Description

Church Barn was formerly an agricultural building serving The Moat House and became a separate residential dwelling in 2021 following an extensive programme of conversion and refurbishment. The property is vacant and ready to move into.

The flexible and well-laid out accommodation extends to 2,726 sq. ft. and is laid out over two floors. You enter the property via a welcoming entrance hall with guest cloakroom. Accessed from the hall is a spacious utility with door to the outside. There is a bedroom on the ground floor situated next to a bathroom which could also be used as a home office or games room.

The kitchen/sitting/dining room is at the heart of the house and is a dramatic space with vaulted ceiling and large window openings allowing light to flood in. The bespoke fitted kitchen is fitted with a Rangemaster range cooker and an excellent range of cabinets painted in Farrow and Ball ‘Stiffkey’ beneath quartz worktops. There is a substantial island unit with breakfast bar. Adjacent to the kitchen/sitting/dining room is a lovely room which could be used either as a formal dining area or study.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 are accessed from the kitchen/sitting/dining room and share a shower room. Bedroom 2 has independent access from the outside. The generous principal bedroom suite is located on the first floor. This is a wonderfully light room with access to an en suite bathroom with free standing bath and separate wet room shower.

Great thought and attention has been given to the conversion of the property. The doors, some of which are bespoke, staircases and skirting boards are oak.
