Discreetly positioned with open views and attractive gardens, this very well appointed detached barn conversion offers versatile and spacious family living with four bedrooms and combining character with quality fittings.
A rare opportunity to acquire an impressive detached home offering extremely well-appointed and spacious four bedroom family living in a most private setting with wonderful views. Fryers Barn was converted about eight years ago and since then the current owners have transformed the property with a well-planned layout which maximises the space whilst being sympathetic to the building's individual character. The two-storey layout incorporates a large sitting room and an extended living/dining kitchen. Versatility is added thanks to two ground floor bedrooms and a luxury bathroom, plus there is a master bedroom with an en-suite and a further bedroom to the first floor. There are exposed beams, panelled internal doors with latch handles, a wood-burning stove, oak kitchen units plus double-glazed wooden framed windows and liquid propane gas-fired central heating with individually zoned under floor heating to the majority of the ground floor and radiators to the first floor. The sympathetic conversion of this attractive stone barn includes quality fittings such as a luxury house bathroom and en-suite shower room, granite work surfaces to the kitchen which has integrated appliances, plus a security system. There is an enclosed garden to the front with patio, lawn and useful amenity area, plus a sweeping driveway with ample parking. An internal appraisal is required to appreciate the discreet location of this individual home, its exceptional interiors and attractive views.
