Description

This charming detached three-bedroom barn conversion, located in Colwell Bay, has a rich history dating back to the Napoleonic Wars when it served as an officer's mess kitchen. The property boasts generous ceiling heights downstairs, a welcoming reception hall with stained glass door and window panels, and a spacious living room with a large bay window and open fireplace. The kitchen has external access to the side of the property and leads to a bright, triple-aspect dining room.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. The property has a unique charm and character, with many original features still intact. The outside space is equally impressive, with a shaded rear courtyard, sunny rear terrace, formal garden, and informal garden, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

The property is located just a short walk from the scenic Colwell Bay and the village of Freshwater, offering a range of amenities and local shops.
