An exceptional and highly individual barn conversion, created from a former pair of traditional barns, set within approximately 1.8 acres on the northern edge of The Forest of Dean, offering versatile accommodation, a striking galleried studio with study, and further development potential. Northend Court represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of exceptional character and versatility within a truly idyllic setting. Originally comprising two barns set perpendicular to one another and enclosed by traditional stone boundary walls, Northend Court has been thoughtfully and sympathetically transformed.At its heart lies a Grade II Listed 17th-century threshing barn, showcasing magnificent oak framing and stone gable ends, now seamlessly connected via a bespoke oak-framed link to an adjoining 18th-century brick barn. The result is a home of exceptional architectural interest, where heritage craftsmanship and contemporary living exist in perfect harmony.Developed by the current owners with great care and attention to detail, Northend Court now offers a wonderful balance of character, space, and lifestyle, all set within a peaceful and private position surrounded by open countryside.STEP INSIDE
