5 Bed Barn Conversion For Sale

The Hunter Stables forms part of a private and exclusive gated development at Old Thornville in the heart of the Golden Triangle. Perfectly tucked away, yet in an excellent position down a half mile private drive with far reaching views over open countryside, the development is centred around Old Thornville, a grade II* country house, with a further five tastefully designed barn conversions completing the re-development of original farmyard complex. The Hunter Stables is the final piece of a 7-year long project which we believe has created one of the most exclusive developments in the area.

Planning consent has been granted to create a one off, detached family home, approaching 3,000sq ft. Linking two existing, well maintained, brick-built barns together via a light and airy new build entrance hall with wood cladding and zinc roof. A spacious driveway will provide parking for numerous cars with electric charging point and the home will be heated using an air source heat pump.

Offering a superb design and specification throughout, whilst boasting bespoke contemporary features, with timeless charm and character. The property in brief, will comprise: 

Large reception hall with vaulted ceiling spanning the full length of the hallway, with French doors and views to the garden. 

A large open-plan kitchen diner with vaulted ceiling, original oak truss and two sets of bi-folding doors leading out to the terrace. 

A separate large utility room with back door entrance.

 A 50m2 living room with further bi-fold doors to the garden

Home office, Downstairs W/C and fifth double bedroom serviced by en suite shower room.

To the second floor are four double bedrooms, two of which are serviced by en suite bathrooms and the other two share a generous house bathroom, with both bath and separate shower.

The Existing Buildings

Neither of the existing buildings have structural defects and further to this, the principal building has been extremely well maintained in recent years including;

Full repointing.

New roof

Reinforced concrete floor, which complies with residential building regulations.

Easi-joist first floor which complies with residential building regulations.

Roof structure and guttering are suitable for the new residential use.

Electric, telephone and water connections already in place

We anticipate that this will save in the region of £150,000 on the final conversions costs versus a conventional barn conversion.
