The Shippen Barn offers a great opportunity to those seeking a rural retreat with the convenience of nearby towns and villages. Wellington is just 5 miles away and sits close to the A38 and M5, the town has good variety of shops, supermarkets including Co-op, Waitrose, Asda and a selection of independent retailers.

The Shippen is the middle of three properties converted from traditional stone barns to a high standard approximately 15 years ago, the approach is from a quiet country lane flanked by open farmland, a driveway provides easy access to the front with parking for all three properties and gateway to the garden.

The accommodation comprises in brief: On the Ground Floor with underfloor heating throughout, Spacious Entrance Hallway with stairs rising to the first floor, Cloakroom with w/c and washbasin and door into the delightful Living Room, a generous space with a warm welcome given by the wood burning stove and twin French doors to the southerly aspect. The large Kitchen/Dining Room would make a hub for any family, with ample space for dining furniture and modern fitted kitchen units in traditional style including features such as a five ring gas hob, double oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The room is enhanced by the twin French doors on the southern wall that open onto the adjoining patio that offers a convenient space for outdoor entertaining.

The first floor benefits from attractive features such as vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and wood panel doors with latches throughout. From the first floor landing there is access to the master bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and family bathroom.

Outside the property, to the front aspect there is a spacious driveway shared with two neighbours (maintenance is shared with a management fund) one parking space and low maintenance patio immediately adjoining the house behind attractive iron railings. The private detached garden is situated a short distance from the door, it is surrounded by mature hedging and is laid mostly to grass, from here there are superb views of the surrounding countryside and whilst it currently provides a recreational space, it would easily accommodate a good size fruit/veg plot if needed.

Agents note: A maintenance fee of approx. £30 per month is payable for the upkeep of the communal facilities shared by all 3 barns. Each owner is appointed a director of the management company on completion of the purchase.
