Detached house in splendid gardens.

Description

High Barn is a detached family home, located in a quiet residential road, offering flexible accommodation with four bedrooms, an attractive rear garden and a double garage. The property has been in the same ownership for over fifty years and is now in need of modernisation but offers superb potential to enhance this lovely home.

The reception hall, with a cloakroom and stairs to the first floor, leads into the principal reception rooms. The sitting room extends the depth of the house with front, side and rear aspects, overlooking the gardens. Sliding doors open on to the outside terrace and the room features a brick fireplace with an electric fire. The dining room lies off the sitting room, again with garden views. The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a range of units with space for appliances, together with a breakfast bar. There is also a walk in pantry giving additional storage. The dining area has plenty of room for a table and overlooks the garden.

On the first floor three of the bedrooms are located to the rear, all with fitted wardrobes and overlooking the garden. The remaining bedroom is currently used as a study and lies to the front. These bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

Outside
High Barn enjoys front and rear gardens, with an area of lawn to the front with planted beds and mature trees providing screening. A driveway gives off street parking and leads to a double garage. Gated access on both sides leads to the attractive southerly facing rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with well stocked beds and borders and a pond. A walled terrace adjoins the house at the rear and wraps around the house providing several seating areas, perfect for outside entertaining or to relax and enjoy the garden. To the side, enclosed with hedging is a vegetable garden and path. The garden benefits from two sheds for outside storage, and is well screened with mature shrubs and trees providing privacy.
