Property description

Retaining the character and charm of a traditional Lincolnshire barn, this high quality conversion offers flexible accommodation for modern living at the heart of the ever popular village of Appleby. This modern refurbishment was done to the highest standards of design and finish and has resulted in a home of considerable character and charm.

The property is entered via a large central hallway and along with the dining room features views over the rear garden. The main lounge provides an ideal formal entertaining space and incorporates traditional features such as the inglenook fireplace and exposed timber work. This contrasts nicely with the more modern, relaxed, kitchen with its built in appliances, island and granite work surfaces. Beyond the useful utility lies both the study and gym meaning all members of the family are able to find their own space in this unique home.

To the first floor the dual aspect master bedroom enjoys a substantial dressing room with fitted cupboards to nearly 270 degrees around the central island of drawers and matching make up table. The guest bedroom at the other end of the primary upstairs accommodation benefits from a 3 piece white ensuite and views over the rear garden. The family bathroom is luxurious as one would imagine, and puts in pride of place a stunning claw foot white roll top bath, but also features a separate shower and marble topped basin unit. The secondary upstairs accommodation accessed from the utility, could make the ideal annex, studio or teenage retreat and retains the barns character through exposed roof timbers.

The property is discreetly located off Church Lane and provides extensive reception parking for those inevitable guests in front of the property and its detached garage. Well-manicured lawns and raised borders complete the front, whilst the rear enjoys private entertaining space. The rear patio with its terraced beds here, lead onto the Hot Tub Gazebo and a substantial log cabin, meaning this property can be enjoyed all year round.
