6 bedroom barn conversion for sale

Originally built in 1812, Oak Tree House Farm is a handsome property offering 3,663 sq. ft. of beautifully presented accommodation arranged over two floors. The main house and barn were converted and completely renovated in 2017 and later The Stables annexe in 2021, retaining many period features throughout including casement windows, original shuttering, high ceilings, exposed beams and original joinery. Both the main farmhouse and adjoining barn are currently operating as holiday accommodation. The ground floor flows from a welcoming reception hall and comprises a spacious sitting room, a generous dining room, both with exposed wooden flooring and feature fireplaces with woodburning stoves, and a large central kitchen which benefits from underfloor heating, a feature original fireplace, a range of wall and base units, island with seating, a double Belfast sink and a neighbouring fitted utility room with the original stone shelving and a useful cloakroom. The property also benefits from a generous cellar.

The first floor provides a large principal bedroom with Jack and Jill access to a modern en suite shower room and further double bedroom. There is also a dual aspect generous bedroom off the staircase and a modern family bathroom, which complete the first floor.

Adjoining the farmhouse is a two-bedroom barn with an open-plan modern kitchen/sitting room with freestanding woodburning stove and conservatory, two first floor double bedrooms and an en suite bathroom and shower room and an external glazed fitted utility room. The main farmhouse could be knocked through into barn to create one dwelling, subject to planning.

The self-contained converted stable has a sitting room with freestanding woodburning stove, fitted kitchen, modern shower room and separate cloakroom, with underfloor heating and a first-floor mezzanine bedroom.

Services: Mains electricity and water. Solar panels. Oil central heating in both the Farmhouse and The Barn. The Stables has an Everhot 500 Range.

Private drainage: A foul drainage report is available which we believe confirms the drainage is compliant with current regulations.
