Wild Strawberry Barn is an architecturally designed barn conversion, thoughtfully reimagined by the current owners to unlock the original building’s true potential. Completed in 2018, the result is a grand yet welcoming home of around 3,500 sq ft (main house), blending contemporary comfort with characterful nods. Flooded with natural light, the spaces feel open and flowing while still retaining a cosy, warm atmosphere. Set within a beautiful countryside backdrop, the property’s sense of arrival is equally special: approached through the private Woolston Estate, the drive creates a wonderfully grand and almost dreamlike entrance. Driving through your private electric gates brings you to the turning circle with ample parking.
Entering through a spacious hallway with built-in storage, you’re led straight to the heart of the home—an impressive open-plan living area. Cleverly zoned for dining, relaxing and entertaining, it remains flexible to suit your layout. French doors open to the patio for an easy indoor–outdoor feel. Highlights include an exposed brick wall with log burner, two offices, and a standout hidden “secret snug” concealed behind a bookcase—a cosy retreat with garden access and a double-sided fireplace shared with the main living space. Off the living area is a beautifully appointed kitchen with a large breakfast island housing an induction hob with integrated extractor, wine cooler, generous storage and ample prep space. The kitchen also offers two integrated ovens, a coffee machine, a microwave/oven and a large fridge/freezer.
A hallway leads to the bedroom wing, which can be discreetly closed off with a glass sliding pocket door. Here you’ll find a utility room and plant room with patio access, a family bathroom, two spacious bedrooms (one with patio doors), a further bedroom with en-suite, and an exceptional principal suite. The main bedroom includes French doors, built-in wardrobes and a spa-style en-suite with Jacuzzi bath, twin shower with jets, and twin basins.
Most accommodation is on one level, but stairs off the kitchen lead to a cinema room with its own en-suite, also suitable as a fifth bedroom. Smart-home features enhance the main living areas.
Outside, the grounds are equally impressive. Set in around 4 acres, they include sweeping lawns, paddocks, woodland and multiple patio areas. A paddock to the right of the entrance features a versatile outbuilding with stable section, kitchenette and WC—formerly an office but ideal for stabling, storage or hobbies. There is also a two-vehicle car port with a third bay offering mezzanine storage, plus power and water. A substantial 45ft x 30ft outbuilding with vehicle access, power and water adds further potential, alongside chicken and sheep coops and an original “goat” shed with its own utilities.
