Property description
This unique residence is tucked away down a quiet cul-de-sac, right in the heart of the Offords. The Old Barn is a well-appointed luxury five bay barn conversion finished in a contemporary style, offering four bedrooms and four bathrooms, as well as a significant combination of period features. The Old Barn is thought to have origins from as early as the 16th century and was originally part of the estate belonging to the Manor House.
The barn had a full renovation in the 1980s and was completely reconstructed and transformed into the impressive home that it is today. The current owners bought the barn in the 1990s and over the recent years, have spent time modernising the property to a high standard. The design of the property is such that the exposed brick linings can be seen throughout the ground floor rooms. The barn provides versatile accommodation, designed and spread over five bays, approximately 3000sqft on two floors with a masterful galleried landing.

Also a stunning guest room providing welcome privacy for guests. On the ground floor, the property flows from bay to bay offering a combination of wonderful open plan space and formal reception rooms.
