A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire this beautifully presented 2/3 bedroom semi detached barn conversion, occupying a superb rural setting within the sought after parish of St Gennys, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with grounds and paddock extending in total to approximately 2.59 acres.

Old Dairy Barn offers a wonderful balance between traditional character and contemporary living, with the original stone barn providing warmth, charm and a wealth of period features, whilst the impressive modern extension, added by the current owners in 2022, creates a striking contrast with vaulted ceilings, excellent natural light and a versatile mezzanine level.

The ground floor also includes a useful study area and sitting/hobbies room, providing flexibility for home working, guest accommodation or additional reception space.

The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite shower room, together with a well appointed family bathroom.
