The Grade II-listed farmhouse comes complete with a barn, outbuildings and land
The project began when the couple spotted the former cattle farm for sale. Matt had always wanted to tackle a barn conversion and this was his chance.
Filled with period features, the house now has a living room, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility and a ground floor W.C.Upstairs are three ensuite bedrooms and the property is heated via wood-burning stoves and a biomass boiler. Outside, there is a walled garden and a garage. “At one point we thought we’d have to sell but then Swedish bank Handelsbanken agreed to give us a mortgage and they were brilliant,” says Sonia.There were other bumps in the road, including the need for new water pipes and filtration system and replacing single phase electricity with triple phase but it was nothing this upbeat couple couldn’t handle.
Outside there is parking, stables, stone outbuildings, a terrace with a hot tub and a barrel sauna and a lawned garden with access to the orchard. Another attraction is the potential in some of the outbuildings, which could become holiday cottages, subject to planning permission.Sonia says: “We will miss living here. It is so peaceful and private and the views and wildlife are wonderful. We have nightingales nesting here every year and you look out of the window and see deer and grouse.
