For Sale8 Bedroom House in Strixton, Wellingborough£1,400,000

The Old Barn in Strixton was formerly in the ownership of Queen Elizabeth II as part of the Duchy of Lancaster estate. This 17th century barn was bought out of the Queens estate in 1995 by the present owners and underwent a cultured conversion to form the fine residence we see today. The conversion works to this grand tithe barn were carried out with the emphasis on the use of natural materials thus retaining as much as possible of the appearance of the original cartsheds and barn. The Property A Grade II listed home dating by best records to the early 17th century. After lengthy and painstaking conversion works the owners have produced a fairly unique eight bedroom home currently configured as a five bedroom property with two annexes. The Old Barn stands in 3.5 acres of grounds incorporating gardens, fields and woodland. During the conversion works, the existing character features were retained and improved subsequently aligning themselves with the installation of more refined modern eco features. The principal dwelling has five bedrooms and five reception rooms. It also has attached a one bedroom annexe and a two bedroom annexe. These buildings create three sides of a gated and walled private courtyard garden at the front of the property.
