Description
An exceptionally spacious and most attractively presented converted barn having handsome elevations of brick under a slate roof, with feature double height glazed windows and barn doors, and an external hay loft staircase to the front. The property was converted in 1999 and offers a wealth of character features including timber beams, exposed brick walls, cottage style wooden internal doors, flagstone style tiled floors, and many period style radiators. The generous accommodation has excellent room sizes, and a versatile layout which could be arranged to suit a variety of different buyer’s needs. The south wing of the house, which was added by the present owners in 2016, has a separate access and spiral staircase between ground and first floors, and could potentially be arranged as a separate one bedroom annexe subject to any necessary permissions being obtained.
A wood front door opens into the entrance hall with tiled floor, cloaks storage and guest cloakroom. The spectacular double height reception/ dining hall has a full height glazed wall, flagstone style tiled floor, French doors to the front terrace and a galleried landing above. Double doors open into the study and further doors and a stained glass window link through to the impressive drawing room with brick fireplace, log burner and log store, ceiling beams, wood floor, and French doors to the garden. A further set of double doors open into the large sitting room also with a brick fireplace with open grate, French doors to the garden, a door to the driveway, and a spiral staircase up to the main bedroom. The kitchen is arranged in two areas and fitted with a range of painted wood units with granite and wood surfaces, double sink, dishwasher, and Alpha oil fired range cooker. Doors lead through to a delightful oak framed breakfast/ day room with vaulted ceiling and glazed gable, log burner and double doors to the terrace and courtyard. The useful utility/ boot room has a sink unit, plumbing and space for washing machine, and a door to the garden.
An open tread oak staircase leads up to the impressive galleried landing, vaulted beamed ceiling, airing and store cupboards. The main bedroom suite can be approached from the spiral staircase and has an intercommunicating door to the guest room. It includes a generous bedroom with vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes and a luxurious bathroom with freestanding bath, twin basins and a glass shower. The guest bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and an en suite shower room, and the three further double bedrooms share the modern family bathroom.
Outside
Twin five bar gates open into a large shingle courtyard with circular pond and fountain at the front of the house. To one side is the stable yard with wood framed Triple Carport and the brick built Stable Block with four stables, tack room and WC. Permission was previously granted for conversion to a holiday let although this has lapsed.
The house is set in attractively landscaped gardens, and grounds extending to approximately 8.39 acres. The gardens around the house are mainly lawned with established beech and box hedging. There is a secluded paved courtyard and a pretty stone terrace with pergola over, perfect for summer entertaining. Approached along a second tree lined driveway are eight paddocks with post and rail fencing, a large brick and timber period barn with a corrugated roof, with an area used an office and for hay and feed storage, and also a modern pole barn.
NB Within the grounds is an area of archaeological significance, understood to be of Roman origin.
