Lifestyle & Character

If you’re looking for a rural home away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, this one might be for you! It is a home defined by country living, both inside and out.

Exposed stone walls, original timber beams and stone flagged floors celebrate the building’s agricultural heritage, while carefully considered renovations ensure it presents stylishly and functions effortlessly for modern family life.

The heart of the home opens out to panoramic countryside views, creating a constant connection to the landscape beyond.

Every detail has been approached with care, from the preservation of period features to the installation of contemporary finishes, resulting in a property that feels both authentic and elevated in quality.

Living Space

A grand yet welcoming entrance hallway sets the tone, combining contemporary lvt flooring with retained original stone flags and generous natural light.

The kitchen is well-appointed and practical, fitted with wood-effect wall and base units, worktops and integrated appliances including an induction hob, electric oven, dishwasher and fridge freezer. Original ceiling beams maintain character, while ample windows create a bright, functional family space. The recently installed Worcester Bosch boiler enhances efficiency and reliability.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen is the open-plan living and dining area. Glazed bi-fold doors allow the space to be divided or opened up entirely, offering flexibility for modern living. The dining area enjoys direct access outside, while the principal lounge benefits from bi-fold doors framing the uninterrupted rural views. A multifuel wood-burning stove with integrated media space provides a striking focal point, complemented by exposed beams and integrated storage.

A practical utility and downstairs WC completes the ground floor, offering plumbing for laundry appliances and additional storage - highly practical for busy family life.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

The main bathroom is finished to a high standard, designed as a spa-like space with a freestanding bath, double walk-in shower, vanity unit with backlit mirror, wall-mounted towel rail and fully tiled walls and flooring.

Outside Space

The landscaped garden has been designed for visual impact and ease of maintenance. Indian stone terraces, timber sleeper detailing, artificial and natural lawn areas, and glass balustrades combine to create a stylish yet practical outdoor environment.
