A Rare Lifestyle Opportunity Highfield Barn presents an exceptional opportunity for an incoming purchaser, offering not only a beautifully converted two-bedroom barn but also a substantial crew yard with a range of sizeable barns and approximately seven acres of land. Nestled in a peaceful rural location on the Lincolnshire Fens, between Whaplode and Whaplode St Catherine, the property combines modern living with the charm and tranquillity of the countryside. The Residence The residential dwelling is a conversion of a former farm building, thoughtfully transformed in 2021 into a modern family home. It comprises a bright and spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, two generous double bedrooms each with en suite facilities, a study area, and a utility room. The property is approached through an enclosed, sunny courtyard, creating a true suntrap and an ideal space for al fresco dining and entertaining. Adjacent to the main house is an open-bay cart shed, which could potentially be incorporated into the property to create additional living accommodation, subject to planning consent. Beyond the cart shed lies an enclosed, predominantly lawned garden, providing further private outdoor space.
