Property description
**NO CHAIN** Who says they're not a fan of barn conversions? Well think again! Throwing cliche options out of the window, this beautiful three bedroom detached character home is one that boasts all the best qualities of a perfect country retreat! Situated in the beautiful rolling countryside of Bishops Offley, the views are unbeatable and with a plot of approximately 2.4 acres, you won't be short on space! The interior is incredibly bright with glazing being an important feature which maximises both the natural light and the gorgeous views. The ground floor boasts a huge dual aspect lounge with oak flooring and french doors to the garden, whilst there is also a study which could alternatively be used as a fourth bedroom, guest WC and impressive kitchen diner with fitted units and plenty of space for a perfect family room whilst also having a separate utility room for your laundry needs. The first floor has three bedrooms off the beautiful galleried landing, including a huge master bedroom with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and en suite shower room. The property was originally supposed to be a four bedroomed home, but the owners opted instead for this huge master suite so there could be an option to make a fourth bed out of the master if required. There is also an en suite off bedroom two and a separate family bathroom. Outside, wraparound gardens offer excellent space for all the family and you will also find a separate paddock with an additional woodland area. There is electric gate entry opening to a driveway owned by a neighbouring property for which this property has right of access over, which leads to a private forecourt in front of the house where there is ample parking opportunity. This stunning home blows all your stereotypical barn thoughts away and is ready to prove you wrong!
