About this property

Formerly the timber yard of The Waterstock Estate. The barn itself dates back to 1849 and originally served as the estate’s carpenter’s workshop. Both remained in operation until the mid-1950s.

The current owners constructed their home in 1985, while preserving the original barn as a superb workshop space. From the entrance hall, you can access both the spacious sitting room and the kitchen/dining area. The sitting room is generously proportioned and features a charming open fireplace—perfect for cosy evenings. This room leads into an attractive conservatory, with lovely views of the front garden. A particular highlight is the farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room. This light-filled space is fitted with elegant shaker-style units, granite worktops, a built-in oven, dishwasher, and the added benefit of an Everhot range. Exposed ceiling beams add character, enhancing the room’s rustic charm. Additionally there's a practical boot room, a utility room, and a shower room. Leading upstairs, the principal bedroom includes a range of built-in wardrobes. There are two further generously sized double bedrooms, along with a large and well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside
The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn, dotted with mature fruit trees. There is parking accommodating numerous vehicles and a spacious woodshed. The barn is a standout feature — currently serving as a workshop, it benefits from existing power, offering potential for a variety of uses (subject to planning permission). The rear extensive gardens are truly impressive, including a large vegetable garden, sweeping lawns, mature trees, and a selection of garden buildings such as a greenhouse, summer house, and wood store. This private outdoor space creates a serene retreat, perfect for both relaxation and gardening enthusiasts.
