Property description

Escape to the Country in this outstanding and unique 250 year old Barn Conversation, with all luxuries modern life demands.

The vendors instantly fell in love with this most individual four bedroom Grade II listed Barn Conversion which blends traditional charm with modern efficiency and technology to create a sense of open warmth and intimate welcome.

The home is designed for relaxed entertaining: the curving hallway leads you into the stunning 21’ 9” beamed lounge with under floor heating below Italian tiled and solid oak floors and bi-fold doors leading to the eastern breakfast terrace together with a beamed archway connecting to the superb oak and granite appointed breakfast kitchen with an extensive range of high quality appliances. The ground floor is completed by an impressive study, which could easily be adapted to either a formal dining room or playroom if required.

The sense of space continues to the first floor where a full depth curving and beamed landing serves a delightful master suite with a dual aspect bedroom with both vaulted ceiling and Juliette balcony together with a striking en-suite wet room.  The remaining bedrooms are served by an equally impressive family bathroom with spa bath and additional walk-in wet room area. 

The Barn is situated on a select, gated development of just three individual and uniquely styled homes – each of which benefit from designated parking – and it enjoys views across the paddock which the vendors currently rent under a separate licence.  The easily maintainable lawned gardens which feature a well-stocked Koi pond and south facing rear garden containing numerous rose bushes and well established plants, ensures that those balmy summer evenings are filled with relaxed socialising.  

The Barn – home at last.
