Combining an exceptional conversion with sympathetic new-build elements, the result is a home of outstanding quality, where traditional craftsmanship and contemporary comfort come together effortlessly.
Since acquiring the property, the current owners have maintained it in excellent decorative order throughout, while thoughtfully enhancing the outside space with an extended patio that makes the most of its idyllic setting.
Approaching Manor Barn, the property opens into an impressive walled courtyard, immediately setting the tone for what lies beyond.
Extensive garaging, a double carport and workshop provide excellent practicality, while to the rear, a beautifully spacious garden backs onto the fields, creating a wonderfully private setting with uninterrupted countryside views.

Handmade by Kitchens Etc., this bespoke space has been thoughtfully designed around family life, featuring a four-oven electric aga, integrated appliances, hand crafted cabinetry, a generous island and an oak dining table that encourages long breakfasts, family gatherings and evenings spent entertaining.
Practicality has been considered just as carefully, with a spacious laundry room, shower room and a secondary staircase leading to a versatile first-floor wing that currently provides a home office and hobby room.
This area offers excellent flexibility and could easily be adapted to create independent accommodation for a relative or long-term guest.
Upstairs, five generous bedrooms continue the sense of space and refinement.
The guest bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the impressive principal suite enjoys a dressing room, luxurious en-suite bathroom and an impressive Juliet balcony, perfectly framing the surrounding countryside.
Outside, the garden has been carefully designed to complement the rural surroundings, with the extended patio creating a superb space for outdoor dining and entertaining while enjoying the peaceful views across the gently rising countryside.
Whether it’s summer evenings with friends or quieter moments overlooking the fields, the setting is one to be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
