Seller Insights
“We’ve lived at Hall Barn about 15 years bringing up our children here; it’s been a wonderful family home with so much space making it perfect for holding children’s parties or having their friends over to enjoy running around and building dens.”
“The barn had been converted previously although we put in the kitchen which has solid granite worktops and an integrated Neff double oven; the Aga is run on mains gas. The door from the kitchen opens onto the rear terrace which is a very sheltered, sunny spot for a morning cup of coffee. There are French doors from the main living room onto this area too.”
“Having such thick stone and brick walls keeps the house beautifully warm in winter especially with the wood-burners blazing away, and then in summer it is so cool inside which has been great in all the heatwaves.”
“It’s really, really quiet here apart from the sounds of owls and pheasants, oh and the exciting sound and sight of the Red Arrows as they fly overhead! There are also muntjac deer and squirrels in the garden – it’s nice to be so close to nature. Far End is a no through road so there is very little traffic and the garden is completely enclosed with a high wall around the front so very safe and secure for children and dogs.”
“We get the afternoon and evening sun on the front of the barn with the second sitting room benefitting the glazing in the old barn doors where French doors open onto the garden – we see amazing sunsets from there. And there is no light pollution so the stars shine incredibly brightly!”
“The neighbours are all really kind and friendly, they will always go the extra mile for you, and at Christmas there is usually a chance for everyone to get together. It’s also a great place for walking as we are right on the Viking Way with views over the Cliff which provides lovely dog walks in both directions, either to Navenby or to Coleby to the north.”
