Hopton Acre

The property retains some original features, including exposed timbers and beams, vaulted ceilings and internal stonework, which complement the style of the property. * Originally converted in 1985, the barn has been recently upgraded to include new light Oak windows and internal doors, a new Oak staircase and new patio doors. * A spacious and light entrance hall with vaulted, double height ceiling is a welcoming introduction to this lovely home. Steps lead up to an informal seating area overlooking the garden, which can be accessed via double French doors, which are inset into a fully glazed aspect. * The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of this lovely home. A range of country-style fitted cupboards offer plenty of storage and are complemented by granite work-surfaces, a double Belfast-style sink, Falcon range cooker with cooker hood, (truncated)

There are three further double bedrooms, a single room and a family bathroom with separate bath and shower and a good-size airing cupboard on the landing. * One of the large double bedrooms has a spiral staircase leading down to the snug room below. An en-suite could easily be incorporated if desired to create an alternative main bedroom, a super guest suite or annexe (subject to the necessary permissions). * Travertine flooring graces the dining room, (truncated)

The Outside
* The property is approached via a private, shared drive, off a quiet, country lane which leads to the smart, gravelled parking area to the front of the property, and the double garage. * Attractive and established gardens lie to both the front and the rear of the property and comprise a large lawned area amounting to about ½ an acre, which is complemented by a variety of mature shrubs and trees, including apple, pear, plum and damson, and flowering plants. * There is also an attractive rockery and a spacious patio terrace, which is perfect for seasonal dining and entertaining and benefits from an electric awning, exterior lighting, and outdoor electric sockets. * Adjacent to the garden and driveway is a further, fenced paddock with mini arboretum, circa 0.6 acre; planted with a wonderful range of specimen trees, along with a greenhouse (requiring attention/replacement) which has power and water connected, log store and a useful timber garden shed and a summer house. * (truncated)
