5 bedroom barn conversion for sale

Situated in the middle of the countryside, Old Grove Farm is finished to a high specification inside and out, is accessed by its own drive, and is blessed with stunning uninterrupted views.

Our vendors have performed the most beautiful, extended renovation of the barn, combining period style with contemporary living, adding a further garage building, which should be seen to be believed. Set amidst generous acreage of 4.5 acres (STMS) Old Grove Farm provides the perfect family home, combining flexible living with equine facilities and further scope to develop, which includes permission for a swimming pool and double open cartshed.

The accommodation to the main barn includes a stunning open-plan reception hall with a grand galleried landing. The open-plan living extends to dining and sitting areas that are both light and spacious, with superb views over the garden. The kitchen design provides delightfully fitted, bespoke units and a super size island, where family dining and entertaining is at its best, alongside the most innovative, tucked away, pantry/scullery, allowing the main kitchen surfaces to be free of smaller appliances, where preparation space is at a premium. Our vendors have put so much thought into this design.

The study, is also neatly tucked away, for those working from home, with views over the vast driveway. There is a further separate sitting room that performs well as a cosy reception space with a newley installed wood-burner when the temperature turns a little chilly.

The principal bedroom suite is exquisitely designed to take in the views and the en-suite bathroom, as with all of the other bathrooms, provides a high specification and more of the thoughtful design of our vendors. The dressing room completes the principal suite. The fourth bedroom is ideally situated to become a nursery, if required. There are two further bedrooms, each complemented by a bathroom.

A further addition to Old Grove Farm is its adjacent annexe, accessed from the outside and inside. This is an ideal one bedroom, kitchen, sitting room and shower room residence, for independent living, or paying guests for holiday letting. Once again the innovation and design provide a cosy cottage feel to a comfortable living space.

The garage building is a well-engineered, bespoke structure featuring an oversized double garage with tailored fitted storage, a workshop with sink and WC, and an open-fronted store. Above, a versatile studio space offers further potential for hobbies or creative work. In addition to the generous interior spaces, there is ample parking on the block-paved area in front of the garage, further parking beyond, and the welcome addition of an EV charger.

As you would expect the surrounding grounds continue the theme of considered design. Landscaped lawns unfold around the home, complemented by a well-stocked kitchen garden with raised beds and a charming greenhouse. The orchard presents a delightful array of mature fruit trees in mixed varieties, adding both beauty and productivity to the outdoor space.

Our vendors currently have two post and rail paddocks, field stables and a hay store. This area could be further developed for equestrian purposes, or further landscaping for horticultural purposes.

There is much to take in with Old Grove Farm. For our vendors its time to move on and for a new custodian, it represents a seamless blend of old and new and the opportunity to embrace peaceful, idyllic, country living at its absolute best.
