Property description

Set in an idyllic secluded location, Low Park Barn is a wonderful, light-filled barn conversion with stunning accommodation over two floors. Dating from the mid-1800's the property has a traditional Lincolnshire barn layout with former stables, grain store, threshing room and cart sheds grouped around a sheltered south-facing crew-yard. Much of the charm of the property today comes from the careful preservation of the period buildings, with arched barn-door windows, exposed reclaimed brick-work, cast iron guttering and impressive oak beams making striking features throughout the interior. New design additions, such as the solid oak latch-handled doors, carefully match the age and style of the property. Whist the period integrity of the house has been carefully conserved, the property has been enhanced throughout with the benefits of modern fittings and energy-efficient systems. Particular features include; underfloor heating, an eco-friendly ground source heating system and a centralized home hub powering audio, TV and internet systems. The spacious interior is a mix of informal, open plan living spaces, impressive reception rooms and bedrooms on two floors, whilst the many windows flood the house with natural light and make the most of the open views. Eight acres of gardens and paddock are surrounded by rolling Lincolnshire meadows and woodland. Combining charming period style with modern fixtures and cost saving energy-efficient systems, Low Park Barn is an impressive, unique and fun country residence.
