4 Bedroom Terraced House

Tucked away along a quiet farm track in a truly rural setting, 1 Barn Meadow Cottages is an end of terrace character home believed to date back to the early 1900s, originally forming part of a row of traditional farm workers’ cottages.

The property was built as a three-bedroom home but has since been subdivided to create the current four-bedroom layout, offering flexible accommodation across two floors. While the house is now in need of extensive modernisation, it represents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a bespoke countryside home, with excellent scope to improve, remodel and potentially extend.

Of particular note, the home has benefitted from a recent surface-mounted re-wire, along with double glazed windows, offering an important head start for any incoming refurbishment works.

Occupying a notably wide plot, the cottage offers potential for a side and/or rear extension (subject to the usual consents) and may also lend itself to the addition of a garage.

To the rear is a long, overgrown garden which

could become a superb outdoor space. A useful brick outbuilding provides further scope and could be converted into a home office, gym, hobby room or studio (subject to any required permissions). Enjoying a southerly aspect, the property takes in open views across the Chapel Down vineyards, creating a genuinely special outlook.

A rare chance to acquire a home with history, space and huge potential, set in an exceptional countryside position.
