Matthew and his family were taken back by the quirkiness and charm on offer in this period barn. “When we viewed

it, we recognised that there was so much

potential to unlock,” says Matthew. “The village

location was also a huge attraction; as a family

we wanted a place where we knew our children

would grow up with the best quality of life.”

insight “When we bought the property in 2009, we immediately

begun with the internal improvements to create a better flow

throughout the house. The biggest improvement was introducing a

new corridor, to add on a double bedroom, this was done with a

team of very helpful builders who understood the need to keep all

improvements sympathetic to the period of the property,” explains

Matthew. “We also exposed a lot of hidden beams which means

we are very lucky to have wooden beams in nearly every room.”


“There is a lot to appreciate about the property; one

of my favourite rooms is the cosy snug but we also spend a lot of

time in the open plan kitchen/living area as there is an inglenook

fire and French doors that lead onto the garden,” says Matthew.

“You literally reveal the house with every door you open,” he

continues. “Most people are surprised when they see the size of

the rooms and the amount of storage we have created by building

tongue and groove wardrobes that fit into the bedrooms walls,”

says Matthew.


“Established trees and mature beds make the garden a private, safe haven for our family. It is the perfect combination of indoor and outdoor living.”
