ABOUT THIS HOUSE

Located at the end of a long lane, Butcher's Barn takes full advantage of this peaceful and private setting. This magnificent house of almost 5,500 sq ft. was originally a barn and converted in the 90's, the result being a compelling mix of fresh, light and modern spaces, yet the house retains a clear relationship to the agricultural history of the area. The accommodation throughout is generous and the numerous reception rooms allow a real flexibility as to how they could be used.



Everything here is about scale, and the garden and paddocks are no different, whether a keen equestrian or if you simply just want to enjoy the peace and tranquillity that having your own land offers, Butcher's Barn makes for an extremely attractive package.
