Occupying a serene position within 1.65 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, Midsummer Barn is a distinguished Grade II listed former tithe barn, thoughtfully converted by the current owners into a remarkable country residence. Marrying timeless character with contemporary comfort, the property retains a wealth of original features including exposed oak beams, hand-hewn timbers, and striking Inglenook fireplaces — all contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.
Set behind a private approach and complemented by a double bay cart lodge and workshop, the property offers a seamless blend of period charm and modern functionality.
Accommodation
Laid out over two spacious floors, the interiors are centred around a stunning open-plan sitting room, where a full-height brick Inglenook fireplace and chimney breast create a dramatic focal point. Natural oak flooring and bespoke full-height glazed doors with wooden shutters invite abundant natural light, opening onto the terrace and gardens beyond. The adjoining kitchen and study flow harmoniously from this space, offering exceptional connectivity for both daily living and entertaining.
A glazed porch welcomes you into the home, creating an immediate connection to the outside landscape and setting the tone for the light-filled spaces within.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a perfect blend of rustic elegance and practicality, with traditional cabinetry, wood-effect worktops, a Smeg Range cooker, twin butler sinks, and a walk-in pantry with extensive storage. A separate utility room and boot room offer further functionality with direct access to both front and rear gardens.
The ground floor also features a formal dining room with striking tiled flooring and floor-to-ceiling glazing that opens directly onto the paved terrace — ideal for al fresco dining in the warmer months. A snug/living room and a dedicated study with built-in storage provide additional reception spaces, perfect for quiet retreats or working from home.
Bedrooms
Accommodation is equally impressive upstairs, where the principal suite enjoys a semi-vaulted ceiling, a generous en-suite bathroom, and a beautifully appointed dressing room. A guest suite on the ground floor, complete with a spacious en-suite shower room, offers comfort and privacy for visitors.
First-Floor Reception
A true highlight of the property is the first-floor principal reception room — an atmospheric space with dramatic vaulted ceilings, a commanding wood-burning stove, and panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Overlooking the sitting room and kitchen below, this elevated room is ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing amidst the unique architectural heritage of the home.
Exterior
The grounds are as enchanting as the interior — thoughtfully landscaped to provide a variety of outdoor living areas, from formal lawns to secluded seating areas and terraces. Whether hosting garden parties, enjoying a peaceful morning coffee, or exploring the expansive grounds, the gardens offer a tranquil sanctuary with year-round appeal.
Midsummer Barn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of genuine historical significance, beautifully reimagined for modern living. An ideal country retreat with superb entertaining spaces and idyllic surroundings — this is English country living at its finest.
