HERITAGE FEATURES

A former wing of the imposing Barleythorpe Hall, dating back to the 1800s and converted to residential use in 2018; No. 9, Barleythorpe Mews is bursting with period features. Park up in your single garage or on the block paved driveway, before making your way through the enclosed, south east-facing garden to a sunny terrace where glazed doors invite you into the open-plan kitchen living area, with high ceilings trimmed in double cornicing. Deep skirtings highlight the quality of this converted period home whilst tall sash windows draw in the daylight.

ENTERTAIN WITH EASE

With plenty of space to dine and unwind, the open-plan layout allows the chef to still be a part of the conversation, even while cooking! High-gloss worktops provide plenty of preparation space, while storage is abundant in the deep cupboards and drawers. Continue into the entrance hallway, where there is access to the front door and a cloakroom alongside another large storage room. The high ceiling, deep skirtings and winding staircase continue to deliver the period charm of Barleythorpe Mews. Ascend the wide staircase – well illuminated courtesy of several overhead roof lanterns – emerging on the landing where four bedrooms await.

SOAK AND SLEEP

Step through to the first bedroom, carpeted and brightly lit courtesy of a roof lantern. Currently utilised as an office, this could also make an ideal nursery. Refreshment awaits in the calm and restorative bathroom along the landing, fitted with bath and overhead shower. Two further restful double bedrooms - one illuminated by a large roof lantern features fitted wardrobes, the other a traditional-style sash window overlooking the garden aspect. Finally make your way into the principal suite, where light streams in through two sash windows overlooking the garden. With ample space for a super-kingsize bed, this room also contains fitted wardrobes. Furnished with a fresh and contemporary en suite, there is a large walk-in shower, wash basin, lavatory and heated towel radiator.
