This home has been a true haven, and while we would happily stay forever, our farming family has grown, and we now need more land attached. Over the years, we have made many improvements to the property, including extensions and landscaping. When we first arrived, there wasn’t even a driveway, but we’ve poured our hearts into transforming this place into the beautiful home it is today. The location was a major draw for us—quiet, private, and fully immersed in the countryside. Yet, when we needed to travel for work, we loved how easily accessible it was from the A38, just a few minutes off the main road. The garden has been perfect for us, with lunches on the decking overlooking the countryside and evenings spent with friends, enjoying BBQs on the patio. Barn Cottage is such a sociable home—many parties and gatherings have flowed seamlessly from the indoors to the outdoors, with plenty of parking for everyone. Our son has made great use of the summerhouse, a space where he could enjoy independence as he grew up. With heating and power, it was a truly functional area. The barn conversion itself has been a dream—cool in the summer and warm in the winter, with affordable running costs thanks to the newly installed boiler, wood burner, and solar panels. We will genuinely miss our life here at Barn Cottage, but it’s time for us to embark on our next chapter. We are excited for someone new to make their own memories and begin their life in this wonderful home.
