Property Details

The properties at Barleycroft consist of a mix of 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom houses, catering to various buyer needs. While specific availability is subject to the current resale market, the original new build specification for these homes included a high level of finish. Interiors are characterised by open-plan living spaces and fully fitted modern kitchens. Kitchen specifications featured an induction hob with touch controls, an integrated fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, and dishwasher, complemented by LED under wall unit lighting. The homes also include elegant bathrooms and en suites, typically fitted with walk-in showers, chrome heated towel rails, and full-width mirrors. The build style was consciously inspired by its setting, offering a blend of stylish, contemporary living within a traditional village envelope.
