This barn conversion blends into its wild flower meadow surrounds with its original exposed rust red Corten steel barrel-shaped roof and rustic timber cladding.
Inside the home is an open-plan living space with mezzanine floor – designed to capitalise on the height and drama of its unusual vaulted ceiling.
While the home feels unimposing from its exterior, there is enough space inside for six bedrooms and comes with 10 acres of land, including a long hedge-lined driveway with Sussex-style rustic-cut post and rail fencing.
Here we take a proper look inside the £2.25 million home.

The house is accessed via a hedge and tree-lined driveway, where the red of the home's Corten roof and Siberian larch-clad wing can be seen in the distance.
The home has two recessed porch entrances, ones that sit behind the door frame, for storing muddy boots and logs. Meanwhile, its 10-acre grounds include pastures, meadows, an orchard, and a pond.
