Converted from a detached agricultural building in 2022, the single-storey home includes industrial features that reflect its origins, such as original iron roof trusses, exposed beams and oversized barn windows. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space has a vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows, with doors opening onto a sheltered terrace overlooking the sea.
The property has two double bedrooms, both with en suite shower rooms, together with a utility room and separate WC. Outside, gardens and grounds stretch to almost three-quarters of an acre, incorporating a wildflower meadow, orchard and lawn bordered by woodland.
The Cow Shed, which is subject to a local occupancy clause, is on sale for £625,000 with blenkinandco.com
