Annex
A space that has been created by the current owners and can be available for a multitude of uses.
It is currently set out with a completely re-fitted bathroom, a large games room (currently hosting a full sized pool table) and a home gymnasium.
The annex was created with the potential of separating if/when needed to give the option and potential to divide the living room and create a second bedroom.
Outside
Accessed by electric gates and leading directly to a brick paviour driveway area, there is a four bay carport with eaves storage, lighting and ladder. The driveway provides sheltered parking for vehicles and further off-road parking on the driveway for approximately five/six more cars.
The outdoor pool is enclosed by a half height wall and offers the perfect place to relax and unwind with friends and family during the summer months. It can be heated from spring through to autumn for comfort. The pump house is fitted with a WC and sink, offering space alongside the swimming pool that can be used for changing purposes.
Beyond this the gardens run along to the barn, and have been cultivated by the current owners and decorated with border flower beds showcasing a plethora of colour. A timber workshop with light, power points and concrete floor is available with multiple uses, as well as the potting shed and tandem stables.
The stable block offers housing for two horses and should a new owner wish to use the paddock for grazing the space remains completely enclosed.
A fully enclosed outside storage area accessed via a lockable door includes a large galvanised storeroom.
‘Mavericks Golf’ is currently configured as a nine hole pitch and putt golf course and in total is 1,035 yards over the course of the play.
The outside space has much potential including development plans (subject to any necessary planning permission required) to further enhance the current living space, the annex or a possible additional dwelling.

Follow this road for approximately 0.5 miles and near the bottom of the hill, the road bends to the left into the hamlet. The property will be found just before The Far Canal public house on the left hand side. If you pass Wrantage Mill/ Pet Care Store, you have gone too far. The property will be accessed by electric gates.
A note from the owners…
“We chose this house when we were working and wanted easy access to the M5 motorway. Ten years on and we will forever treasure memories of relaxing by the pool on summer evenings and weekends and going on scenic country walks in virtually any direction from the front door. We were always well supported when hosting parties, be it indoors or out. We had up to 22 people for Christmas dinner at times!!
We extended the house to achieve a large ground floor self-contained annex, which we have made great use of as a home gym and games room!
The golf course was a fun project and has been invaluable to improving our short games!!
The only downside that we can think of is finding places to go for weekends away that have better facilities than ‘The Olde Canal Barn!”
