5 bedroom barn conversion for sale

A Grade II Listed, 17th-century detached five bedroom barn conversion with a swimming pool, integrated and separate double garages and driveway parking, set in over 2.5 acres of garden and paddocks in an AONB on the edge of Naphill village overlooking open countryside. The converted 17th-century ash framed threshing barn on a flint and brick plinth has a mainly weatherboarded exterior beneath a clay tiled roof. The north side has a cat slide roof, interrupted by the original gabled cart entrance, the opposite double storey entrance in the sitting room is glazed. The building retains many period features, notably the internal exposed structural timbers, rising in the sitting room through three floors to the vaulted roof. The conversion has been done to a consistently high standard, there are handmade casement windows, ledge and brace doors, and a secondary hand-built spiral staircase (all oak). The conscientious design has repurposed an historic agricultural building to create a home with versatile family accommodation that is naturally lit and practical. The layout also takes full advantage of the far-reaching views over the easterly facing garden and paddocks, and the valley beyond.
