Price reduced to £595,000
|
Detached barn for sale designed by a film set designer in a Swedish, Carl Larsson style. The barn is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The property
The property is about 200 years old and is called a bank barn as it is built into a slope.
It comprises of a single storey one-room self contained cottage at one end
which is attached to a two storey section. This part has two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor
and a large open-plan living room with rustic kitchen made of oak beams on the first floor.
Attached to the barn and accessed through big glass doors is the Hayloft area. Built on three storeys, the Hayloft part of the barn has an open plan living room with small fired earth kitchen and bathroom on the first floor. On the second floor are two bedrooms and a large landing used as a play area / office and on the ground floor / basement level is the byre - a large multi functional space.
The Hayloft area and barn area both have separate entrances making the property almost like two houses in one (plus the cottage-room). Planning permission is currently being sought to legally separate the property into two dwellings.
The property would make:
* A superb studio space for an artist – masses of display areas
