Tucked away along a quiet lane in the small, highly regarded village of Stockerston, Firs Farm is a hidden gem – a beautiful barn conversion offering peace, privacy and endless potential, all set within approximately 1.7 acres of gardens and paddock land (subject to measured survey). With protected countryside views, flexible living accommodation and a wonderful sense of history, it is a rare opportunity to acquire a property that offers both a charming country lifestyle and excellent proximity to Uppingham and the wider amenities of the area.The house itself forms part of what was once a traditional working dairy farm, originally dating back at least 250 years. In the mid-1980s, the barns were sensitively converted by a developer, preserving the authenticity of the buildings while creating a welcoming and liveable home. The layout of the property is centred around a charming central south facing courtyard with a water feature, providing a beautiful outlook from several rooms and a calming heart to the home. The main reception room is a lovely space, enjoying dual aspects and views towards the garden, while the kitchen and dining room sit adjacent, offering practical and sociable spaces with doors that flow naturally to the courtyard outside. The kitchen itself, fitted in a classic style, is both practical and characterful, with a bay window looking onto the courtyard and fields beyond.The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous, comprising a spacious double bedroom, dressing area  and large en-suite shower room. Two further bedrooms are located nearby, both doubles, one en-suite the other with a dedicated shower room, providing flexibility for family living or guest accommodation. Additionally, there are three further rooms currently used as studies but easily adaptable to further bedrooms if desired. This adaptability is reflected across the property, which could readily evolve to suit the changing needs of a growing family, those seeking multi-generational living, or simply purchasers requiring ample room to work from home.One of the highlights of Firs Farm is the wing of the house containing the beautiful garden room – once the old dairy building – a stunning space with exposed original beams and feature windows, a real connection to the property’s agricultural past. Externally, Firs Farm continues to impress. The grounds, extending to approximately 1.7 acres (subject to measured survey), include a formal lawned garden dotted with mature trees, borders and shrubs, established fruit trees, a large enclosed paddock with its own entrance off Church Lane and the central courtyard. There is a stable block offering three stables with an attached large car port and barns to the rear. An attached garage providing secure parking and additional storage. Over the years, the land has been used in a variety of ways, including grazing for sheep and ponies, and it would lend itself beautifully to small-scale/hobby equestrian use or simple enjoyment as part of a country lifestyle.The setting is truly idyllic.

It was also an exciting renovation project and within commuting distance from Bristol for work.The house and the two bed annexe were in need of some care and attention and I have sympathetically upgraded them throughout. Work included plastering all rooms, rewiring, relaying floors, modernising the kitchen and bathroom and opening two original, bricked up, fireplaces. The real developments were the conversion of the small adjoining barn into the dining room, a fabulous sunroom and the creation of a massive, waterproofed and heated basement room.I love all the rooms, but am very proud of the stunning, curved, oak framed sunroom; that is always flooded with light and has pretty views to the garden: it is the ideal spot to settle and relax with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. The kitchen is where we spend most of our time and perfect for the passionate cook but also the place for family kitchen meals, plus the welcoming snug corner with a large sofa and wood burner for times when you want to relax with a coffee. Upstairs two bedrooms have large dormer windows where you look across the countryside to the Malverns and May Hill. Each room has a delightful mix of warmth, comfort and sophistication.The Rowans is a hospitable home where our guests can appreciate the elegance of the dining room, the warm and cosy sitting room with its huge fireplace and intriguing, original window that looks through to the kitchen; whilst the basement is the perfect games and party room. There have been many happy events when friends and family gathered in the house and garden.The wildlife garden is a glorious celebration of nature, with a twenty-eight tree orchard, and mature, colourful borders. It is a haven for wildlife with sightings of hedgehogs, rabbits, woodpeckers, jays and buzzards. In the back garden there are the remains of a Roman-era forge and well, hinting at the site's ancient past. Separately, in the front garden a charmingwisteria-covered walkway welcomes you, and in summer becomes a magical tunnel, the perfect setting for alfresco meals. The garden really has become an outside living room, enjoyed many summers as a haven of peace and natural beauty.We are so lucky to be just a few minutes' walk to the local garage and grocery store, or to the Severn and Wye Smokery with its food hall, coffee shop, restaurant and fishmonger. Westbury on Severn and Newnham on Severn are very short drives, and Gloucester is just over eight miles away, surrounded by the beautiful Severn Valley and Malvern Hills.The house has given me twenty-one happy years but is now too big and the time has come to downsize. The Rowans can now welcome another family to take over and look after it for the next twenty years.
