Barn House and Mansion - Essex Barn House

This converted barn retains the character of its agricultural past while delivering modern comfort throughout. Original wooden beams frame high ceilings in the open-plan living spaces, and a wood burner provides warmth for cooler evenings. Everything happens on the ground floor: the living and dining areas flow into a kitchen fitted with range cooker, dishwasher, American fridge freezer and coffee machine, with bi-fold doors in both rooms leading directly to the garden.

Three bedrooms—two with king beds and one with a double—share a bathroom with both bath and shower cubicle. The kitchen breakfast area and games room give you plenty of space to spread out. Outside, a private hot tub sits in the garden alongside seating areas and a gas barbecue. You have parking for three cars and the essentials are covered: electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wi-fi, plus initial logs for the wood burner. One well-behaved pet stays free. No smoking throughout.
