The Property

Tucked away behind gated access and approached via a charming cobbled driveway, Dalton Grange Barn is cocooned by mature woodland and sweeping lawns, with panoramic views stretching across the Douglas Valley to the iconic spires of Parbold Hill. This is a home designed for those who crave nature, privacy, and picture-perfect vistas – from every angle.

Step inside and feel time slow. The barn’s soaring double-height living spaces are a symphony of natural textures and light, where original beams, exposed stone, and vast expanses of glass come together in breathtaking harmony. Every architectural detail speaks to the barn’s agricultural heritage, from hand-forged ironwork to grand fireplaces that invite long evenings by the fire.

The ground floor is anchored by a hand-crafted stone staircase that speaks to the barn’s agricultural heritage, its rustic charm perfectly complemented by the exposed beams and tactile stonework visible throughout. Here, a dedicated home office offers a tranquil retreat for work or creativity, while a practical boot room stands ready for muddy wellies after woodland walks. For the wine enthusiast, a wine store awaits, promising relaxed evenings of conviviality and quiet indulgence.

The formal dining room is a scene of effortless elegance, where rustic charm meets refined hospitality, it’s a space that invites long dinners, warm laughter, and timeless celebration. Just the other side of the kitchen is a beautiful sitting room, a relaxing space that speaks in whispers and warmth, a sanctuary designed for stillness, with a stone fireplace, oak flooring and wood panelling to the walls.

Tucked just off the main lounge is a dedicated home office which provides a composed and contemplative retreat, perfect for remote working, reading, or simply closing the door on the world for a while. Beyond here is the sun room, a unique room with feature glass ceiling and beams, this room draws you outward again affording beautiful aspects over the gardens and beyond.

The kitchen itself radiates warmth, soul, and the enduring charm of English country living, with its handcrafted cabinetry in a soft chalk finish providing visual harmony and generous storage, while the rich terracotta flooring underfoot brings an earthy vibrancy that anchors the space in authenticity. At its centre, a grand double island with a granite top invites both effortless preparation and convivial conversation with one side sculpted for culinary tasks, the other a gathering point for morning coffee, evening wine, or everything in between. The eye is irresistibly drawn to the magnificent brick inglenook, where an AGA range nestles like a hearth from a bygone age, crowned by artisan tiling and framed with rustic brickwork.

Flowing effortlessly between these rooms is a sense of cohesion and clarity, grounded by the home’s honest materials and considered design. And then, there is the main lounge, grand in scale and layered with character, it’s here that the barn’s artistry truly sings. Finished with a hand-crafted leather feature wall, not only as a statement of texture and tone, but also as a bespoke acoustic solution, this space gracefully transforms into a cinema room when the occasion calls. Whether hosting film nights, family gatherings, this room envelops you in comfort and craftsmanship.

Ascend to the first floor and step into what can only be described as the crown jewel of the home an 800-square-foot master suite that fuses architectural drama with the serene indulgence of a five-star retreat.

Here, vaulted ceilings soar like cathedral arches, cradling the space in the timeless beauty of the original barn structure. A stunning gala wall of glass rises with quiet splendour, preserving the integrity of the barn’s historic bones while inviting cascades of natural light to spill effortlessly into the room. Every beam, every stone, every line of timber has been lovingly retained and revealed, creating a dialogue between the past and present that is both reverent and revolutionary.

The huge glass wall adds to the airy, open-plan feel, drawing the eye upward and outward, while subtly zoning the space with modern elegance. Light bounces off the textures, transforming the room throughout the day into a living, breathing work of art. At night, electronically operated curtains glide into place, cocooning the room in gentle privacy – a quiet gesture of luxury that turns this soaring sanctuary into an intimate retreat.

And then there’s the en-suite bathroom, a sanctuary within a sanctuary. With a freestanding bath poised behind a privacy wall and a separate walk-in rainfall shower this space offers the ultimate escape, a private spa, tucked beneath centuries-old rafters.
