamics. Permissions also exist to connect the garage to the main residence, enabling the addition of spaces like a home gym or office.
Internally, the ground floor is designed with connectivity in mind; featuring an open-plan kitchen ideal for entertaining and a spacious living room that invites natural light through dual aspects. Notably, there’s also an office space suitable for remote work and a dedicated gym area.
Upstairs hosts a luxurious master suite with dual dressing rooms and en-suite bathroom, alongside two additional bedrooms catering to family needs. With an approximate plot size of 0.8 acres plus added expansion land, this property offers extensive potential for landscaping or even further development.
