The Shippen

The Shippen is an impressive agricultural building offering approximately 2,315 sq ft of flexible space over two floors, rebuilt on the footprint of a former shippen. Set in a peaceful and private location, it is accessed via an impressive well-maintained gravel drive. The building is constructed in traditional style with stone elevations, red brick detailing, and black timber gable cladding under a pitched slate-effect roof. Designed with future flexibility in mind, the building features a spacious open plan ground floor with exposed structural elements to include red brick piers. A contemporary steel staircase leads to the first floor which is flooded with natural light through multiple velux windows and vaulted ceilings. The western elevation is a standout feature, with full-height glazed patio doors opening onto a balcony complete with a spiral staircase, perfectly positioned to enjoy far reaching countryside views. The shippen is a charming stone built barn that presents an exciting opportunity for residential conversion subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

Outside & Land

Great Close extends to approximately 5.97 acres (2.42 hectares) and features its own private gravelled driveway with direct access from the highway. The Shippen benefits from a spacious gravelled area, providing ample parking. A beautifully crafted red brick wall provides a charming and functional divide between the barn and the surrounding gardens, enhancing both privacy and aesthetics.

There are two neatly maintained lawned areas. Set to the west of the property, there are two paddocks of productive pasture land extending to 4.95 acres (2.00 hectares) bordered by mature hedgerow and tree lined boundaries. The land is classified as Grade 3 agricultural land. The soil is freely draining slightly acid loamy soils. The land is ideally suited to agricultural or equestrian uses.
