This distinctive three-bedroom barn conversion, steeped in history as a former officer’s mess kitchen dating back to the Napoleonic Wars, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled away from the road in well-maintained gardens, it is conveniently located near Colwell Bay's sandy beach. The property was likely transformed into its current form in the early 20th century and features impressive ceiling heights on the ground floor. A charming reception hall welcomes you with original stained glass elements and quarry-tiled flooring, while the spacious living room boasts a large bay window, an attractive open fireplace, and herringbone woodblock flooring. The functional layout includes a bright dining room with three aspects, a kitchen ready for modernisation, and ample potential to create an open-plan space if desired. Upstairs offers three generous double bedrooms along with a family bathroom and separate WC.
The outside space is equally appealing, featuring a variety of gardens suitable for relaxation or entertainment, plus the potential for additional development within the extensive rear garden area (subject to planning permission). Located just moments from local amenities in Freshwater and the picturesque harbour town of Yarmouth, this property could be transformed into a wonderful family home or a lucrative holiday retreat after refurbishment.
