The Barn - Equestrian Smallholding with Exceptional Views and Character

Accessed via a private driveway, The Barn occupies an elevated position on a gentle slope, offering panoramic 360-degree countryside views. This striking home combines traditional charm with practical equestrian facilities, set within 6.7 acres of private land. Built of part stone and part brick under a slate roof, the property offers a rare blend of rural seclusion, historic character, and modern convenience.

Ground Floor
The property is entered through a recently added, wraparound glazed porch, leading into the central hallway. To one side lies a generously proportioned kitchen/diner featuring exposed beams, two-tone shaker-style cabinetry, a double oven, and a five-burner gas hob. Adjacent is a large utility room-added just three years ago-with vaulted ceilings, exposed V beam, ample storage, and direct access to the patio. A convenient WC is located off the utility.

Opposite the kitchen is the spacious dual-aspect lounge, enhanced by a recently installed log burner. Through an exposed stone archway, a cosy library awaits with dual-aspect windows, a loft hatch, and an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Completing the ground floor is a bright and versatile snug with two sets of patio doors, accessible from both the lounge and kitchen diner.

First Floor
The master bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows capturing uninterrupted countryside views, along with an en-suite shower room. Bedroom two also features an en-suite and is full of character, showcasing original exposed beams and brickwork.

Second Floor
Two further bedrooms occupy the top floor: bedroom three enjoys built-in wardrobes and views over the garden, while bedroom four is flooded with natural light via dual Velux windows. These bedrooms are served by a stylish bathroom featuring an exposed stone wall.

Equestrian Facilities and Outbuildings
Situated to the east of the main house are extensive outbuildings, including:

- Workshop

A 20x40m manege, installed three years ago, features six inches of eco-friendly, cushioning topping, ensuring low-maintenance, year-round usability.

The property is a DEFRA-registered smallholding, supporting up to six horses and several sheep across six acres of well-maintained grazing land. A self-filling water trough system with a winter-resistant heater is in place for ease of use during colder months.
