***exciting & rare equestrian property set in 14 acres***
Set in an idyllic setting, Rugden Barn Farm is a striking and beautifully appointed Grade II, 3 bedroom listed barn conversion with an adjacent 2 bedroom converted dairy, offering stylish ancillary accommodation that garners significant rental income. These immaculately presented properties are situated at the end of a long private drive, in a secluded and tranquil rural setting with far reaching countryside views over the surrounding gardens and land of circa 14 acres. There is an adjacent 5 acre paddock with successful planning consent for an agricultural barn (18m x 9m) that is not included in the sale but can be purchased by separate negotiation - price on application.
The current owner has undertaken significant refurbishment, ground and drainage works and have installed new stunning oak post and rail fencing around the entire land area. There is also new stabling for at least 4 horses, a hay store and refurbished tack room making the property a fantastic and desirable equestrian proposition.

Description
Main House
The property dates from the 16th century and was converted in 2008 to provide atmospheric and versatile accommodation. The property displays silvered weatherboard elevations under steeply pitched roofs inset with contemporary styled window frames.
Internally, much of the ground floor benefits from natural stone floor tiles. Oak beams, vaulted ceilings and oak latch doors enhance the intrinsic character of the building.
The receptions rooms are arranged in an open plan fashion with the vaulted area, currently arranged as a drawing room/library being a stunning centrepiece. Further adaptable living space includes a generous newly refurbished kitchen/breakfast room, master bedroom with en-suite and two bedrooms located on the ground floor along with the family bathroom. In addition, there are several useful good sized vaulted storerooms providing potential for a number of uses.
The Annexe
The annexe is also listed, being a beautifully converted former dairy which currently has permission for use as a holiday let. Approached over its own gravel driveway and a newly installed large parking area which provides parking for several cars, the property has been sympathetically converted to complement its location.
The living room benefits from a grand open fireplace with wood burning stove, perfect for cosy winter nights. The dining room flows on from the kitchen/living room and through French doors enjoys direct access to the paved terrace. The master bedroom is located on the ground floor with double aspect windows and stylish en-suite shower room. On the first floor, there is one further bedroom and a bijou bathroom fitted with contemporary white sanitary ware.
Exterior
Rugden Barn Farm is encompassed by stunning landscaped gardens featuring rockeries, shrubberies and fruiting trees bounded by post and rail fencing and mature Beech and hornbeam hedging. There is a Heritage style oak framed double garage with secure door and gravelled driveway, providing parking next to the main house for numerous vehicles as well as a newly installed parking area adjacent to the annexe – in total both areas provide parking for approx. 12 cars.
At the rear of the property is a paved terrace providing a delightful outlook over the garden and the property’s own land, providing a truly idyllic setting for this charming property. All of the land and paddocks are now lined with high quality post and rail fencing, the driveway is freshly gravelled, a stunning new parking bay with pea shingle has been created next to the annexe.
