Stunning detached barn conversion with 3 acres, panoramic countryside views, sitting room with feature fireplace, utility room, and outbuildings with conversion potential (STPP).
Enjoying a commanding position surrounded by unspoilt farmland, Boskins presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored period barn conversion set in approximately 3 acres of landscaped gardens and paddocks, with far-reaching panoramic views and exceptional privacy.
Approached via its own sweeping private driveway, this unique rural retreat combines timeless charm with modern comfort. The property has been thoughtfully restored by the current owner, retaining a wealth of original features throughout. A highlight of the home is the spacious Sitting Room extension, complete with a striking feature fireplace and exposed beams - perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.
Inside, the accommodation is both welcoming and practical. A generous Reception Porch opens into the central Reception Hall. The impressive, triple aspect Sitting Room offers defined areas for dining and studying, flooded with natural light and enriched by character details including a beamed ceiling and focal fireplace. The handcrafted Kitchen / Breakfast Room is fitted with a wide range of quality units, complemented by slate worktops, a central island, and a breakfast bar for informal dining. A particularly useful Utility Room provides essential additional storage and laundry space.
Upstairs, a bright Galleried Landing with large Velux windows leads to 3 well-proportioned Bedrooms, a stylish Family Bathroom, and a recently refitted contemporary Shower Room.
Outside, the grounds are a true delight. Carefully landscaped to create a range of outdoor spaces, they include sunny patios and terraces, formal lawns, a peaceful wildlife pond, and two neatly maintained paddocks - perfect for equestrian use, a hobby farm or simply enjoying country living.
A selection of traditional barns and outbuildings currently serve as stabling and livestock shelters, and offer exciting potential for conversion or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
This is a rare chance to own a characterful countryside residence with scope for further enhancement, set in a stunning rural location with no immediate neighbours, yet within easy reach of local amenities.
