Private grounds, countryside and views are the background to this superb family home which occupies c1.8 acres of its own land and gardens.
A sweeping gravelled driveway introduces the house and land, within this peaceful countryside setting. Swanpool Barn is a beautiful country barn conversion that is listed Grade II dating back to as early as 17th century with more modern additions added in later years. The principal elevation is a mellow brick with exposed timber frames, making it a home of charm which runs throughout the structure and interiors along with the classic vaulted ceilings, double height glazing and exposed brick work that you would expect of this period conversion. The orientation of the house allows for full views over its private grounds as it sits centrally within its plot.
At over 3600 Sq Ft, the internal accommodation is flexible and practical and with the addition of the annex, offers various usage including multi-generational living or as a potential income stream, should a prospective new owner wish. ?The current owners have made significant enhancements to the house, carefully enhancing the charm already there with a modern update making Swanpool Barn the most comfortable of homes with an immaculate and stylish finish.
The principal entrance is via a spacious hallway to the south of the kitchen and adjacent to the parking area. The principal reception space is a series of three, separate rooms occupying one side of the house and all interlinking, ideal for family living and entertaining alike. The kitchen is particularly impressive with a triple height vaulted ceiling with a range of hand painted cabinetry and integrated appliances under granite worktops and a spacious area for a breakfast table.
From here is the more formal dining area which connects to the sitting room, a glorious space with exposed brickwork, timber framed features and two single doors providing access to the courtyard and the front. On this level, accessed adjacent to the kitchen is the principal bedroom suite with a dressing room, en suite and cloakroom.
First floor access is via a timber staircase leading up to split levels comprising three double bedrooms, one of which is an en suite and there is a family bathroom.
Spanning the main body of the barn and the annex, connecting these two sides of the house, is the impressive garden room. A run of full height glazed panels overlook the central courtyards and gardens. There are two sets of double doors, one located centrally and the other giving access into the kitchen.
To the other end is a door into a bathroom and a hallway to the annex. This is a wonderful extension to the main house, a spacious area with views into, and access to, the courtyard gardens. There is ample living space by way of a lovely sitting/dining room, with log burner, in addition to a well-appointed kitchen and two bedrooms which share a Jack and Jill style en suite.
Outside:
Swanpool Barn occupies a picturesque setting enjoying a mixture of rural and village views. Electric gates are a grand entry to the house and land, with a sweeping driveway providing off road parking. New fencing boarder the acreage and formal gardens. The position is, without any doubt, one of the finest with the property immersed it in own acreage.
There is an option to acquire the excellent equestrian facilities, including a ménage, six stables, two tack rooms, two hay stores and an extra further 5.3 acres, should a prospective owner wish.
Situation:
Kents Green is a charming hamlet next to the larger village of Tibberton, with its own popular Primary School and village hall in addition to a variety of clubs and activities. The traditional market town of Ledbury is a short drive and offers an excellent range of local facilities including shops, schools, a doctor's surgery, public house, a classic hotel and supermarket. The nearest largest city is Gloucester (just 13 miles) characterised by its famous Cathedral and Dock and Cheltenham's cultural centre, just 15 miles. Schooling both in the state, grammar and private sector are also excellent within the local area including renowned schools Kings School Gloucester, Malvern College and Cheltenham College, The Cheltenham Ladies' College and Dean Close in Cheltenham. From Gloucester, mainline railway station offers services to major cities and the larger centres of Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham are all just over an hour away by car. The appeal of such a location is the rural lifestyle it offers surrounded by some of the most breath-taking walking and countryside, yet within easy commute of towns and larger centrals.
