2 bedroom barn conversion

History & Background

Coppins Yard is the original farmyard to the neighbouring Brook Farm, offering a small collection of up to six new homes and barn conversions, each with their own individual character and high standard finishes. The development is owned by the historic Courtauld family with the youngest grandson being an accomplished architect and developer, bringing the nostalgic quality of a 'Courtauld home' combined with modern day designs and high standard finishes.

The Stables will be the first barn conversion to be completed, offering two bedroom single storey accommodation with south west facing rear garden and amenity space overlooking farmland. The complex further offers the benefit of a privately owned meadow, allowing residents of Coppins Yard the unconditional communal use of this additional space and for the enjoyment of creating a wild flower meadow, seating areas and the rural space for 'quiet time'. The Stables offer a gross internal floor area of 710 sq. ft with many beautiful and characterful features including vaulted ceilings with beam lighting. There is also an external store and parking for two cars.
