Owners Comments
“Living in Whiteparish has been a wonderful treat for us. We have the most ideal neighbours and the village community is so spirited. The firework displays on bonfire night are spectacular and being able to walk to the village pub is also a bonus!”
“Haven Barn has provided us with the luxury and accommodation we have aspired to. It is comfortable, easy and cost efficient to maintain yet offers substantial openness of accommodation which is ideal for entertaining, with the annex offering additional living space for guests.”
Introduction
Constructed by reputable local builders Walden Homes, a name synonymous with quality, the property is arranged over four floors and is supplemented by a stunning two bedroom annex totalling a vast 5000sqft of striking accommodation. There are a host of attractive design features including a cantilevered oak and glass staircase, an atrium style entrance hall with feature trusses and exposed timbers and the most stylish German kitchen with fully integrated luxury appliances. The main house accommodation is vast, with the five bedrooms served by four lavish bathrooms comprising Duravit sanitary ware and Hansgrohe fittings and the ground floor accommodation arranged in an open plan styling featuring bifold doors to the garden and a suspended rotating wood burning stove. Although highly contemporary, the design is traditional in style, constructed of handmade clay bricks and tiles but has been built with energy efficiency and convenience in mind to include digitally zoned underfloor heating, high security aluminium doors and windows and feature LED energy saving lighting.
This is a remarkable home set within beautifully landscape gardens offering all the conveniences modern living requires.
