Description

Tile Barn House is an immaculately presented Grade II listed family home which has been substantially extended and refurbished to a high specification by the current owners, resulting in well proportioned accommodation which is arranged over two floors, with planning permission (18/03024/LBC) to extend in to the existing roof space.

This stunning home has been restored, extended and refurbished merging the 17th century origins with a modern and contemporary twist and benefits from newly installed central heating in 2019. The ground floor accommodation features beautiful sandstone flooring to the majority of rooms which benefits from wet underfloor heating. Reception rooms comprise a sitting room with inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove and slate hearth, and a study with feature fireplace.

A special feature is the impressive vaulted entrance hall with original brickwork wall which leads to the well proportioned and bespoke fitted kitchen/breakfast/dining room with underfloor heating and direct access, via bi-fold doors to a lovely porcelain paved terrace. The kitchen is equipped with a range of cupboards and central island with quartz work surfaces. Appliances include a Neff integral dishwasher and a wine cooler. There is space for an American style fridge freezer and a range cooker. The utility room has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and features a rear door which leads to the terrace area.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms, served by a stylishly appointed family bathroom and an en suite shower room to the second bedroom, both with contemporary sanitary ware. The main bedroom has potential for an en suite bathroom.

Tile Barn House is approached via two sets of five bar gates that open to a sweeping in and out gravel driveway providing parking for several cars. Lying to three sides of the property, the attractive level gardens are a blank canvas to a potential buyer, with a substantial paved terrace with outside shower, ideal for al fresco dining and two paddocks expanding to the north and south currently down to grazing, all totalling about 5.5 Acres.
