A building thought to be one of the earliest barn conversions in the country is up for sale for the first time in 50 years.

Ladder Farm Hall, located in Groton near Sudbury, is a wood-paneled structure set in just under an acre of gardens.

Converted in the early 1970s, the architects were not constrained by modern planning limitations which means the barn has many wide windows letting in a vast amount of natural light.
