Property description
Swinford Barn is a stunning five bedroom detached barn of intimate drama offered for sale by Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire. A magnificent dining hall opens to both the garden room and superbly appointed contemporary kitchen with utility beyond. The dual aspect 20' high lounge with full height fireplace opens to two walled gardens. All five bedrooms are en-suite and the master bedroom overlooks the lounge. There is potential for a two storey independent annexe together with an integral double garage and extensive reception parking. Select cul-de-sac of bespoke properties in Lincolnshire village. Home by design.
There is an intimate drama in this superbly presented five bedroom detached barn conversion, which was completed in 2010. The beautiful resolved conflict of traditional with modern, of reclaimed brick with crisp modern lines is harmonised by the mirroring of honey coloured Travertine flooring and light oak timber to diffuse this home with light and warmth and features underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. The considered use of dual height to the stunning dining hall and the principal lounge is re-emphasised by the first floor master suite with its feature glass and truss work which reflects the lounge below and extends the sense of space.
There is a beautiful balance between the prime social spaces and the intimate, self-contained bedrooms, all of which have en suite facilities, which ensure relaxed privacy. The potential to create an independent annexe only enhances Swinford Barn’s credentials as an entertaining home par excellence.
The home divides easily into distinct yet linked areas. The stunning dining hall is the social heart which links the eastern facing garden room which is ideal as a relaxed breakfast area, with the stylish modern kitchen, in which the distinctive island unit mirrors the floor plan and on into the dramatic dual aspect lounge, with its exposed beams spanning the 20’ high ceiling.
The lounge is overlooked by the master suite where clever use of glass and beam work extends the space.
The remainder of the ground floor includes a generous study and two en suite bedrooms together with access to the integral double garage.
The main first floor accommodation is comprised of a further double bedroom with en suite and a useful 17’8 hobby room/studio lit by two south facing windows. The fifth ground floor bedroom with independent access is linked to bedroom four by a separate staircase and could easily form a separate annexe if required.
The grounds retain the symmetry: both lawned areas are walled in the same brick as the barn, and both can be accessed from the principal lounge.
Swinford Barn diligently uses quality materials to marry the modern and the traditional into a beautifully resolved home filled with light and subtle character.
Home by design.
