The Barns

This exceptional home is the result of uniting two detached industrial brick barns from the 1990s, seamlessly connected by a striking glass link. The design thoughtfully separates the space into distinct ‘living’ and ‘sleeping’ wings, each flooded with natural light through expansive glazing that beautifully frames the surrounding countryside.

The property is approached via a shingle driveway, offering covered parking for two vehicles. Externally, the barns are part clad in cedar, chosen to gracefully weather to a soft silver grey over time. This timber detail pairs harmoniously with the exposed brick base and bold black Alitherm aluminium windows and doors, creating a contemporary yet grounded aesthetic.

Inside, a dramatic double height entrance hall welcomes you with a stone clad wood burner, setting the tone for the interiors beyond. The main reception room features south facing bi-fold doors that open directly onto the garden, enhancing the indoor / outdoor connection.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen and dining area sits beneath a vaulted ceiling, serving as a spacious and versatile family hub. It also forms the central link between the living and sleeping zones of the house.

A glazed walkway leads to the private quarters, comprising a generous master suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, a family bathroom, and four further bedrooms, two of which share a stylish Jack and Jill shower room. The master bedroom stands out with its high ceilings and bi-fold doors opening onto a decked terrace, offering a peaceful retreat with views of the landscape.
