THE OLD BYRE The Old Byre is a fine and substantial period barn conversion of appreciable character set in a tranquil and picturesque rural setting close to the villages of Barnstone itself, Granby, Plungar and Langar in a rather special setting with the views across the surrounding countryside being a noteworthy feature.

The property was converted approximately 10 years ago and forms part of a grouping of four period homes, the original farmhouse and three conversions, in generous country gardens affording a real sense of freedom.

The Old Byre is in itself, a fabulous country home which also offers a first class equestrian facility with a superb ménage, an excellent range of timber stables and a small holding paddock complemented by further grazing paddocks which are rented from the land owner.

The striking traditional red brick period architecture of the barn lends itself ideally to conversion into a family home and the internal accommodation is configured over two floor levels with a high ridge line to the main roof creating a real sense of scale and volume to the accommodation.

PRICE GUIDE: £630,000 Set in 0.64 Acres / 0.257 Hectares (or thereabouts) with additional paddock land held on a rental basis (subject to agreement with the new owner/s)
