An immaculately presented five-bedroom, timber-framed contemporary barn conversion extending to approximately 3,743 sq ft (347 sq m), set in a beautiful rural position on the edge of the sought-after village of Snape. Watering Barn is offered with an adjoining paddock of circa 3.8 acres (STMS) and provides exceptional, well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. The principal house is complemented by a detached coach house annex, featuring a games room and self-contained living accommodation above, ideal for guests, multi-generational living or ancillary use. The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private and luxurious setting, incorporating a swim spa, sauna, gym and cricket net, all set against open countryside and designed to make the most of the property’s idyllic rural outlook.

The barn has been comprehensively refurbished and interior-designed to an exacting standard, with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, materials and detail throughout. The interior combines the refined feel of a Knightsbridge townhouse with relaxed rural living and outstanding entertaining space, resulting in a family house of rare quality and finish for this location. The property is approached via a long no-through lane and enjoys open views across its own adjoining meadow and woodland paddock, providing a high degree of privacy, outlook and flexibility of use.
