Castle Rising barn conversion with entertainment area and heated pool up for sale for £1.2 million

The Old Barn at Castle Rising started life as a hay barn with cattle sheds. Now, after an imaginative, wonderfully designed and carefully planned conversion it is a fabulous brick and carrstone home.

It is located down a quiet lane along with some more equally impressive properties in the tranquil village of Castle Rising.

And it is said that material used in the construction was once part of the village castle so there is historic interest, too.

The Old Barn will make a new owner and their family a perfect forever home – though they will have to pay £1.2million for the privilege.

When the barn was originally converted the design and layout was carefully considered with the aim of creating two main spaces – the entertainment area with opulent rooms, log burners and easy access to the outdoors; and the sleeping quarters at the other end.

This property is versatile and easily adaptable to suit a variety of lifestyles with bedrooms located on two levels.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped with a high standard of finish. Granite worktops, solid wood storage units, and a timeless butler sink and Aga all help to create a fantastic place enjoy cooking and entertaining.

From double height ceilings, to an inglenook style fireplace and log burner, the reception rooms are elegant and steeped in character.

The garden room, with vaulted roof, leads to the swimming pool area.

The bedrooms are well-proportioned, all being double in size, and two of them benefit from having their own en-suite shower rooms.

The outside was also a carefully thought-out area. To the front, an enclosed spacious drive leads to the generous, triple cart shed.

The rear garden add further to the rare tranquillity that The Old Barn offers. The heated pool is a great addition, used all year round, while the field views and patio area make it a perfect spot for al fresco dining.

Castle Rising is an unspoilt village with a wealth of history including one of the most famous 12th century castles in England with the keep being amongst the finest surviving examples in the country.
