Since the completion of the barn conversion, both properties have been integrated around a central drive and mature garden area. A Flemish bonded wall has also been added to separate the vegetable garden from the main gardens. 

The main house is entered through a handmade oak front door. A stone-tiled entrance hall, with a cloakroom, leads into the open-plan kitchen/diner with part-vaulted ceiling, polished granite island and open fireplace.

The spacious, two-bed barn conversion is located towards the rear of the plot.

Fenn Wright say the timber-framed building "combines the old-world charm of solid oak beams with modern triple-glazing, floor-to-ceiling windows and a polished concrete floor, with underfloor heating".

It provides "significant income" as a holiday cottage and has also become a family favourite for parties and overflow accommodation when friends come to stay.

The left of the hallway leads into a large sitting room with vaulted ceiling and oak-framed, full-height windows. Double doors lead onto the private garden at the back of the building, where a large lawn area sits in front of woodland.

A handmade oak staircase leads from the sitting room up to a mezzanine area, giving access to two double bedrooms with wooden flooring throughout.
