Property Guide Price £700,000 - £750,000. Tucked well away from passing traffic in the heart of Woolavington, Old Cock Pit Barn offers something truly rare: a striking barn conversion of generous proportions alongside a beautifully restored Grade II listed Cockpit, now a self-contained cottage. Together they create a home of charm, versatility and history, perfect for those seeking space, character and a special setting.
The Main BarnStylishly and sympathetically converted in the late 2000s, the barn is filled with natural light and showcases fine craftsmanship throughout. The impressive, double-height main living space features exposed oak beams, stone floors with underfloor heating, a central fireplace and floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames the garden.
Open plan with the living area, the kitchen is superbly appointed with a central oak island and breakfast bar, Belfast sink, 4-oven Aga, additional hob and oven, plus integrated appliances. Throughout the ground floor there is the comfort of underfloor heating (LPG) and for practicality there is a separate utility room, cloakroom and storage areas.
Upstairs, the vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers continue. The principal bedroom includes a dressing area and stylish open-plan bathroom with bath, shower, basin and WC. Two further bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and the family bathroom has been recently renovated to an excellent standard.
The CockpitA rare survivor from the 12th century, this remarkable Grade II, circular building was once used for cock-fighting and has been beautifully restored. With its domed ceiling, thatched roof, buttresses and vine-clad walls, it is full of charm and history. Now a delightful self-contained cottage, it includes an open-plan living space with Aga, kitchenette and stone floor, a shower room, and a first-floor bedroom reached by an internal or external staircase. Ideal for guests, independent family living or as an income opportunity.
