This 18th-century barn, recently converted to a home, is set within approximately three acres of gardens.
The barn itself has two-feet deep walls and is insulated with hemp and lime, providing natural insulation and breathability. The walls are clay-painted, enhancing air quality and creating an organic aesthetic.
The property also boasts double-glazed timber windows, a biomass boiler supplying underfloor heating, and a 6kW solar photovoltaic array, reducing electricity costs.
The living spaces are light-filled and welcoming, with a natural flow between indoor and outdoor areas.
The self-contained annex also has its own solar hot water system. The annex provides independent accommodation, ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or continued holiday or tenancy letting.
The grounds feature woods, a stream, an edible forest garden, and a mini vineyard. Figs and apricots grow on the front wall of the barn, while the forest garden produces almonds, grapes, and a variety of edible berries. A coppice wood supplies firewood.
