Property description
This attractive detached barn conversion is in the small hamlet of Weston Jones, sitting between the larger settlements of Newport to the west and Eccleshall to the east. Enjoying views over some of the prettiest countryside of both Staffordshire and Shropshire, the property is within easy reach of the county town of Stafford with a mainline railway station providing regular intercity services to London, Birmingham and Manchester.
The property is unusual being only one of two barns to have been converted at the location, the only neighbouring properties being the cart shed and farmhouse that it once served. The conversion has been very well thought out, with a great attention to detail, particularly to the way in which light is brought into and around the property. There is ample off road parking to the front of the property from where wooden gates open into the large walled front garden.
Large floor to ceiling windows create a wonderful vaulted hallway with galleried landing from where glass bricks allow light into the adjacent rooms. To the left of the hallway is a comfortable sitting room with windows to both front and rear elevations. There is a modern log burning stove in an exposed inglenook fireplace, providing a warm focal point to the room.
To the right of the hallway is the generously proportioned dining room with plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs. Key details such as the brick settle and stable door have been retained, maintaining as much of the charm and character of the original building.
Beyond the dining room is a large breakfasting kitchen, an L-shaped room with a contemporary kitchen fitted with a range of wall and base units and an electric AGA in an exposed brick surround. The space has been well laid out, with provision for a utility/ laundry and guest cloak room, both of which are accessed from the breakfast area. A stable door opens out to the enclosed rear courtyard.
There are four good sized double bedrooms on the first floor, all arranged around the stunning galleried landing. The master bedroom benefits from an area of fitted wardrobes leading into the room itself. A well appointed en-suite shower room has a modern walk in shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin. The remaining three other bedrooms are served by the principal bathroom with its attractive roll top bath and separate shower enclosure.
There are good sized gardens to the front of the property, mainly laid to lawn with well stocked and mature borders, while to the rear is an enclosed paved courtyard, the perfect spot for entertaining as both the dining room and breakfast area open out onto it.
The property is heated by way of LPG central heating boiler and drainage is by way of private septic tank.
