A Former Dairy Reimagined as a Remarkable Home and Unique Creative Space
Steeped in history yet designed for modern living, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of character, creativity, and versatility.
Once a traditional dairy, it has been transformed into an impressive live-work environment, providing over 300 m² of space that seamlessly blends residential comfort with inspiring professional space.
Accessed through electric gates, the property opens onto a private courtyard with ample parking. The striking exterior hints at the unique spaces beyond, where industrial heritage and contemporary design come together in perfect harmony.
The ground floor is dominated by an expansive workshop and studio area of approximately 130 m². Flooded with natural light, it currently serves as an artist's workspace and exhibition gallery. The open-plan layout offers endless possibilities for creative professionals, craftspeople, designers, or anyone seeking a substantial work environment at home.
Complementing this ground floor space are two double bedrooms and an office together with practical facilities including a laundry room, shower room, huge store room and WC.
A staircase rises above the studio to reveal an extraordinary first-floor living space of around 120 m². Open, bright, and full of character, this level has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious lounge and dining area flow effortlessly around a contemporary kitchen. There is air conditioning for the summer months while two wood-burning stoves create warm focal points during the winter.
Architectural features, carefully selected materials, and generous proportions give the interior a distinctive loft-style atmosphere, balancing industrial influences with a welcoming sense of home.
Large glazed doors open onto an elevated timber terrace overlooking the landscaped garden below. Here, a tranquil pond and mature planting create a private retreat where nature takes centre stage, offering a peaceful contrast to the creative energy of the workshop spaces.
The 1st floor principal bedroom suite has been designed as a private sanctuary, complete with dressing area and bathroom.
Offering three bedrooms in total, extensive workshop facilities, exhibition potential, and flexible accommodation, this property is ideally suited to artists, makers, entrepreneurs, or anyone searching for a distinctive property with room to live and create.
A second enclosed garden area next door provides additional outdoor potential and could easily be incorporated into the main garden to create a larger unified space.
Conveniently situated within walking distance of a popular local lake and close to everyday amenities, this former dairy enjoys an excellent location while offering an entirely unique lifestyle opportunity.
A truly exceptional property where heritage, creativity, and contemporary living combine to create something really quite extraordinary.

Opening Hours
Tuesday to Friday 10am - 4.30pmDiscuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
