The Property

Barn 4 at Rimmers Farm is an impeccably presented barn conversion, occupying an attractive rural position in Wichenford with open countryside views and around 1.7 acres of gardens and paddock.

The property has undergone a complete programme of renovation, including new windows and doors, electrics, boiler, kitchen and bathrooms. Its agricultural character has been carefully retained through exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, arched openings and warm brick elevations, complemented by crisp contemporary finishes and a strong connection between the house and gardens.

The entrance hall provides a practical arrival space, with a stone floor, fitted seating and storage, alongside access to a ground floor cloakroom and the integral double garage.

The vaulted kitchen and breakfast room forms the centre of the house. Exposed roof timbers rise above contemporary two tone cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a substantial island, while arched windows and doors bring natural light into the room. French doors open onto a sheltered courtyard, creating an easy extension of the kitchen for outdoor dining.

Beyond the kitchen, the open plan dining and living accommodation unfolds towards the garden. The dining area sits beneath the continuation of the vaulted roof, before opening into a bright sitting space framed by wide glazing and bi-fold doors. These draw the garden, pool and countryside outlook directly into the room.

A further sitting area is arranged around a contemporary wood burning stove, with exposed beams and herringbone flooring bringing warmth and texture to the interior. The generous proportions allow the living spaces to remain connected while retaining distinct areas for dining, gathering and more relaxed evenings.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor. One is a double bedroom with an en suite shower room, while the fourth bedroom is currently used as an additional reception room, offering flexibility for guests, family life or working from home.

The first floor provides two further double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the second is served by the family bathroom. Both rooms enjoy countryside views through Juliet balconies, reinforcing the house’s connection with its rural setting.

A detached timber clad studio sits within the garden and is currently arranged as a comfortable home office. Its proportions, glazing and outlook make it equally well suited to creative work, exercise or a combination of uses.

Externally

The gardens have been designed as a series of distinct but connected spaces. Immediately outside the kitchen, a sheltered courtyard is framed by raised planting, ornamental grasses and colourful borders, creating a particularly inviting setting for outdoor dining.

The principal garden opens beyond, with a broad lawn, mature boundaries and views across the adjoining countryside. A beautifully finished swimming pool with a powerful swim jet sits within a paved terrace, allowing it to be used for both exercise and relaxed summer swimming.

The detached studio is positioned beside the pool and gardens, with glazed doors overlooking the planting and open landscape. Its separation from the main house makes it an excellent working environment, without losing its connection to the wider property.

Beyond the garden lies the paddock, providing space for grazing, recreation or animals. The grounds extend to around 1.7 acres in all.

The integral double garage offers generous parking and storage, complemented by ample driveway parking.
