Approached through electrically operated gates into a private courtyard setting, the property immediately delivers a striking first impression. Internally, the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to provide versatile family living space centred around a spectacular open-plan dining and entertaining area with vaulted ceiling and extensive glazing, flooding the home with natural light.
Swallow Barn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial lifestyle property with undeniable “wow factor”, ideally suited to modern family living whilst retaining all the charm and integrity expected from a barn conversion of this calibre.
Description - The accommodation is both extensive and beautifully presented, showcasing a wealth of original character features alongside stylish contemporary additions.
At the heart of the home lies a stunning open-plan breakfast kitchen and dining/family room, undoubtedly one of the standout features of the property. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with quality cabinetry, substantial central island and a traditional Aga set within an exposed brick inglenook, whilst the adjoining dining and family area benefits from dramatic vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and bi-folding doors opening onto the gardens — creating an exceptional space for entertaining and family life alike.
The elegant living room provides a more formal retreat, featuring generous proportions and a welcoming atmosphere, while additional practical accommodation includes a useful boot room and cloakroom facilities.
To the first floor, the impressive galleried landing overlooks the principal reception space below and leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite enjoys fitted storage and en suite facilities, with the remaining bedrooms being served by stylish bathroom accommodation, making the layout ideal for growing families or visiting guests.
Throughout the property, careful attention has been given to preserving the barn’s original charm, with exposed brickwork, oak beams and quality materials complementing the light-filled contemporary interior design.
Externally, Swallow Barn enjoys a private and beautifully enclosed setting with landscaped gardens and attractive courtyard areas designed for both relaxation and entertaining.
The front approach is particularly impressive, with brick walling, mature planting and electric gates opening into a generous paved courtyard providing extensive parking. The gardens offer a delightful mix of seating areas, established borders and lawned sections, all enjoying a high degree of privacy and complementing the character of the property perfectly.
The outdoor spaces provide an ideal environment for al fresco dining, family gatherings and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Separate from the main residence is a substantial detached garage/workshop building providing excellent storage, workshop potential or secure parking.
The building is well suited to a variety of uses including hobby space, additional storage or potential home-working requirements, subject to any necessary consents. Combined with the extensive driveway parking, the property offers excellent practicality alongside its considerable aesthetic appeal.

- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
