Property description
\"A Hidden Gem\" is the comment that is consistently written in the guest book by visitors to this exceptional barn conversion and any visitor to this property will soon realise why. The property is being offered to the market for the first time as it was converted in the early 1990's by the present owner from ruinous barns of the original manor house the history of which dates back to the 15th century. With visitors finding it difficult to leave such a peaceful setting bordering onto RSPB wildlife areas the property commands unique views over the grounds, and beyond to the rural landscape which is the epitome of what people consider to be a picture of rural countryside. EPC: E.Whilst the property is presently split to generate a substantial income from holiday lets, with the properties size and it's popularity generates bookings for over 75% of the year, it could be easily converted back into one residence, or with the smaller section being equally attractive be used to continue to generate rental income, or provide an annex for a relative. Whilst the property itself provides many interesting and unique features, this is only enhanced by the superb grounds in which it stands, extending to approximately 9 acres, which is roughly split to provide 4 acres of gardens and woodland, with 5 acres of paddock.
