The barn itself is a rare Oak framed Crown barn, we have been informed by Oak Framing specialists that there are only 45 left in England.

Built circa 1517 the property was named Ivy House Barn being the first building constructed as part of Ivy House Farm an old Dairy Farm.

Uniquely a three bay barn later extended to a five bay barn with upper mezzanine level and lower rooms.

These barns are known for their height and exposed beams which are the key feature and talking point once restored.

The neighbouring Grade II listed farmhouse is a delight, alongside neighbouring stables and sand school, fields and other restored barns, you do feel part of a very special location and community.

This plot benefits from so much privacy yet you do not feel isolated due to the cluster of neighbours sharing the private lane.

The private lane itself has been improved to provide access for the six neighbours and there are exciting further improvements planned to go ahead soon, already in place is an attractive bespoke Oak ladder sign at the entrance to the lane.

The current planning is listed planning consent to turn this into a residential family home of nearly 2000 sqft including a double garage and double car port, enjoying a sunny aspect with gardens surrounding the property to three sides and plenty of parking.

You can imagine working from home in the study looking out to the garden and willow tree.

The final result of the build here will be a one of a kind uniquely crafted oak barn conversion.
