3 bedroom barn conversion for sale

An opportunity to purchase this Grade II-listed property, brimming with character and featuring exposed stone walls, original timbers, and thatched roofs-both now due for replacement-situated in the highly sought-after village of Colaton Raleigh.

Crucks Barn is a remarkable and rare property, believed to date back to the 15th century. Once a cider barn with a separate cottage, the historic buildings have, over time, been seamlessly brought together through a striking glass and timber atrium-style entrance, finished with an elegant flagstone floor.

The main cottage features a kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of wooden units, a built-in oven and hob, wooden worktops, and a Belfast sink. The impressive living room is brimming with character, boasting a vaulted ceiling and a galleried landing that enhances the sense of space. Exposed timbers and a feature brick fireplace with a multi-fuel burner add warmth and charm, while double doors open directly into the garden. A staircase leads to the first floor, where a mezzanine bedroom and dressing area await, complete with exposed timber flooring and an ensuite bathroom.

The additional cottage provides self-contained living accommodation, making it ideal for an extended family or as a potential rental opportunity. On the ground floor there is a living room with exposed timber floors, a wood burner, a picture window to the front, and a stable door opening to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room features a range of units with solid wooden worktops, a built-in oven and hob, tiled flooring, and exposed ceiling beams, along with a stable door to the garden and a personal door into the garage, where a cloakroom is also located. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, both with timber floors. The main bedroom enjoys a picture window to the front, while the second bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe. A family bathroom completes the first floor.
