Charming converted stone barn
Escape to the quiet charm of the countryside with this beautifully renovated stone barn, offering the perfect blend of rustic character and modern comfort. Converted in 2004, this exceptional property provides approximately 203 m² of elegant living space across two thoughtfully designed levels.
From the moment you step inside, the home welcomes you with warmth and character. The spacious entrance hall opens into a stunning living area filled with natural light, enhanced by exposed wooden beams and a cosy wood-burning stove, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout the seasons.
The fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living space, making it ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining guests.
On the ground floor, the property also features a dedicated home office, a guest WC, a utility/laundry room, and a comfortable bedroom with its own en suite shower room, perfect for guests or convenient single-level living.
Upstairs, a charming mezzanine landing overlooks the living area and leads to two generously sized bedrooms. Each bedroom benefits from its own private shower room or bathroom, offering comfort, privacy, and flexibility for family or visitors. A walk-in dressing area completes the primary suite.
Outside, the landscaped walled garden provides a peaceful and private setting with a lovely terrace and courtyard, ideal for outdoor dining, relaxing mornings, or enjoying the tranquil rural surroundings. The property also includes a garage with both internal and external access.
Located in a peaceful countryside setting while remaining only 6 km from shops, services, and amenities, this charming home offers the ideal balance between serenity and convenience.
Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, a countryside retreat, or an elegant lock-up-and-leave holiday home, this unique converted barn is ready to welcome you.

Opening Hours
Monday to Friday 9am - 12pm, 2pm-6pmDiscuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
