4 bedroom detached house

An excellent Grade II Listed five bedroom barn conversion set in mature and secluded gardens of about 0.8 of an acre.

Barn House has 17th Century origins and has been the subject of an extraordinary programme of works to create a sublime barn conversion with period proportions and effortless grace. The property offers over 3000 sq ft of accommodation centering around the stunning bespoke kitchen/breakfast room. A sympathetic blend of granite and wooden worktops intelligently fuse with all the surrounding period features to give this room a stylish and sophisticated look and feel. Other rooms of note must include the dining room with its floor to (vaulted) ceiling windows and the well proportioned and similarly bright sitting room with Inglenook fireplace. The accommodation is well laid out and would suit those looking to house a dependent relative or independent teenager, such is the configuration.

Outside is as impressive with a double oak framed carport and grounds of 0.8 acre - once the site of the original Wellow School we hear, where Florence Nightingale is said to have taught.

Wellow is located about 2 ½ miles from the centre of Romsey, which provides an extremely good range of amenities including leisure facilities, schools for all ages, both state and private, theatre and a good range of shops for everyday needs to include two supermarkets. The village itself offers 2 public houses, primary school, village hall, various shops and a Post Office. The larger centres of Southampton and Salisbury are accessed via A36 and M27 and the cathedral city of Winchester in also within easy driving distance.

A shared driveway leads to double electric gates onto a gravelled parking area. There is a barn style double carport with lockable storage and oil tank to the side. To the front of the property is a large terrace area with steps and a dwarf wall leading up to a lawned area with mature shrub and fruit tree borders. The rear garden is laid to lawn. All is enclosed by mature hedging and panelled fencing providing privacy and seclusion. The barn sits in a 1/3 of an acre of garden and a further 0.44 of an acre is found the other side of the drive - this is thought to be the original site of the original Wellow School where Florence Nightingale is believed to have taught.
