Chapel Farm Barn, Burston Road

Positioned on a 0.44-acre plot along a private drive in the village of Dickleburgh (stms), Chapel Farm Barn combines the character of a traditional barn with thoughtful, modern updates. Open fields stretch out opposite the property, giving a wide countryside outlook from the moment you arrive. Gates opens onto a vast driveway, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles, an EV charging point, and a garage/workshop. A substantial detached outbuilding extends the lifestyle possibilities-ideal as storage, workshop use, a livestock shelter, or business purposes.

The barn’s architectural presence makes a lasting first impression: Warm brickwork and stylish blue cladding are accented by cream and black-framed windows, blending rustic charm with modern flair. Inside, the home has been recently renovated and updated, ready for immediate enjoyment.

Step into a welcoming entrance hall, the perfect spot to hang coats after countryside walks. The expansive reception space, encompassing living, dining, and snug areas, soars beneath a striking vaulted ceiling. A dramatic feature staircase and a brick fireplace with an inset wood burner create an atmosphere equally suited to quiet evenings or social gatherings, while French doors draw in natural light and connect seamlessly to the garden.

The farmhouse-style kitchen is both social and practical. Bespoke cabinetry surrounds a range-style oven, with ample work surfaces and space for a full-size dishwasher. There is room for a breakfast table, making the kitchen an easy gathering place for family meals or casual dining. A pantry-style cupboard adds valuable storage for dry goods and cooking equipment, keeping the room uncluttered. A separate utility room houses laundry appliances and can double as a boot room, ideal for muddy boots and wet coats. The layout, stable door and flooring make it particularly dog-friendly.

Four generous double bedrooms provide comfort and privacy: Three enjoy serene field views at ground level, while the attic bedroom has the flexibility to be a home office, a playroom or guest room. A family bathroom with a four-piece suite and a modern shower room complete the interior.

From the main reception area, French doors lead directly to a generous garden that wraps around the barn. A patio provides plenty of room for outdoor dining or relaxed seating. Beyond, a sweeping lawn offers space for play, planting, or informal entertaining. Mature trees and soft borders give structure and colour through the seasons, and there’s scope for a vegetable garden, greenhouse, or a timber shed.
