Brick Barn is situated to the north of Brickbarns Farm House and is a Grade II listed barn with a gable dovecote. A quote from the listing states “…of C18 origin…probably the only remaining example in the county of its kind - a barn and dovecote combined.” The property has been the subject of an extensive programme of renovation, extension and conversion by the current owners, leading to the creation of an impressive, contemporary home. The interior is beautifully light and airy throughout, with impressive floor to ceiling windows framing the beautiful views over the grounds and surrounding countryside and the painstaking attention paid to other details such as the glazing of the individual nesting niches, industrial vintage-style lighting and exposed timbers enhances the barn’s unique character and form.

The owners have installed a Tempest pressurised hot water system, a Vailliant boiler and underfloor heating throughout. The accommodation is well planned and versatile with a bedroom wing to the north and, in the main body of the barn at the southern end, an open plan principal living area/ kitchen and breakfast room with 8 meter high vaulted ceilings. The kitchen is finished in light grey gloss with soft-close cupboards and drawers, white marble work surfaces, a substantial island, AEG integral double oven, induction hob, microwave, dishwasher, Blomberg fridge/ freezer and a CDA wine fridge. There is also a utility room and access to undercover parking, while two mezzanine floors leading off the living area provide opportunities to create a study and a comfortable snug.

The north wing has three double bedrooms, including a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, another bedroom (also ensuite) and a third bedroom served by a family bathroom. All three bathrooms are furnished in a contemporary style and are fully tiled, with finishing touches in white marble and Scudo, Roca and Geberit fittings.

The barn is set well back on its plot and lies behind in well-tended gardens. The approach is via a broad gravel drive (shared with Brick Barns Farm House), which passes across the front of the barn and culminates in a parking area next to the covered parking bay attached to the house. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with young beech hedging and post and rail fencing along the southern boundary, raised beds of lavender, ornamental grasses and box hedging dotted along the terrace.
