A rare example of a cruck barn is for sale at Church Farm Mews in Church Road, Dosthill, Staffordshire

A cruck frame is where a pair of long curved timbers lean inwards
to support the roof.

This Grade II listed detached conversion dates back to the 15th century.

The Cruck Barn has been stylishly renovated and modernised to a very high specification by the current owners.

The result is a home that mixes original rustic features with contemporary style
.

Entrance is through an enclosed porch into an impressive open plan lounge/dining room which features original beams, and a large inglenook fireplace.

Double doors with decorative glazed panels open into a large and superbly decorated breakfast kitchen with useful boarded loft space above it.

Other doors from the lounge lead to two double bedrooms.

Bedroom one has an en suite shower room while bedroom two is served by a luxury bathroom.

A staircase with decorative balustrade rises to a mezzanine floor level bedroom with apex roof.

The Cruck Barn is approached over a landscaped gravel courtyard with feature lighting, two allocated parking spaces and a carport.

Private seating areas are positioned to the sides of the property.

There is a landscaped back garden with patio seating areas and a garden shed for storage.

The Cruck Barn is set within a small hamlet of seven similar style residences on an exclusive gated development.

It is one of the oldest buildings alongside the Norman chapel (originally the Chapel of Ease) which was used for various services before the present church was completed in 1872.

The countryside to the west is known
as the Roundhills and is a series of slopes leading down to the River Tame which is ideal for rambling and tobogganing.

There are far reaching views from the highest point and extensive water meadows within the valley.
