Howcroft Head Barn is an impressive five-bedroom barn conversion offering spacious and versatile accommodation, combined with a wealth of original features and character throughout. Blending the charm of its agricultural heritage with the practical requirements of modern family living, this unique home provides generous living space in a highly individual setting.

A grand entrance hall creates an immediate impression, featuring a striking arched doorway that sets the tone for the character found throughout the property. Exposed stone walls and impressive timber beams are a recurring feature, adding warmth and authenticity to the accommodation.

The well-planned layout includes two reception rooms, providing flexible spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home is a spacious breakfast kitchen, complemented by a separate utility room and cloakroom. The property also benefits from a first-floor office, ideal for home working, which has its own staircase leading to an additional bedroom, creating a versatile arrangement suitable for a guest suite, teenage retreat or further workspace.

The five well-proportioned bedrooms provide ample accommodation for family living. One of the bedrooms benefits from a useful mezzanine level, offering additional space that could be utilised as a study area, dressing space or reading nook.

Externally, the low-maintenance garden has been thoughtfully designed with raised flowerbeds and attractive drystone wall boundaries, creating an inviting outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.

The property benefits from allocated parking to the front, together with a gated driveway to the rear leading to a large garage, providing excellent parking, storage and workshop space.

Combining generous accommodation, original character features and a flexible layout, this distinctive barn conversion presents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique family home in the sought-after village of Greetland.
