8 bedroom detached house

Set in grounds extending to approximately 1 acre in a beautiful rural location enjoying panoramic countryside views this converted brick barn offers very spacious flexible 4 bedroomed accommodation along with a double garage, attached 1 bedroomed annexe and a detached converted grade2 listed 3 bedroomed barn. This would be the idea property for a multi generational family or those wishing let the annexe and barn either as holiday or permanent let to gain an additional income or those requiring work from home space.

The main house features 3 large reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and conservatory on the ground floor along with an integral double garage. To the first floor there is a galleried landing, 4 bedrooms with a Jack & Jill en-suite shower room to 2 of the bedrooms and a family bathroom. The house is heated via an oil fired boiler and has double glazed windows. The annexe has a lounge, kitchen, bedroom and en-suite shower room with electric panel radiator.

The barn boasts many exposed period features and has a large reception room, fitted kitchen, bedroom and en-suite bathroom to the ground floor, another large reception room with a balcony to the front, 2 bedrooms and a shower room to the first floor. Again this is

heated with electric heaters.

There is planning permission to erect a 2 storey extension to the front of the main house to provide a double cart lodge with a large games room over. The footings have been dug in readiness for building to commence.

The gardens are mainly to the rear and are well laid out to include an orchard and soft fruit area, a delightful enclosed paved courtyard, lawned areas and mature trees. 

To the rear of the plot there is a large purpose built outhouse which is set up with a number of metal mesh dog kennels with a concrete yard to the side incorporating 2 greenhouses and 2 external kennels. There are Solar panels fitted to the roof.

All in all The Fens offers much potential to suit a variety of uses.
