Property description

Offered for sale through Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire, it is easy to be misled by the unassuming nature of Main Street Barn as it retains the honest simplicity of its former history, however the considered use of traditional techniques and materials supplemented by modern efficiency, has created a stunning home of outstanding proportion and flexibility. Designed around the central threshing area and midstrey with its great doors, the origins of this important Grade II Listed complex and the incorporation of slit windows, exposed truss and beam work, retained brick work and timber flooring throughout lends a drama of detail which unifies, delights and enhances within its subtlety.

The modest entrance hall with its practical utility and boot room opens to a 19'0 breakfast kitchen where freestanding Habitat units and a brick fireplace with inset range leads through double doors to the dramatic dual height of the former midstrey and threshing area which is now a stunning family area with the great doors to two aspects and exposed timbers. Further doors open through to the principal sitting room with cast iron stove ensuring that this suite of rooms becomes an unrivalled entertaining space.

The barns retain their rural outlook and the primarily grassed plot with recently reintroduced native trees and puddled clay lined pond allows access to an attached single storey series of loose boxes and garaging for four cars which could, together with the separate four bay open fronted cart shed and detached store, become additional accommodation or workspace if required (subject to the necessary permissions).

Main Street Barn wears its heritage with pride : history brought home.
