Modern barn conversion near Colchester hits the market

The barn, which was formerly part of Hovels Farm Estate in Coggeshall and was converted in 2015 and its courtyard is listed as being of architectural or historical interest grade II. 

On more than 3,600 sq ft, the property has been transformed into a welcoming and light-filled home, featuring everything a modern accommodation needs. 

However, the fine period features such as exposed timberwork have been preserved, and fit in seamlessly with the modern conveniences of underfloor heating.

The home in Holfield Grange is entered from the front into the living and open-plan kitchen area, featuring large windows to maximise natural light. 

High ceilings create a bright and airy atmosphere, leading to the kitchen which is equipped with a fully functional kitchen, custom units and high-end appliances. 

The seamless transition from living, dining and kitchen area makes it the true heart of the home, and ideal for entertaining. 

Following the inner hall, the rest of the ground floor accommodation can be reached, as well as the rear terrace. 

The main bedroom is located in the east of the barn, and features a spacious dressing area as well as an ensuite bathroom.

Next to it is the spacious family bathroom, which comes with a high-end bathtub. 

Facing north is a dedicated study, very convenient for home office purposes while one of the rooms has been transformed into a private gym. 

A second bedroom is located between the gym and the study. 

The first floor offers three additional bedrooms, one of them includes an ensuite bathroom and a dressing room. 

Another living room marks a stunning feature of the home, with vaulted ceilings and access to a second office space. 

The home can be reached by a country lane and is guarded by electric gates, leading to the enclosed courtyard area with ample parking space.
